Panathinaikos launched a centenary football shirt made by Adidas to celebrate the club's 100th birthday.
The club was founded in 1908 as POA (Podosferikos Omilos Athinon), the Football Club of Athens, when George Kalafatis and a number of athletes decided to break away from their athletic club, Panellinios GS, and form a new club which would be dedicated to football.
The crest and colours were first used by the club in 1919 when player Michalis Papazoglou, a Constantinopolitan, proposed that the club adopt the colour green with a shamrock (three-leafed clover) as an emblem, as used by his Chalcedon-based former club of Chalkidona. The shirt colours are green and white and has no adidas stripes on the sleeves.
