#RacInternacional - Concept kits for Racing Club (ARG)

•

#RacInternacional

The #RacInternacional campaign is born to celebrate the many teams that share something in common with Argentine giants Racing Club - the name "Racing". Made by Kappa celebrating the #Semana35 of LaCasaca's #JuevesFantasy, this collection celebrates the history and locations of these 'brother clubs' in the world, whilst also keeping a small link to the Avellaneda side.

Racing Club de Lens - France

Turning aside from Lens' red due to the similarity to Independiente (Racing's rival), the design goes for one of the more classic colors of the club - black and green. The design is 'dirty' from 'coal dust' paying tribute to the mining origins of the club

#Outtake - More realistic edition (?) that respects logos being stamped on the kit

Racing Club Beirut - Lebanon

Inspired on Beirut's MIM Museum and the Lebanese deserts, the jersey is inspired on the many 'golden' achievements of Racing, as well as Kappa geometric-cubist style and 2006's checkered kit (tribute included in the Crazy socks)

Moodboard

Racing Club de Montevideo - Uruguay

The Uruguayan side's green inspires a design that is based upon one of the side's nicknames that carries a similar meaning to Racing Club's "La Academia" (the academy) - "La Escuelita" (the little school). With a 90's-esque pattern, the design is based upon a school's green chalkboard.

#Outtake - A design more linked to the Montevideo's side normal kits. The hooped design is nothing new for Racing, since a hooped design was launched in 2012

Real Racing Club de Santander - Spain

Rather literally, this iridescent design is inspired by Santander's stadium: "El Sardinero". This design is inspired by a sardine's scales, which keeps a rather literal bond to one of the original colors of Racing - Salmon

Racing Club de Strasbourg Alsace - France

Based on the shirt that RCS wore during its first Coupe de France win back in 1951, the shirt's pattern is based on the ancient Roman name of Strasbourg - "Argentoratum" - which keeps a striking similarity to "Argentina". This name, literally meaning "city by the river", inspires thus a water-inspired pattern with the light blue colors of Argentina. I added salmon accents to make the kit stand out even more, as well as to honor the original colors of Racing Club.
