The PSG Hechter — their vertical line that runs down the center of the jersey — is thinner than ever this year with intricate up-close detail. It’s made up of tiny chevrons, the same shape used for Nike Mercurial cleats — to inject a thunderbolt of pace into PSG’s play.

It’s a new, reinvented take on a unique staple for PSG’s shirts since the 1973-74 season. The original, blue and red with white trim, was created by French fashion designer Daniel Hechter, an early supporter and later a club chairman.

The jersey is predominantly midnight blue with red and white additions that honor the traditional colors of Paris. The three shades work together brilliantly in refined detail along the collar. The sleeves are red for the first time.

The contemporary crest introduced for the 2013 campaign continues with the Eiffel Tower serving as a beacon of light and intercontinental influence.

The word “PARIS” can be found embedded within rear collar, while “Ici C’est Paris” (meaning “Here is Paris”) is inside to acknowledge PSG’s global standing and worldwide footprint.

Cutting-edge innovation

The authentic version of the 2017/18 Nike PSG home jersey features leading performance features in every thread with Aeroswift technology throughout:

Engineered zones provide an enhanced fit and supports athletes in constant motion. Each area is calibrated so that the jersey moves with you and together the threads form a subtle geometric pattern throughout the torso.

Taping down the sides expand when needed, and also create ventilation. The streamlined fit stays close to the body to reduce drag and provide optimum comfort. The stripe also provides a style element, revealing a white layer beneath the blue.

Both the authentic and the replica jerseys have Dri-FIT technology to help wick away sweat.
