AC Milan 1998-1999 Third Kit

The AC Milan 1998-1999 Third Kit, crafted by Adidas, was a bold all-black alternative introduced during the club’s triumphant Serie A season under manager Alberto Zaccheroni, where they clinched the title with a dramatic seven-match winning streak to end the campaign. This rare third kit featured a clean black base, symbolizing elegance and power, accented by subtle red and white stripes on the collar and cuffs, along with the iconic Adidas three stripes in white on the shoulders. The Opel sponsor logo was prominently displayed in white across the chest, opposite the traditional AC Milan crest in red and black, creating a striking contrast that embodied the Rossoneri’s fiery spirit in a minimalist design. Inside the collar, the club’s motto reinforced their heritage, while the kit’s lightweight polyester construction ensured comfort on the pitch.

Worn by legends like Paolo Maldini, Zvonimir Boban, Roberto Ayala, Alessandro Costacurta, Thomas Helveg, and Roberto Donadoni, this kit was used sparingly in key matches to avoid clashes, adding to its cult status among collectors. The full kit was completed with black shorts and socks, accented with red details for a unified, sophisticated look. Ideal for retro enthusiasts, casual wear, or as a collector’s item, it captures the essence of Milan’s late-90s dominance. Personalization options for names and numbers, such as Maldini or Boban, are available on replicas.
