Benfica’s new home and away kits give a new meaning to the beautiful game

There are some teams out there who just know what it takes to make a great kit.

In England, even if Southampton's new shirt is a bit divisive, you know you can always count on Spurs to keep it fairly stylish. But we all know that to find the truly great kits, you need to travel further abroad. Borussia Dortmund's new offerings are always a delight - even their away kits. Over in Italy, Juventus are known to throw together a slick away shirt while Roma are the undisputed kings of the Serie A fashion stakes. But with all the hoopla around the European Championships this summer, one of the best new kits of the upcoming season managed to fly under our radar. We hope you'll forgive us for taking so long to present Benfica's beautiful new offering for the year ahead. https://twitter.com/SLBenfica/status/751058528891207681 https://twitter.com/SLBenfica/status/748792055111880705 They may have lost Renato Sanches, but they've won our hearts with this stylish effort. To be honest, it's not often we watch the Portuguese Primeira Liga but we may have to declare our loyalty to Benfica if they keep putting out shirts like this. And we're not the only ones to feel this way. https://twitter.com/ShawnVizzy/status/749695461850767362 https://twitter.com/uhMip/status/748982557895716864 https://twitter.com/jbarros_23/status/748861476702720000 https://twitter.com/NireneGuiga/status/751070145934688256 https://twitter.com/Aleczandxr/status/749330604207050752 https://twitter.com/nicolasf1699/status/749295643408105472 https://twitter.com/ChristianG70/status/748885625953251328
