PICS: The sleeves on Real Madrid’s new third kit are out of this bloody galaxy

Third strips are a chance for teams to get a little bit creative and the design force behind Real Madrid's new alternative iteration have done just that.

Ahead of the new La Liga season, leaked images have emerged of the third kit that will be sported by Cristiano Ronaldo & Co. While it's unlikely that we'll see it on any more than a handful of occasions over the next nine months, it will certainly be popular among supporters browsing the club store. Reliable football kit website FootyHeadlines have provided the below pictures of the new Real third kit and note that the remarkable sleeves were designed to pay tribute to the Plaza de Cibeles, the Madrid square at which the players celebrate any trophy triumphs. It's such a beaut that we reckon a few Barcelona fans may even risk wearing it behind closed doors.
