Paris Saint-Germain launch new Michael Jordan-branded kit

The latest fruit of Paris Saint-Germain's long-standing collaboration with Michael Jordan's fashion brand has been revealed with the introduction of the French club's new fourth kit for the 2023-24 season.

The shiny gold stripe is a slightly belated celebration of the fifth anniversary of PSG's relationship with Jordan Brand, which began in 2018 and has produced several alternative kits and clothing collections.

In addition to the burnished hue, the jersey also features an elephant skin-inspired graphic print, iconic to the Jordan design language since its first appearance in 1988 on the Air Jordan III sneaker.

Star striker Kylian Mbappé has been roped in to show off the new jersey.

The famous pattern has also been adopted by the Parisians this season, having first been seen on the dark gray third kit.

The 2023-24 fourth kit also features a simple crew-style collar and cuffs in black and navy, along with a black stripe that extends from the underarms to the bottom hem and monotone patches and badges in order to rationalize the palette.

Several prominent members of the Paris Saint-Germain women's team – including Korbin Albert, Élisa De Almeida, Grace Geyoro, Jackie Groenen and Sakina Karchaoui – visited the National Museum of Qatar in Doha for the launch, with the golden jersey on display fitting perfectly with the sandy, abstract architecture of the building.

The fourth jersey will be worn by both the men's and women's teams, with the latter expected to wear it first in their Champions League return against Ajax Amsterdam this week.
