PUMA celebrates Filipino culture and resilience as it launches new home and away football kits for the Philippine Men’s National Football Team (PMNFT). The new kits fuse cultural heritage, sports technology, and a commitment to sustainability.

The kits were officially unveiled at an exclusive event last December 3 at Bootcamp in BGC.

Threads of Pinoy Hope and Resilience

The PMNFT’s home kit captures the vibrant essence of the Philippine sunrise with its inspired colorway. Dual blue tones represent the meeting of the sky and the sea. The bold red accents echo the morning sun, an emblem of hope and strength.

PUMA also designed the PMNFT’s away kit, paying homage to the northeast monsoon and southwest monsoon. “Amihan and Habagat” are both natural forces and metaphors for the Filipino spirit. The kit’s design incorporates the monsoon’s seasonal patterns of rain and wind, honoring Filipinos’ resilience, courage, and enduring drive to rise above challenges.

Both the home and away kits feature PUMA’s high-performing CLOUDSPUN fabric, a custom-milled performance poly and spandex blend. This material meets the highest performance standards while still feeling luxurious like ultra-soft cotton. The kits also come with dryCELL performance technology, designed to wick moisture away from the body to keep athletes feeling fresh and sweat-free even during the most intense games.

As part of PUMA’s RE:FIBRE program, the PFF kits were crafted with at least 95% recycled materials. This program embodies the European sports brand’s commitment to a sustainable future by transforming textile waste and other used materials into high-quality textiles to pioneer circularity.

A New Dawn

The new football kits from PUMA are set to become the PMNFT’s official uniform throughout the ASEAN Mitsubishi Electric Cup 2024. The team will don their new kits as they kick off their ASEAN Mitsubishi Electric Cup campaign with a match against Myanmar on December 12 at the Rizal Memorial Stadium in Manila.

Football fans can get their hands on the new football kits starting December 7. The shirt will be available for PHP 3,000 while the shorts will be available for PHP 2,500 at PUMA stores in Glorietta, Shangri-La, Venice Grand Canal Mall, Gateway Mall, Trinoma, SM North EDSA, Bootcamp and PUMA.com.

The kits will be available at PUMA Ayala Cebu and PUMA Ayala Capitol Central in Bacolod on December 10.
