Sporting CP has released a stunning black and gold jersey that will serve as their third kit for this season.

The design will be honouring the Portuguese football legend Cristiano Ronaldo, who played his first professional match for the Lisbon-based side.

On the 20th anniversary of Ronaldo’s debut, which came on September 29, 2002, during a 4-2 loss against SC Braga, Sporting CP will be seen sporting the classic retro jersey for the upcoming season.

The special kit is modelled on the one that Ronaldo wore in his debut professional campaign.

The jersey will also have the words CR7 on the right. Sporting explained their new kit in a statement on the club’s official website: “Travel back in time with us to 2003. It’s the 6th of August. Imagine you are at the grand opening of the new Estadio Jose Alvalade. The referee is about to kick off the match against Manchester United FC… We’ve returned to this moment, recaptured the best of this day and the best of what is Made in Sporting.
