AC Milan’s home jersey for 2008/09 stayed true to the club’s tradition with bold red and black vertical stripes, though the black stripes were slightly wider than the red, giving a more dominant dark look. The shirt had a fold-over black collar with a red inner trim and featured the Adidas three white stripes running down the shoulders. The bwin sponsor logo appeared in white across the chest, standing out against the darker background. The sleeves were mainly black with red striping near the cuffs. Black shorts with red detailing and black socks with a red band at the top completed the kit. This kit was worn by stars like Paolo Maldini in his farewell season, as well as Kaká, Ronaldinho, and Andrea Pirlo, in a campaign where Milan finished third in Serie A.
