CR7 forever! Sporting CP unveil new third kit honouring Cristiano Ronaldo as Ronaldo Jr. stars in advert unveiling 2024/25 strip
Sporting CP recently unveiled a special third kit for the 2023–24 season, designed to honor one of their most legendary graduates, Cristiano Ronaldo. The kit features a sleek black and gold design, which is a tribute to the retro style of the kits worn during Ronaldo’s time at the club. A standout feature is the prominent “CR7” logo replacing the manufacturer’s usual emblem, further emphasizing the nod to the Portuguese icon.
This release marks a significant milestone, as it coincides with the 20th anniversary of Sporting’s José Alvalade stadium, which opened in 2003. Ronaldo, who made his professional debut for Sporting in 2002, played a crucial role in the early success of the club before his landmark move to Manchester United in 2003. The new kit symbolizes the club’s connection to its past, with Ronaldo’s legacy as a key figure in their history being celebrated.
Ronaldo Jr., Cristiano’s son, appeared in the promotional advert for the new kit, linking the present with the past and showing the continued influence of Ronaldo’s family at the club. Sporting’s social media posts and campaign invite fans to reflect on the moment when the stadium opened, recalling Ronaldo’s dazzling performance in a friendly against Manchester United, the very first game at the new venue.
