Before every home match at the Riyadh Air Metropolitano, a specific song plays. Familiar, popular at sporting events, but known around LaLiga as Atletico’s warm up song.
It’s none other than “Thunderstruck” by AC/DC and that song is none other than the inspiration for their 25/26 away jersey. No joke, Nike looked to the stadium’s pregame atmosphere and hype, combined with a thunderous lightning bolt pattern and used it to inform their kit design decisions – and it worked. On a deep navy blue body, subtle lightning bolt patterns shimmer down the kit adding layered texture in an all-over style, while the side stripes and accents across the jersey feature the jolts and bolts of yellow that only a lightning inspired-kit can pull off. On the inside neck, a warning label reads in bright yellow “Warning Atleti – Not Turning Back.”
