The football team unveiled its kit for the 2015-16 season on Monday, revealing a new grey themed away shirt with neon yellow stripe.

To mark a new season under the new management of Rafael Benitez, the world famous club has gone for a white and grey theme for their 2015-16 season kit.

The team’s home kit is a clean white, with silver-grey stripe, while its away kit will come in the colour “silver glory”, Real Madrid announced in a statement on its website.

Inspiration comes from the team’s many trophies: “Grey takes centre stage on the away shirt thanks to the tone Silver Glory, with which Adidas aim to honour the colour of the trophies that Real Madrid have won throughout their history, as well as those that are still to come,” the team said in a statement.

RACISM

VIDEO: Spain’s La Liga reviews video of boy racially abusing Vinicius

Spain's La Liga on Monday said it was reviewing a video of a child making racist insults towards Real Madrid forward Vinicius Junior during the 2-2 draw with Valencia at the weekend.

“We’re in the process of studying and analysing the facts from a legal standpoint to see what we can and should do,” La Liga sources said.

In a video published by a journalist for ESPN Brasil, and picked up by Spanish media, a boy sitting in a woman’s lap can be heard calling Vinicius a “monkey”.

The Brazilian scored twice for Madrid as his team recovered from two goals down at Mestalla on Saturday.

Vinicius raised his fist in a “Black Power” salute after the first of his two goals at a ground where he was racially abused last season. Valencia subsequently banned three people from the stadium for life.

The 23-year-old has become a symbol of the fight against discrimination in Spanish football after suffering racist abuse on many occasions, and he was jeered repeatedly by home supporters on Saturday.

Jude Bellingham was sent off after the final whistle against Valencia for protesting after the referee blew the final whistle right before the England midfielder headed home what he thought was the winning goal.
