Balenciaga 24SS Soccer Jersey Paris No.10 Crest Print Short Sleeve Tee – Black
Balenciaga — 24SS Soccer Jersey Paris No.10 Crest Print Short Sleeve Tee | Black
Balenciaga's Spring/Summer 2024 collection draws extensively on the visual language of European football culture — the club jersey as a garment form, the crest as a heraldic mark, the squad number as a typographic element — and this black short-sleeve piece is the collection's most complete expression of that reference. The construction is a football jersey silhouette: a relaxed, slightly oversized fit in a smooth, performance-adjacent fabric, with white reflective piping running along the shoulder seams and side panels in the structural line pattern of a professional football kit. The piping is the piece's primary construction detail — the white lines tracing the shoulder and side seam in a continuous path from front to back, the reflective quality of the piping giving the jersey a technical, high-visibility quality that references both football kit construction and Balenciaga's ongoing engagement with retroreflective materials.
The front carries four distinct house and graphic elements. At the left chest, the standard Balenciaga badge: the italic "b" lettermark above and "balenciaga" lowercase wordmark below in white — the house's established two-element badge format in the sponsor/club-badge position of a standard football jersey. At the right chest, a red circular club crest — a red ground carrying a gold crown, a Chinese character (永), and decorative heraldic ornament in the format of a European football club badge, the crest's red-and-gold palette and formal heraldic structure reading as a fictional club identity that Balenciaga has constructed for this collection. At the front centre chest, the primary sponsor panel: a large italic "b" lettermark above and "balenciaga" lowercase wordmark below in white — the house name occupying the shirt-front sponsor position that a commercial sponsor would occupy on a professional kit, Balenciaga here sponsoring its own jersey. At the front lower right hem, a small "BBalenciaga" text print in white — a secondary house mark in the kit-manufacturer or secondary-sponsor position.
The back carries the piece's most legible football reference: "PARIS" in large white uppercase at the upper back — the player name position on a professional jersey — and "10" in a large white squad number typeface below — the squad number position. "PARIS" as the player name and "10" as the squad number construct a fictional player identity: the number 10 is the most iconic and most loaded squad number in football, associated with the team's most creative and most celebrated player (Pelé, Maradona, Zidane, Ronaldinho), and "PARIS" as the name places the jersey in the context of Balenciaga's home city and the broader cultural geography of European football. The white piping continues across the back shoulders and side panels, completing the jersey's structural line pattern.

Styling Notes
The black base, white reflective piping, and full football jersey graphic system make this the most culturally specific and graphically complete piece in the Balenciaga 24SS lineup. The jersey reads as a complete football kit from a distance — the piping, crest, sponsor panel, and back name/number constructing a coherent fictional club identity — and rewards close inspection of the individual elements: the red crest's heraldic detail, the "BBalenciaga" hem mark, and the reflective quality of the piping. Wear with slim black or dark denim, tailored shorts, or wide-leg cargo pants. The all-black base and white graphic system pair with every tone in a considered wardrobe. Finish with Balenciaga Triple S, Track, or Speed Runner sneakers. The reflective piping activates under flash photography or direct light, giving the jersey a dual-register quality between daylight and low-light contexts.
