“Inspired by the elegant fashion houses of Milan, and the youthful style of the city, Inter are proud to be individual, and now have a unique kit for a unique club,” wrote Nike on their official website.

#3 Liverpool FC

Liverpool have unveiled all three of their kits including the goalkeeper ones with Warriors as their manufacturer.

The use of Wart-Tech, Warrior's signature apparel technology system is the biggest improvement for the home kit with benefits of the fabric including a highly breathable shirt as well as moisture-wicking to keep players dry.

The home jersey features the traditional red lines along the white stripes on the sleeves, resembling the one donned during the 1960s. A 96 logo is inscribed on the back of the shirt as a tribute to the Hillsborough victims.

#4 Manchester United

The new Manchester United home kit for the 2014-15 season proudly embodies the club’s purest and most authentic identity – the red, white and black colors instantly recognized and revered around the world. This kit features a red shirt, white collar and cuffs with a red-and-black trim. The kit is completed by white shorts and black socks with a red band.

The shirt welcomes the return of the white collar, which for the first time is a ribbed crew-neck design. The bottom of the collar has a subtle chevron finish to replicate the pattern used on the chest of United shirts as far back as the early 20th century, and again in recent times.

The button hidden in the collar is unique to the shirt — red with a black trim and engraved with the club name. Inside the back of the neck is a small label with the message: "Youth, Courage, Greatness" to represent the club’s values. On the back of the shirt below the neck is a black devil from the club crest, and across the back is a series of chevrons in engineered mesh to emphasize the importance of the shape to United.

While this new kit features Nike’s signature design details, it also offers players the very latest in performance innovation, kit technology and environmental sustainability.

#5 Real Madrid

UEFA Champions League winners Real Madrid unveiled their new kits for the upcoming 2014/15 season at the Santiago Bernabeu, with their second strip being pink this time instead of orange like last season.

Real Madrid had earlier released a teaser video starring Gareth Bale and Marcelo indicating that the Los Blancos could be wearing pink for a change this season. Surpirisngly, even their home kit features a pink trim on the shorts and socks.

To honor the club’s sporting achievements, the first jersey has a star on the chest that shines like a light. You can also spot the lines of the Santiago Bernabeu stadium along with it.

Talking about the pink kit, the club’s official website stated, “The second kit is even more of a break from tradition. The main colour is fuchsia, a concept never seen before in the club's 112-year history. The crest will create a unique and impressive visual impact as it is made entirely in pink and white.”

“As is usually the case with Adidas garments, the jersey incorporates Climacool technology, which helps regulate body temperature during play.”

#6 FC Barcelona

The Catalan giants have unveiled their home kit for the upcoming season with not much difference from the older one. The new kit will feature the traditional red and blue stripes, and comes with a much enlarged crest. Among the major changes, the Catalan or Senyera flag has been inscribed underneath the collar, and alongside the three kit sponsors in Nike, Qatar Airways and UNICEF, the new kit will see the presence of a Beko’s logo on the team jersey, becoming the first brand whose logo will be featured on the team jersey’s sleeve.

Like most of the other kits manufactured by Nike, the Dri-Fit Technolgy was used while designing the kit, which helps in draining sweat away from the body to the exterior of the shirts and shorts where it quickly evaporates during matches. The shirts also feature laser-cut ventilation holes to promote localized cooling, to help regulate player temperatures during a match. Environmental Sustainability is at the forefront of Nike’s designs these days and this kit is no exception as these were manufactured with recycled plastic bottles as well.

#11 AC Milan

Unlike most of the other major European teams, AC Milan had already unveiled their new kit at the end of last season as they used it for their last two league matches.

The home jersey for the first time bears two shades of red as well different widths of the stripes. The logo of the club has been scrapped giving way to St.George’s cross,a historical element of the town flag, which was woven into AC Milan’s jerseys since the foundation of the club until the 40’s and for the club centenary.

“The home jersey showcases a new design and new colour tonalities while the third jersey is meant to be the perfect link to the 2014 FIFA World Cup, a competition we sponsor and for which we provide the official match ball since 1970,” said Jean Michel Granier, Managing Director of Adidas South Europe. “An event indissolubly linked to the 3-Stripes and that will be the perfect setting to show the strength of our brand through the excellence of a portfolio of assets and products that only Adidas can offer.”

It features a retro look with red and blue vertical stripes all-over along with the white stripes on the sides, sleeves and collar. The triumvirate of colours used by Adidas is a show of the power and phenomenal success of the club which has been one of the best sides of Europe in the recent years.

Along the lining at the back of the neck will feature the words ‘Mia san Mia’ – the German motto known well by the Bayern faithful, meaning ‘We are who we are’ in English. The goalkeeper’s jersey is grey with a special design on the front and the sleeves and it sure looks flamboyant.
