Messi models Inter Miami’s new 2024 jersey during cruise ship reveal

Lionel Messi will have some new threads to wear on the pitch for the 2024 MLS season.

It may take some fans time to get used to the new look after Messi made Inter Miami’s jerseys iconic worldwide after joining the club in July.

So long, XBTO — the crypto-finance company that had graced the front of Inter Miami’s jerseys since 2021. The new jersey has the Adidas logo in the upper left corner, Inter Miami’s club logo in the upper right corner, and the Royal Caribbean logo (a crown sitting on an anchor) in the middle of the team’s new jersey.

The black kit, titled ‘La Noche,’ features bright pink logos.

Down the collarbone, the new black jerseys house three pink stripes which stop midway to the sleeves. When play begins, the sleeves who will feature two sponsors that remain on the jersey: Apple TV and Fracht Group.

The jersey shorts are mostly the same from last season: A large number on the left leg above an Adidas logo, with Inter Miami’s logo on the lower corner down the right leg.

Inter Miami wore the black XBTO jersey just once during the 2023 season after Messi’s arrival, for the regular-season finale in Charlotte. The club also wore black jerseys for the first two preseason matches this month against El Salvador and FC Dallas, where Inter Miami’s foundation logo was front and center.
