For the new Pumas UNAM home and away kits, Nike drew upon the design of the Central Library of the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México to reinforce the longstanding connection between the club and its community.

Team forward Lalo Herrera says, “I’m sure the inspiration around the Central Library will reinforce our connection with students,” adding, “It is a very clean design. The team also liked the integrated technology. It feels lighter and fits the body very well.”

Featuring the Pumas’ signature gold color, the 2016/17 home kit represents the east side of the Central Library. The home jersey places the iconic Pumas image in the place of the sun, surrounded by figures that symbolize the Copernican theory and other representative elements of México, including the Tenochtitlan city map drawn in 1525. The imagery covers the front of the shirt with darker shades of gold on the shoulders.

The sides of the kit have a blue stripe that runs down the sides of shirt and shorts. Expanding when the player is in motion, the stripe maximizes ventilation. Blue socks, mirroring the accent color of the jersey, complete the 16/17 Pumas UNAM home uniform.

Inspired by the library’s west side, the away kit integrates the team’s classic blue on the jersey and shorts with graphics related to the Ptolemaic theory and historical representations of the falling eagle image, referring to Cuauhtémoc, the last Aztec emperor. The front of the shirt is covered by the graphics of the Central Library. Navy blue shorts and gold socks accompany the jersey.
