Away shirt worn by Atlético de Madrid during the 1996/97 season.
The shirt features a dark navy base with a bold red band running across the chest and extending onto the left sleeve. This striking contrast gives the kit a distinctive look while still reflecting Atlético’s traditional colours, making it a memorable away design from the late 1990s.
The 1996/97 season was a year of transition for Atlético Madrid following their historic domestic double the previous year. Under manager Radomir Antić, the club finished 5th in La Liga with 71 points (20 wins, 11 draws, 11 losses), securing another strong league campaign. Atlético also enjoyed a notable run in the UEFA Champions League, reaching the quarter-finals before being eliminated by AFC Ajax 4–3 on aggregate after a dramatic extra-time defeat. In domestic cup competitions, the team reached the quarter-finals of the Copa del Rey and finished runners-up in the Supercopa de España, losing to FC Barcelona.
