The adidas third kit of Tigres UANL
Released (on FIFA 21) during a historic moment for the Mexican club
February 10th, 2021
In the days leading up to the Club World Cup final, adidas presented the third shirt of Tigres UANL, a Mexican team that will play, tomorrow night, the last match of the tournament against Bayern Munich. The fact that adidas presents the third kit of the club on the eve of the historic appointment for Tigres - the first team from Central America to play a final of this type - is a pure chance, but also for this reason, although there is still no confirmation, there is the possibility that this new jersey will be worn precisely in the challenge against the Germans.
The shirt follows a detail of the template of the first and second uniforms of this season, that is, with the name of the club at the center of the jersey, in place of the sponsor Cemex - which instead, is placed a little lower. In the white-based model, the gold writing and details stand out, which characterize the shirt with a fine touch and a dimension of elegance. In fact, the central band with the inscription TIGRES in white, the symbol of adidas and the coat of arms of the club plus, along all shoulders and sleeves, the three stripes typical of the German brand are in gold. The edge of the sleeves is also made of gold. By the way, there are two versions of the uniform, since, in addition to the classic pattern with club coat of arms on the left and adidas logo on the right, there is also another one in which there are patches added (always in gold) that move the adidas logo to the center. The gold color of the shirt is to remember the victories of the Mexican club's trophies (including seven Mexican championships and a CONCACAAF Champions League) and, precisely for this reason, it is thought that the shirt can also appear in the final against Bayern Munich, which in turn, could put another special kit.
In the shooting for the presentation of the new shirt, the club involved many young fans, also to underline the club's bond between the youngest and its history. But above all, Tigres, like many other sports clubs in recent months, has entered into an agreement with EA Sports (and adidas) to launch the new jersey also on FIFA 21: the third kit of the club will also be available on the video game in the PC version and starting next March 16.
