The limited-edition collection pays tribute to the Kingdom’s heritage, culture and progress, blending tradition with modern sportswear performance. The collaboration reflects a shared vision of honouring the past while embracing the future.
A Tribute to Saudi Heritage and Identity
The Founding Day kit, introduced under the concept “Designed for Pride,” draws inspiration from important cultural symbols that represent Saudi Arabia’s legacy.
Among the key design influences is the palm tree, a symbol of prosperity, resilience and growth in the desert. The marketplace is another central motif, reflecting trade, community and cultural exchange that have shaped the Kingdom’s economic and social development over generations.
By incorporating these elements, the collection tells a story rooted in history while highlighting ambition and forward momentum.

Johan Kuhlo, Managing Director of PUMA Middle East, described the kit as more than a jersey, calling it a statement of identity, heritage and progress. He emphasised that the partnership with Al Hilal celebrates Saudi Arabia’s foundations while showcasing the energy and ambition shaping its future.
