Athens Kallithea FC 24/25

After debuting its 24/25 home shirt in a 1960s-inspired short film featuring Theopisti Pourliotopoulou earlier this month, Athens Kallithea FC is back with the reveal of their much-anticipated 24/25 away kit. Marking the club's return to Greece's top division after an 18-year hiatus, this Kappa-branded jersey pays homage to the team's roots, echoing the days when they earned the nickname "England" for their white shirts and navy shorts.

"We're constantly revisiting the club's history," said Ted Philipakos, the club's president and creative director. "It's a chance to honour our origins and draw meaningful inspiration for what we create today."

The 24/25 away shirt is a nod to that legacy, featuring a crisp white design with subtle debossed lines running across the fabric. An elegantly oversized collar adds a touch of vintage charm, while the club crest, Kappa’s retro logo, and the ΕΜΣΤ icon of the National Museum of Contemporary Art Athens are highlighted in the classic navy blue of Kallithea’s early days.

To celebrate the launch, the club enlisted photographer Ethan White to shoot the shirt on London model Aws Bob Fakhari at Latraac, Athens' renowned social skateboarding venue.

The 24/25 Athens Kallithea FC away shirt is now available for purchase on the club's webstore, offered in both short-sleeve and long-sleeve versions. Check out the new design in the campaign images below.
