Exactly a year after sealing their game-changing partnership with Nike, F.C. Como Women step out on the shores of Lake Como to unveil their 2025/26 home and away kits — a release that feels less like a kit launch and more like a mission statement.
Dubbed The Next Wave, the campaign folds football into fashion, culture, and the club’s own fiercely independent DNA. Shot against the cinematic backdrop of Villa Pizzo, the Luisita café, and rarely seen corners of the lakeside, it’s a love letter to the region — and a rallying cry for the future of women’s football.
The new shirts are a refined twist on a timeless look: vertical black and white stripes, clean-lined and balanced in tone. Both home and away iterations hold to the same design language — a nod to tradition, filtered through a forward-looking lens. Nike’s tailoring brings high-spec performance fabrics together with minimalist detailing, letting the club’s identity do the talking.
“We are not anyone’s women’s team. We are F.C. Como Women. And this jersey tells our story,” says midfielder Nadine Nischler, who fronts the campaign alongside Australian international Alexandra Chidiac, captain Giulia Rizzon, Katja Schroffenegger, Ramona Petzelberger, Astrid Gilardi, Liucija Vaitukaitytė, and Zara Kramzar. Academy players, fans, and long-time community figures share the spotlight, embodying the all-inclusivity of The Next Wave.
That phrase isn’t just branding — it’s a manifesto. One of the few truly independent women’s clubs in Europe, Como Women are building a football model that exists outside the orbit of men’s teams. “This is a club that does not live in the shadow of men,” Chidiac states plainly. Backed by Mercury 13 — the pioneering multi-club group investing solely in women’s football — the vision is clear: autonomy, ambition, and impact.
Nicola Verdun, CEO of F.C. Como Women, frames it as something bigger than sport: “This alliance is not just a technical agreement: it’s the sharing of a vision. Together with Nike, we aim to build a different model: more independent, more inclusive, capable of inspiring real change, on and off the field.”
The on-pitch debut is set for August 14 at Milan’s historic Arena Civica, in the opening match of The Women’s Cup against Juventus — a high-profile stage for a kit that already feels iconic.
From the lakeside to the global stage, Como Women aren’t just wearing their colours — they’re riding the wave they’ve created.
The Como Women 25/26 kits are available at select Nike stores (Nike Corso Vittorio Emanuele and Nike Arese) and online at comowomen.com
