RC Deportivo return to their origins for their 110th anniversary. The Galician club have brought out a special kit for this season, a tribute to the strip design of the club’s early years.
The new kit, consisting of a grey shirt, black shorts and black socks with white horizontal stripes is a design inspired by the club’s very first strip. A description of the garment was noted in the minutes of the first documented meeting between the club’s forefathers, a month and half after Deportivo’s inaugural match on December 8, 1906, almost 110 years ago.
The new strip will be one of three that Deportivo will be sporting this season, although their home kit will still be the usual blue-and-white striped shirt with blue shorts.

The design of the kit is inspired by the one worn in the club’s early days and features a replica of the original club badge located above the right breast pocket, made up of the initials ‘CD’. In addition, the collar features buttons like the original, and on its rear part is a special logo commemorating the 110th anniversary of the club. On the shirt sleeve, the LaLiga logo is embroidered in thread to give it a more traditional feel.
