adidas & Nottingham Forest Present Clean Away Kit For 2025/26

For the 2025/26 season, Nottingham Forest will carry a piece of the city's rich heritage onto the pitch with them as adidas draw inspiration from one of Nott’s most famous exports for a clean new away kit.

Nottingham Forest and adidas have just unveiled a new away look brimming with heritage and identity for next season. Just a short journey from the iconic City Ground lies the historic Lace Market, a distract that was bouncing with life during the 19th century as the beating heart of the world’s lace industry. Now, the red brick warehouses and intricate Victorian designs play host to a different kind of creativity, design studios, bars & restaurants, and cultural hubs. But the soul of Nottingham lace endures and now is threaded into the very fabric of Forest’s new away look.

This shirt is one of the cleanest looks of the season. A soft off-white base acts as the canvas, whilst the detailing is really what catches the eye. An embossed pattern blends two symbols of Forest identity, featuring the iconic club crest fused with the postcode of the iconic home stadium. Woven together, they form a bespoke design that perfectly balances aesthetics with pride. Forest through and through. Celebrating the rich lace legacy of the city, two lace-inspired hems frame the whole design around the shoulders and sides of the piece. Front and center sits the logo Forest’s new shirt sponsor, Bally’s, marking the beginning of another chapter. And can we just say, that sponsor perfectly completes the look. The definition of a sponsor looking good on a kit.

Nottingham Forest and adidas are building up quite the lookbook for this season. Home and away kits complete, third incoming...
