Benfica - Avs kit on show at Estádio da Luz
The black kit was worn for the 23. ª jornada meeting with Aves SAD (also listed as AVS) at Estádio da Luz, a match Benfica won 3-0. Captain Otamendi broke the secrecy by posting Instagram stories that showed the back of the black shirt during benfica - avs.
Designed by Vhils, rooted in futebol de rua
Benfica’s new jersey was developed in collaboration with the Portuguese artist Alexandre Farto, known as Vhils, and ties directly to the club’s initiative celebrating futebol de rua. Under Vhils’s creative direction the kit incorporates visual elements inspired by his artistic language, including a fragment of the eagle’s wing worked with texture, depth and a sense of movement; the artist explained that he grew up where football and art shared the same street and that the shirt reflects football as a place of affirmation and identity.
Club secured marketing clearance two weeks earlier
The club requested permission from the marketing department of Liga Portugal two weeks before the match to debut the special kit against AVS in the 23. ª jornada. This season’s official Benfica equipment collection includes red, white and beige as the standard colours; the black jersey was introduced as a special piece within that campaign.
Special edition joins wider merchandise collection
The black jersey is part of a special edition that debuted on the pitch at Estádio da Luz in the 3-0 victory and is accompanied by a broader collection of garments such as sweatshirts, jogging pants and t-shirts.
