DESIGN DETAILS
The blue and white of Zenit’s home kit comes from the original factory team’s flag. The dark blue accent on the collar was inspired by the historic 1950 jersey worn in the opening match of Zenit’s former Kirov Stadium. A gold star accompanies the newest version of the club’s crest, symbolizing their 5th national championship.

Zenit received their greatest international success winning their first cup in 2008—just the second Russian team to do so.
