PUMA are paying tribute to one of football’s eternal icons with the release of a special-edition black and gold Portugal kit. The stunning, stealth kit acts as a modern ode to Seleção das Quinas legend Eusébio da Silva Ferreira, taking inspiration from his ‘Pantera Negra’ nickname.
Sixty years on from Eusébio’s historic Ballon d’Or triumph, the legend’s shadow still looms over the game. PUMA are resurrecting the beauty this legend brought to the beautiful game.
There was only one Eusébio. He was untouchable. The star of Portugal long before Cristiano Ronaldo came along. The original PUMA King was born from his brilliance and built for the man himself. Now, six decades later, that same energy returns, reimagined for a new era.
The special-edition shirt comes as part of a collection which is as sleek and premium as it gets. Dressed in a stealth black finessed with gold detailing, each piece embodies legacy and dominance. A visual echo of the fear and awe the Pantera Negra inspired every time he stepped on the pitch.
The limited-edition kit, with just 1965 pieces worldwide nodding to the year of his Ballon d’Or win, arrives with the number 13 on both the front and back. A shirt number that defined his story. And the details don’t stop there. The glided PUMA cat, the gold FPF crest, the precision knit collar and cuffs. And who could miss the subtle ‘Pantera Negra’ sign off inside the neckline. It’s a modern masterpiece.
Not only is this shirt truly a beauty, but it’s also a symbol. Where Portugal’s golden past meets the pulse of their present. The kit is set to be worn once by the national team in Porto on 16 November when they play against Armenia.
