The Nike kits of the Paris Saint-Germain 2020/2021 The club's 50th anniversary is celebrated with the characteristic ''Hetcher stripe''
Paris Saint-Germain celebrates the 50th anniversary of the club's birth by unveiling simultaneously the first and second Nike kits for the 2020/2021 season.
At the center of the design of the first shirt is the wide red strip, designed by the CEO of the time, as well as stylist, Daniel Hetcher who took on the managerial role in 1973, when ''Les Parisiens'' were still an amateur team. Legend has it that Hechter was so impressed with the distinctive red stripe of the Ajax uniform, that he used it as inspiration for the PSG kit, although he obviously changed the color to match it with the French flag.
The new away shirt also features a noteworthy ''Hechter stripe'', this time taking inspiration from the white kit worn during the 1995-96 season, when ''Les Parisiens'' conquered their first European title, a cup of the Cups. The central red strip is bordered blue, with a collar of the same color fixed by two central buttons.
"We wanted to celebrate 50 years of football and fashion at PSG with the club and that could only mean the return of Hechter's daring streak" said Scott Munson, vice president of Nike Football Apparel.
