And the new jersey – made from recycled materials – boasts a new colour scheme, with blue and orange replacing the traditional gold.

The adidas logo stands out in a vivid shade of orange, while Fly Emirates is splashed across the midriff in a bright blue.

The iconic adidas stripes spread across the shoulders in the same blue, while the neckline is both blue and orange.

Real Madrid have revealed the slogan for the new shirt is ‘This Is Greatness’.

It also boasts subtle nods to the Bernabeu stadium and the Madrid community in general.

The spiral graphic on the jersey is even a nod to the Cibeles Fountain – famously were Los Blancos fans converge to celebrate triumphs.

On their website, Real Madrid explained: “The design of the strip reflects the spirit and sense of togetherness within the club, along with the fans, under the slogan ‘This Is Greatness’ and features references to the Santiago Bernabeu.

“The design of the jersey symbolises the madridista community, which is represented by a subtle spiral graphic that is inspired by the Cibeles Fountain, where supporters meet to celebrate the club’s trophy triumphs.”

Real Madrid used Eden Hazard as a model for the new strip, suggesting the injury-prone star could stay, despite rumours saying he wants to leave.

Hazard has seen his game-time sorely limited since joining from Chelsea in a deal worth up to £150million in the summer of 2019.

The Belgian, 30, has been linked with a return to the Blues to get his career back on track.

But Hazard himself has quashed the gossip, saying: “I still have a three-year contract with Real Madrid, so going back to England is out of the question.

“Everyone knows that my first two years were not good, so first I want to prove myself at Real Madrid. I will do everything to do that.

“I certainly don’t see myself leaving Madrid, given the contract situation.

“I know myself and I know when I’m in shape. If that’s the case, I can give it my all for Real next season. That’s my plan.”
