Unveiled just now, it looks like Macron#s design for the Millwall 20-21 third kit isn't as original as it might seam at first. In fact, there's a concept design from just over a year ago that has a very similar design.
Renowned concept creator @IL_Graphic created a design in August last year, also taking inspiration from the branding of Millwall main sponsor Huski Chocolate's branding. The resulting kit is extremely to what was just launched by Macron and the Sky-Bet Championship club.

¡FELICITACIONES! 🏆 pic.twitter.com/5wmHZO7XTu— Todo Sobre Camisetas (@EleteTSC) August 29, 2019Considering that the concept design received quite a bit of attention, including among Millwall supporters, we are almost certain that it did in fact inspire the new 2020-21 third kit.
"What's happening with Macron? Are they out of ideas?"
One thing is fore sure: Macron did not work together with @IL_Graphic on this. He just tweeted "What's happening Macron? Are they out of ideas?"

But what do you think? Did Macron copy this design or is it just a case of great minds thinking alike? And, most importantly, do you prefer the more subdued colors of the concept or Macron's rather garish shade of red? Comment below.
