Heritage Meets High Performance
The shirt features a sophisticated “Alpine Snow” base—a refined, earthy beige tone—layered with a bold, abstract pattern in “Flat Dark Gray.” The design draws direct inspiration from traditional Chinese ink wash painting (shui-mo hua), using fluid brushstroke-style graphics to depict galloping horses. This artistic choice creates a sense of continuous movement, perfectly mirroring the high-tempo play style of Pep Guardiola’s side.
