The pink contrast was rather controversial at the time. But has since been used on several occasions and the controversy has faded. Shirt design has become rather varied and few taboos are left.

James Rodriguez’s Impactful Stint at Real Madrid (2014-2017):
James Rodriguez, the Colombian sensation, made a marquee move to Real Madrid in the summer of 2014, following an outstanding performance in the FIFA World Cup. The transfer, valued at around €75 million, was a record-breaking deal at the time.
During his three-season tenure with Los Blancos, from 2014 to 2017, James Rodriguez became an integral part of the squad, contributing with his exceptional skills and flair. His first season with Real Madrid was particularly noteworthy, as he showcased his goal-scoring abilities and creativity, earning the adoration of fans and fellow players alike.
Despite his initial success, James faced increased competition in subsequent seasons, leading to loan spells in the Bundesliga. He spent the 2017-2018 and 2018-2019 seasons on loan with Bayern Munich, where he continued to impress with his performances.
In July 2019, James Rodriguez joined another Serie A club, Napoli, on loan for the 2019-2020 season. Following the conclusion of his loan spell, he returned to Real Madrid in 2020 but did not secure a regular spot in the starting XI.
In September 2020, James Rodriguez made a permanent move away from Real Madrid, signing with Everton in the English Premier League. His departure marked the end of a captivating chapter in Real Madrid’s history.
Before donning the iconic white jersey of Real Madrid, James Rodriguez played for AS Monaco in Ligue 1, where his standout performances earned him the attention that eventually led to his high-profile move to the Santiago Bernabéu.
