This season, the players and fans of the club will have three sets of uniforms, each of which embodies modern technologies and traditions of the club. The first two sets are made in the traditional colors of the club and emotionally convey the team’s symbols.
The third kit is the first in the club’s history to be created in the national colors of Ukraine, which makes it special and a source of pride.
At Puma, we believe that high-quality equipment is not just clothing, but a tool that helps players to show a bright game and win. The basis of the new uniforms for the 2024-2025 season is the innovative ULTRAWEAVE technology. ULTRAWEAVE is an ultra-lightweight, engineered fabric created using high-precision
weaving technology. Its design features a structured, 4-way stretch that reduces weight and friction. It’s all about being faster and stronger on the football field.
We congratulate the players and fans of the club on the start of the new season! May it be bright and successful for FC Shakhtar. We are looking forward to new victories together with you!”

The main idea of the video campaign for the presentation of the new kit was to reflect the story of the fans who go through the formation of the club, victories and difficult moments, while remaining loyal to it. Love for your club begins in childhood, when you go to a match with your parents for the first time and get emotions that last a lifetime outside the football stands.
