New Balance and FC Porto revealed the new away kit for FC Porto for the season 2016/17.
New Balance grabbed inspiration from the Constellation of the Dragon, which will dominate the front of the black jersey, with the everlasting “Porto! Porto! Porto!”, as the anthem of the club goes, written inside the sheath of the jersey.
The kit was developed using NB Dry technology, a fabric that absorbs humidity and helps keep players fresh and dry, whilst absorbing body sweat, allowing for a quick dry. Cut with laser and with eyelets connected under the arm, with a mesh projected on the side seams, this technic will allow for air to circle around the body. The kit is completed by black shorts and socks with blue highlights that, for a better support on the ankle, has reinforced comfort zones, such as the sole developed with polypropylene to help reduce the excess humidity when the foot touches the shoe.

Alpha Draconis, Thuban or, quite simply, Dragon is the brightest star in the Constellation of the Dragon. 215 light years away, 135 brighter than our sun, this Northern star used to guide travellers by night, the old polar star from the time of pyramids and pharaohs. Today, 4,800 years later, it is an inspiration and a symbol for FC Porto, for the city and for the fans.“This equipment is a legacy of the I&D team at New Balance.
