Get The Gear: European Soccer’s Champions League Jerseys

Winter may be coming, but the European soccer scene is just heating up. With league play in full swing, cup competitions are starting to take on more significance; the Champions League Round of 16 is just around the corner and the teams that didn’t make it will be starting their campaigns in the Europa League. With those big matches on the horizon, there’s no better time to indulge in some gear.

After breezing through their group, Bayern Munich are one of the seeded teams for the next Champions League draw. But regardless of who they face, the Bavarian club will surely be the favorites. That reality, in addition to the fact that they’ll likely stroll to another Bundesliga title, make this jersey one of the best choices in addition to one of the best looking.

On the opposite end of the spectrum, Chelsea are struggling in the Premier League but still advanced to the Round of 16. While their form makes it hard to pick them, they still have an incredibly talented squad and one of the world’s top managers in their dugout. Their white away kit might not get much use in the Champions League, but it’s probably the best looking top Chelsea has this year. You still have enough of the classic blue to know which club your supporting, with the base of crisp white and some sharp-red highlights.

And if those two tops are too understated, there’s always Juventus’ away kit; it’s hard to miss a pink top–which is actually the club’s original home kit rather than the modern zebra stripes– with a red stripe and chunky Jeep logo on the chest. On the pitch, the Turin side is in the ascendency, too. As the runners-up in last year’s Champions League, they certainly have the talent to reach the final again. Gianluigi Buffon is a legend no matter his age, Juan Cuadrado, Alvaro Morata and Mario Mandzukic are world class attackers while Paul Pogba is one of the best young midfielders on the planet.

No matter what club you support, the biggest matches of the year are on the horizon. Make sure you’re geared up in time for them.
