Atletico Madrid Third Football Shirt 1996/1997
The Atletico Madrid Third Football Shirt 1996/1997 is a standout retro-style football shirt from one of the club’s most recognisable 90s kit eras. Instead of the familiar red-and-white home identity, this third shirt uses a bold blue and white split design, finished with a lace-up collar and red Bandai branding across the chest.
Atletico Madrid Third Football Shirt 1996 style notes
This shirt has a strong visual identity from the first glance. The body is divided into blue and white panels, while the sleeves reverse the contrast for a more graphic look. In addition, the narrow vertical stripe detail through the centre gives the design a sharper match-shirt feel.
The lace-up collar adds one of the clearest 90s details. It gives the shirt a more archive-led character than many modern football tops, making it especially appealing for fans who want something with visible retro personality.

A third shirt with proper 90s character
This Atletico Madrid shirt sits apart from standard red-and-white club looks because it leans into contrast. The blue panel adds depth, while the white side keeps the design bright and wearable. As a result, it feels bold without becoming difficult to style.
It also has clear collector appeal. The Bandai sponsor, crest placement and collar shape all point towards a specific football era. Therefore, this is a strong option for buyers who prefer shirts with a recognisable period feel rather than a cleaner modern template.
Who this retro Atletico shirt suits
This design works well for Atletico Madrid supporters, La Liga shirt collectors and fans of 90s football style. It is also easy to wear casually. Pair it with jeans, relaxed trousers or shorts to let the blue and white split carry the outfit.
For match-day wear, the shirt offers a more alternative Atletico look. For everyday styling, the half-and-half design gives it enough visual impact to work as the main piece in a simple outfit.
How it stands apart from broader Atletico options
Many Atletico Madrid shirts are built around the club’s red-and-white identity. This third shirt takes a different route. It keeps the club connection clear through the crest, yet the blue and white colour split gives it a much more unusual archive look.
That makes it a useful choice for anyone who already owns classic home colours, or for buyers who want a retro Atletico Madrid football shirt with a bolder graphic finish.
Choose your size before ordering, especially if you plan to wear it as a casual top. You can check measurements with the Size Guide for Sports Shirts, then explore more football shirts at Bundle Street UK.
