And just like that we are all looking towards the new season. Which in our world means just one thing,... NEW Football shirts!
This page will become your daily dose of hope when the season ends and we're all forced to enjoy, Cricket and Athletics for a couple of months.
Right, let's do this...
PSG 2025/26 Home Shirt Nike
The rich get richer. As if PSG weren't riding high enough, their new home kit is an instant classic perfectly blending the traditional Hechter with a brilliant architectural aesthetic.
Werder Bremen 2025/26 Third Shirt hummel
It turns out a copper accented kit was the thing we were missing most in our lives. Werder Bremen remain one of, if not, the marquee hummel team where the brand's very best is put forward.
Boca Juniors 2025/26 Home Shirt adidas
A good Boca Juniors home shirt is as close to a sure thing as you can get in kits, and yet the 25/26 home lands particularly well with it's darker than usual blue and the anniversary crest details. The unbroken yellow band across the adidas template is appreciated too.
FC St. Pauli 2025/26 Home Shirt Puma
The modern kit game has starved us of proper striped kits, but Puma and St. Pauli have swooped in to right those wrongs.
Palmeiras 2025 Club World Cup Shirt Puma x KidSuper
In short, the Puma x KidSuper kits for the Club World Cup are amazing. Palmeiras is one of our top picks, with it's vanilla base and elegant subliminal pattern.
Finland 2025/26 Home Shirt Nike
Finland are proof that you can still create a banger of a shirt without having a top tier deal with a brand. This may end up being one of the better international shirts of the year.
River Plate 2025/26 Away Shirt adidas
For the first time River Plate are serving up red and black stripes, instead of the usual red, white and black as seen on various alternate kits throughout the club's history. The change of pace is a welcome one.
V-Varen Nagasaki 2025 Peace Goalkeeper Shirt Fanatics
V-Varen Nagasaki's annual special edition kits are a hit each and every year. This year's goalkeeper kit for the team's upcoming 'peace' games stands out especially with its beautiful colour palette.
Cádiz 2025/26 Home Shirt Macron
Macron love an embossed pattern, and their handiwork for Cádiz has produced a sneakily strong shirt which will likely fly under most people's radars (but not yours, now).
Germany Anniversary Shirt adidas
If you're still coming to terms with the adidas x Germany divorce, this kit won't help. Germany's 125th anniversary shirt is a timeless piece which looks like it's been lifted straight out of Beckenbauer's locker room (with a few modern touches).
Arsenal 2025/26 Home Shirt adidas
This is a textbook home shirt from adidas. A subliminal pattern in the body of the shirt to add interest, some fresh but sensitive changes elsewhere including a monochrome crest. Arsenal have it so good on the kit front.
Real Betis 2025/26 Home Shirt hummel
The last time we saw stripes as thick as this for Betis was the 2006/07 season, so the choice is a welcome one from hummel who've yet to miss with a Betis home kit.
Marseille 2025/26 Home Shirt Puma
Puma have some great collars this year, and that means kits like Marseille's home are off to a good start. A history of club crests in the body of this shirt is a further intriguing detail.
Inter Milan 2025/26 Home Shirt Nike
There will be several traditional striped shirts that make this list, but if you're going to go down the progressive route do it like Inter Milan. The club continue to be one of the best when it comes to reinventing the stripes in creative ways.
Newcastle United 2025/26 Home Shirt adidas
The smart blue accents are rightly getting a lot of attention, but don't miss the houndstooth pattern that's framing the stripes here either. It's a brilliant way to add interest to the stripes without taking away from the look as many modern striped shirts have done.
Olympiacos Anniversary Shirt adidas
Not all anniversary shirts are created equal, but this is one of the good ones. The trefoil alone is making us feel all sorts of things.
FC Nürnberg Anniversary Shirt adidas
Ok, it's fair to say we have a type. Can you blame us though?
AC Milan 2025/26 Home Shirt Puma
Puma have found their groove with AC Milan, following up last year's solid home shirt with another great design. The monochrome crest is a risky choice, but the subliminal pattern lands without a doubt.
Borussia Dortmund 2025 Club World Cup Shirt Puma x KidSuper
Dortmund's Club World Cup kit is the definition of a marmite shirt, but the risk taking here from Puma is what we're all about. In fact, we're taking this over pretty much any Puma Dortmund home kit we've seen so far...
Porto 2025/26 Third Shirt New Balance
Sometimes a single detail can elevate a kit to top tier status, and that's exactly what's happened with Porto's 2025/26 third shirt. The shirt is great, but the inside collar detail is on another level.
Real Madrid 2025/26 Home Shirt adidas
As far as Real Madrid home kits go this is about as busy as they get. Between the gold piping, the dot pattern (an adidas feature rather than a bespoke one) and the grey panels there is is a lot to enjoy, especially if you are a Teamgeist enjoyer.
Celtic 2025/26 Home Shirt adidas
It's surprising that Celtic haven't ran with a tartan theme before, but their new shirt shoes how much we've been missing out.
Chelsea 2025/26 Home Shirt Nike
The 2019 Chelsea home shirt is all grown up now. This is another strong home shirt is what's shaping up to be a strong year for the Premier League kit wise.
Mamelodi Sundowns Club World Cup Shirt Puma x KidSuper
A new classic in the 'art as football shirt' genre, this Mamelodi Sundowns number boasts a pattern which looks as if it's lifted off the surface of the kit with its brushstrokes and details.
Servette 2025/26 Away Shirt adidas
Horizontal stripes on the new adidas template? It's an easy win for Servette.
Cambridge United 2025/26 Home Shirt Umbro
Cambridge United are starting off their post-rebrand era in the best possible way with a wonderful effort from the club and Umbro.
Olympique Lyonnais Anniversary Shirt adidas
It's a crime that we'll only be seeing this anniversary shirt (L) for one game. Having said that, Lyon would have done even better to release the lifestyle shirt (R) as a full-time match kit...
Calgary Wild 2025 Away Shirt hummel
The U.S. is a goldmine for great kits, and this Calgary Wild number lives us to its name with a summer-ready colour scheme and a standout pattern.
Porto 2025/26 Away Shirt New Balance
Salmon kits never really took off, but New Balance and Porto are doing their best to kick off a trend here.
Rangers 2025/26 Home Shirt Umbro
With last year's news that Castore had obtained the Umbro licence, we can expect to see a number of Castore sides 'switching' over to the double diamonds. Ultimately it's a good thing for kit fans.
Espérance de Tunis 2025/26 Home Shirt Kappa
Part of a brilliant trio of new kits, the 2025/26 Espérance de Tunis home boasts a tasty subliminal pattern (as with multiple kits on this list) within the club's classic red and yellow stripes. This is the kind of home shirt which will stand the test of time.
Juventus 2025/26 Home Shirt adidas
Barcode shirts can be a bit marmite and the new Juve kit pairs the bold look with distinctive pink accents. It's a lot to take in. You certainly can't accuse adidas of playing it safe.
Werder Bremen Diego Testimonial Shirt hummel
SV Werder Bremen and Hummel celebrate Diego’s farewell from professional football with a special Legend Jersey. The design, featuring green, white, and orange, is inspired by Werder’s iconic 2006/07 kit—marking Diego’s first memorable season with the club.
Málaga 2025/26 Home Shirt hummel
The kit industry continues to tell us that the 00s was a long time ago. This special edition shirt from Málaga and hummel is a tribute to the good old days of 2001, and in fairness it absolutely nails the aesthetic.
Porto 2025/26 Home Shirt New Balance
The thickness of the stripes of Porto home shirts tend to oscillate year to year, but it's the thicker style which is superior in our opinion. 2025/26 home might quietly be the best of the New Balance era.
Spurs 2025/26 Home Shirt Nike
We know what you're thinking, this is another dull Spurs home shirt right? Well, the centralised elements are a nice point of difference, and the introduction of the blue/grey panel (similar to the grey on the Real Madrid home) is a subtle but welcome addition.
Aston Villa 2025/26 Away Shirt adidas
The new adidas template looks great, which means the floor of higher tier adidas shirts (which will utilise the new construction) is high. Aston Villa are the beneficiaries here.
Real Madrid 2025/26 Away Shirt adidas
And we'll say it again: the latest adidas template is hitting all the right notes. Real Madrid's new away is the perfect foil to the home.
Manchester United 2025/26 Home Shirt adidas
Manchester United's 25/26 home had some all-timer potential, but the sleeve pattern here is too conservative for our tastes. Give us more contrast and now we're talking
Atlético Mineiro 2025/26 Blackout Shirt adidas
Blackout kits are the trend that refuses to die and this special edition shirt from Atlético Mineiro and adidas falls firmly into the trope. Interestingly though the shirt is exclusive for club members, adding significantly to its collectability.
