Real Madrid, Champions League winners in 2013-14, have released their new adidas (Third) kit for their 2014-15 campaign.
In black with white trim - in the form of the granddad-style collar and adidas stripes - the shirt also carries a clearly visible watermark design of a dragon king and a bird dragon, from the hand of Japanese designer and ongoing adidas collaborator, Yohji Yamamoto.
The shorts and socks, in black with white also, tie in with the shirt - the players' version of which utilises adizero technology - and the design provoked legendary Real goalkeeper Iker Casillas to comment "Both the bird and the dragon symbolise the resurgence of recent years and strength for the coming season”. Casillas' 'keeper version is in orange and also carries the watermark.

The dragon king has been used to signify the greatness, glory and power of Real, with the adaptable bird dragon representing the resilience, determination and ability of the current European champions. The kit will be worn in Champions League games as an alternative to the white Home version, and as a third choice option in domestic matches.
