Saudi Pro League club Al-Nassr released a new third kit on Thursday. Strangely enough, the promotional images do not include team leader Cristiano Ronaldo. Luckily, one X user did mock one up.

The colors for the logos are the most prominent figure on Al-Nassr’s new white third kit by Nike. The kit bears a similar style to Manchester City’s 2021/22 Puma away kit. That shirt was also white, featuring iridescent colors from blue to pink for the kit maker, club badge, and team sponsor. The Al-Nassr shirt is more turquoise and purple, but you can easily see the resemblance.
While Manchester City’s pure white kit alluded to water conservation, the Al-Nassr third shirt shines light on one of Saudi Arabia’s geological marvels — Mount Tuwaiq. Mount Tuwaiq in Saudi Arabia is a prominent cliff stretching over 1,970,000 feet in the Najd region. A graphic of the illustrious location “Bright As the Sun” takes prominence on the kit, while white shorts and socks complete the outfit.
Perhaps Al-Nassr’s new third shirt is the one Ronaldo and co will wear when they take on Messi’s Inter Miami in the Riyadh Season Cup early next year. Unlike some Saudi Pro League matches with record-low audiences, “The Last Dance” attendance will likely sell out.
