AC Milan have spent the better part of the past 125 years as one of world football’s elite clubs. The Italian giants have won 19 Serie A titles, seven UEFA Champions League titles, three Intercontinental Cups, and one FIFA Club World Cup.
The club has boasted legendary players such as Paolo Maldini, Franco Baresi, Marco van Basten, Ruud Gullit, Kaká, Andriy Shevchenko, Juan Alberto Schiaffino, and Roberto Donadoni. Today, Milan holds a special place in the hearts of United States men’s national team fans, as it is home to Christian Pulisic and Yunus Musah.
Milan’s iconic red and black striped home kit is not only elegant, but has commanded the respect of the entire footballing world. From adidas to PUMA, Lotto to Kappa, and from Opel to Motta, AC Milan has had some of the most iconic kits and sponsors in recent memory. Here are their top 10 kits of all time.
10. 1950-51 Home
It was the 1950s, and football kits were simple and elegant. With a red and black striped pattern and drawstring collar, this kit was a sign of its time, yet still looks good over 70 years later.
9. 2006-07 Away
AC Milan won their last UEFA Champions League wearing an elegant white kit in a classic adidas Teamgeist template design. The Rossoneri wiped away the disappointment of losing to Liverpool two seasons prior with a 2-1 win. While the triumph is enough to put this kit into the all-time ranks alone, its clean design serves as a major bonus as well.
8. 1999-00 Centennial
You only turn 100 once, and AC Milan and adidas released an elegant, thin-striped centennial kit, complete with a classic crest that featured a star inside. It’s a design that manages to look classic and modern at the same time, a rare feat.
7. 2013-14 Home
While Milan may not have been at their best during this period, they certainly looked fantastic. This gold-striped number from adidas was a memorable shirt from a stretch most Milan fans choose to forget about.
6. 1995-96 Fourth
Still with their classic Opel sponsor, Lotto created a different, yet strangely appealing fourth kit. It represented one of the only times that Milan went with a blue shirt, a shade usually reserved for their crosstown rivals. It’s a quintessential ’90s design, complete with a baggy fit, gradients, and geometric patterns.
5. 1997-98 Goalkeeper
Stylish, different, and edgy. This goalkeeper kit was exceptional and has remained a cult classic. While the opposing team feared Milan’s attack, their goalkeepers looked just as stylish.
4. 1987-89 Home
Kappa’s elegant home kit in the late 1980s became a staple of Milan’s style. With great players like Marco van Basten and Ruud Gullit leading the charge during championship-winning seasons, this kit has become a collector’s item.
3. 1992-93 Away
The white Motta-sponsored kit is one of the finest and most elegant Milan kits from that era. With the Scudetto badge over the star and the red and black horizontal lines near the chest, Milan looked stunning in their traditional all-white kits.
2. 2024-25 125th Anniversary
AC Milan’s elegant throwback anniversary kit, released by PUMA this season, captures the elegance and tradition of one of Italy’s greatest clubs. Featuring a retro design with the club’s original logo used from 1899 to 1916, the solid stripes and collar make this kit a must-have for all Milan supporters.
1. 1994-1998 Home
When AC Milan wore their Lotto home kit in the mid-1990s, they were undoubtedly the best and most feared soccer team in the world. With classic yet elegant red and black stripes, white shorts, and their iconic Opel sponsor, this was AC Milan at the height of their global recognition.
