One of the standout features is the return of the Asian cheetah watermark, a symbol strongly associated with Iranian football in recent years and widely regarded as a tribute to the endangered species native to the region.
The sleeves feature subtle patterns inspired by animal-skin textures, while the edges are accented with the colours of the Iranian national flag. Red player numbers and logos further enhance the overall design.
