Crafted With Culture: UD Almería & Macron Unveil Stunning 25/26 Away Shirt

Weeks after announcing their new multi-year partnership, Macron and Unión Deportiva Almería officially present the club’s new Away shirt for the 25/26 season.

Fresh off the back of dropping a striking home strip, UD Almería keep the momentum rolling into the 2025/26 season with the reveal of their new away shirt — a cultured collab with Macron that dives deep into the club’s Andalusian roots. With ceramic tradition flowing through its veins, the away jersey is more than just a kit — it's a tribute to Almería’s artistic soul.

The new look leans hard into local heritage, drawing direct inspiration from the rich legacy of ceramic craftsmanship found across the region. Designed in Bologna, crafted for Almería — the shirt features a sublimated floral and geometric motif, echoing the intricate designs found on centuries-old ceramic plates produced in artisan workshops dotted throughout the province.

Drenched in meaning and delivered with class, the away kit combines navy blue sleeves and shoulders with a body that dances in subtle graphic detailing. A sky blue band cuts through the chest, bordered by fine golden yellow pinstripes — colours that also cap the sleeve ends and collar, tying the design together with a refined finish.

Adding depth, the same traditional pattern is picked out in an embossed graphic across the sleeves and shoulders, adding texture and movement to a shirt that’s as much about storytelling as it is about performance.

Up top, the Macron Hero sits proud on the right of the chest, opposite the UD Almería crest on the left, both rendered in navy. Flip the shirt inside and the detailing doesn’t stop — the backneck houses the club’s colours, crest, Macron branding, and the signature “Designed in Bologna” stamp, underscoring the Italian brand’s craftsmanship credentials.

Shot on location in the historic ceramic village of Níjar, the shirt’s launch was more than a backdrop — it was a celebration of identity. This is a jersey that brings tradition to the pitch, where culture and sport collide with purpose.

From the workshops of Níjar to the stadium lights of the Power Horse, Almería’s away strip for 25/26 is built on legacy. It’s wearable art — and it’s made to be seen.
