Milan have dropped an anniversary kit to celebrate 125 years since the club’s foundation.

“AC Milan and global sports company PUMA today proudly unveil the highly anticipated 125th Anniversary kit, a celebration of Rossoneri heritage and innovation, designed by the fans and crafted for greatness. Voted on by loyal AC Milan supporters through an immersive competition, the new kit embodies the timeless style and Milanismo spirit that the Club has championed since its founding in 1899,” the Rossoneri said in a statement.

“The 125th Anniversary Capsule Collection includes the Authentic Player Jersey, Goalkeeper Jersey, Retro Football, and a special limited-edition Retro Style Jersey. In homage to the Club’s founding year, only 1,899 units of this retro-style jersey will be available, each with a unique serial number and exclusive packaging – a true collector’s item for dedicated fans.”

The retro kit was unveiled during an event in Milan on Wednesday.

The kit will debut on December 8 in a Lega Serie A Femminile derby against Inter. The men’s First Team will wear it on December 15 in a Serie A match against Patrick Vieira’s Genoa.

“The design journey began last December when AC Milan fans were invited to shape the Club’s legacy by choosing key elements of the 125th Anniversary jersey. Through the ‘Design our Jersey, Design our Legacy’ campaign and a bespoke platform, fans made design choices that reflect key moments in AC Milan’s storied history,” Milan continued.

“This jersey is a reflection of AC Milan’s soul – its passion, its history, and the vision for its future,” said Milan legend and honorary vice-president Franco Baresi.

“As someone who has proudly represented this Club for 50 years in many different roles, this milestone represents a moment of celebration and unity for the entire Rossoneri family. The 125th Anniversary is a testament to the values and spirit that make AC Milan extraordinary, and this kit is a beautiful way to honour our journey while celebrating the unwavering bond with our fans.”
