Athletic Club will use for the first time their 3rd jersey against Tromso IL at the away match of the UEFA Europa League. However many of the fans thought they would get to know it last August 20th at the home game. Even different media picked up the story. What happened then?

UEFA Kit Regulations indicate that in case of colour matching, is the home team who changes his jersey. This principle is under the Fair Play spirit but mainly for practical reasons: it is always easier for the local than for the visitor get an alternate kit.

As you know, Tromso IL jersey shows red and white vertical stripes so there were those who thought Athletic Club would release the 3rd black jersey. However in previous meetings and contacts held between the two clubs, it had been agreed that each team would play in their pitch and in front of their crowd with their Home Kit.

We trust this release will bring us best luck in the European competition.
