Champions League 2014/15

[aupaathletic-blog]

  Captain Gurpegui, Olabarrierta from the women's side, Iago, Muniain and Laporte modeled our home, away, and keeper kits. The kit seen on Olabarrieta is clearly for the women's side and the kit on Gurpegui, will be seen during Champion's League play. Which sports the bank, BBK (BIlbao Bizkaia Kutxa) as the main sponsor. 

We hope these kits can give both l@s leon@s luck this season!
