Real Racing Club de Santander’s new partnership with Spanish label Pompeii has produced a limited edition kit that honors the club’s 112-year story. Founded in 1913 by a group of friends at the Sonderklass bar on Paseo de Pereda, Racing carries a legacy shaped by challenges, victories, and a deep bond with its fans. This commemorative shirt, designed by Pompeii and Austral, aims to highlight the club’s resilience and unity with the people of Santander.
The shirt’s design draws inspiration from Racing’s roots, with a white base accented by black and green pinstripes. A fold-over collar in green, matching the sleeve cuffs, recalls vintage football aesthetics. A golden 112th-anniversary emblem is stitched at the V-neck and at the top of the back, infusing the jersey with a sense of tradition.
Racing’s crest and the Pompeii logo appear side by side on the chest, standing as symbols of history and forward-thinking style. Only 1,112 shirts will be sold to the public. Talk about exclusive!
A nod to Racing’s heritage
Pompeii may be known for footwear, but it is rapidly leaving its imprint on the football world. Pompeii has earned praise for its design vision, from its collaborations with Kappa to a memorable project with AD Ceuta FC. Now, that spirit continues with Racing’s special release. “This jersey is a heartfelt tribute to the thousands and thousands of Racing fans who have brought us here,” writes the brand.
The significance of El Sardinero, the club’s home, is woven into every thread of this shirt. It’s not just about aesthetics. It’s about giving back to supporters who have weathered ups and downs with unwavering loyalty. The club’s statement echoes that sentiment: “Thanks for letting us wear your history.”
It’s no small feat to encapsulate more than a century of highs and lows in a single garment, yet this kit delivers a powerful nod to all Real Racing Club represents. The Pompeii x Real Racing Club Anniversary Kit is now available on Pompeii’s official website for those who want a piece of this stunner.
