Explained: Why USMNT star Christian Pulisic & AC Milan are wearing special shirts in 2023-24 Champions League

<p>The Rossoneri are readying themselves for <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/champions-league-2023-24-power-rankings/blt3ac63471089224b7" target="_blank">another European campaign</a>, with United States internationals <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/christian-pulisic-dutch-italian-still-be-at-chelsea-usmnt-stars-england-good-every-day-man-utd-everton-tim-howard/blt5e0e72c2ac4a09b9" target="_blank">Pulisic and Yunus Musah among those to have been added to their ranks</a> during the summer transfer window.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>As a team from <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/ac-milan-europe-masters-moneyball-destined-to-fail/blt984a0d51702e6c9d" target="_blank">one of the most fashionable cities in the world</a>, it comes as no surprise to find that the Serie A giants intend to look stylish when turning out in continental competition. They are also embracing the retro theme that has become so popular in modern culture.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Having won the Champions League back in 2003, when edging out Juventus in a dramatic final penalty shootout at Old Trafford, Milan will be paying homage to that triumph in their shirt designs this season. They have said: “To celebrate the 20th anniversary of the 2002/03 Champions League victory, AC Milan is pleased to present a new special font which this season will accompany Stefano Pioli 's team on all the club's European nights.”</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>The special design will feature numbers with perforated edges, which offer a nod to the 2003 kit, while the names and numbers are set to be printed in white – rather than the black font which is used in domestic matches. Milan’s throwback styling will get a first outing on Tuesday when they <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/dropped-usmnt-christian-pulisic-benched-ac-milan-champions-league-newcastle/bltcbe41e38431eaa54" target="_blank">play host to Premier League side Newcastle</a> in the opening round of fixtures in Group F.</p>
