This black variant of the AC Milan 1997–98 jersey, produced by Lotto, delivers a striking reinterpretation of the club's classic away kit with a darker, more commanding tone. It retains all the core visual elements of its white counterpart while amplifying the intensity through a sleek and shadowed palette.
 
The base fabric is a deep black jacquard, woven with repeating AC Milan crests that provide depth and texture without overwhelming the eye. Lightning bolt graphics on the sleeves remain in bold red and white, creating sharp contrast and kinetic energy that reflects the club’s aggressive style of the era.
 
The collar structure mirrors the white edition, with a ribbed V-insert framed by a double-striped fold-over collar in red and black. The Lotto and Opel branding is printed in stark white, achieving high legibility and reinforcing the shirt’s visual clarity.
 
The AC Milan badge, complete with the golden star above it, is embroidered with precise craftsmanship. The overall silhouette is clean and sharp, exuding a modern edge for its time while staying faithful to the traditional aesthetic.
 
This shirt successfully transforms a celebratory design into a more combative, assertive variant — ideal for away battles or evening matches under floodlights, where its dark tone and electric sleeve graphics make a bold statement.
