So finally I got my new Milan home jersey 2022/2023. It's the Fan Replica, mind you, not the Authentic one, because I think the Fan Replica is simply done with more love, more details. In fact, whenever I visited Casa Milan and compared the Replica to the Authentic, the former kinda felt more original than the latter
First impression: love it!
The last kit I bought was the 2020/2021 home kit. The fabric feels quite the same, it's still Pumas Dry Cell Technology, so no big differences here. Maybe this one feels a little bit thinner and lighter, but it's really hard to tell actually. I haven't been to Casa Milan since the Scudetto Party in Milan so I don't know how this kit feels compared to the Authentic one.
Stitched badge, not a sticker as in the Authentic one (that's what I mean with "more love"):
One slight difference to our last Scudetto: This time, the badge is actually a sticker. However it has a nice haptic feeling when you touch it, it's not flat flat, you know what I mean? This is btw not a Milan choice, I've seen the Inter kit with the badge last year, and the badge was the exact same sticker as it's here on the Milan kit. I think this design decision comes from the league.
Puma logo completely stitched:
Closer Look to the CL badge. I really don't like the new one with that weirdly colorful Uefa Foundation for children badge. Fucking UEFA. At least make it without distracting colors
My favorite detail: The sleeves. Very classy. If you're a bit pumped too they alin perfectly around your bizeps.
Name and nice detail over the name: "Sempre Milan"
Another impression. The white stitching here is not as visible in real life as on the photo as the camera of my smartphones captured the highlights way too aggressively (see the Scudetto badge).
Last impression, with the badge, and you can see here quite well too the haptic feeling of the Serie A badge I talked about above.
