Next season is already shaping up to be a standout year not just on the pitch, but in the kit designs gracing stadiums across the world. With clubs pushing creative boundaries and kit providers blending tradition with innovation, the 25/26 away threads are anything but boring. We’ve rounded up the top 10 shirts that have turned our head this summer, so let’s get into it…
Honourable Mention – Arsenal x adidas Away
Shoutout to Arsenal. This kit didn't quite make it into our top 10, but that's not to say it isn't a stunning design. A touch of innovation. A splash of nostalgia. The perfect blend. I think it's fair to say the Arsenal and adidas partnership is at the very top of the game.
Venezia x Nocta Away
Now this, this is incredible. Nocta and Venezia have ticked every single box with this one. They've ticked boxes we didn't even know were there. This is the kind of shirt you'd want framed. So fresh, so clean – Outkast style. The perfect piece for a fit the streets would love. This is fashion x football at its finest.
Liverpool x adidas Away
The beginning of a new era. Liverpool x adidas is officially underway, and they have started exactly how the plan to go on – in style. Both home and away kits arrived with a piece of that 00's nostalgia, blended with the new chapter of Reds. The away kit long sleeve goes hard, no doubt about it. Watch out for this one, there's a strong chance it'll be terrorising your favourite team for 90 minutes this season.
Bayer Leverkusen x New Balance Away
A clear standout of the bunch. Bayer Leverkusen are heading into Bundesliga away days looking pretty in pink. And we love it. The soft colour palette, stunning gradient pattern, and effortless silhouette are all reasons we can't get enough of this shirt. Maybe not for everyone, but it's a beauty without a doubt.
Real Madrid x adidas Away
It's rare that a Los Blancos kit misses, and they continue the trend. A refined away look for 2025/26 sets Real up for another stylish season in La Liga. Adidas bring back that 00's feeling with the iconic Teamgeist kit template, one we will welcome back with open arms. No notes.
Red Star FC x Kappa Away
We had to throw this one in the list. One that might go under the radar on the pitch, but is sure to thrive on the streets. A disruptive graphic across the shirt gives this a unique look that we can't get enough of. Top it off with a fold-over collar and we are sold. Kappa never miss, that's a fact.
Tottenham Hotspur x Nike Away
This one was too clean to miss. Nike really got it right for Spurs's 25/26 away kit, dressing them in all-black on the road. Lilywhites turned dark. If this kit is anything to go by, a storm is brewing N17 and Thomas Frank is directing it straight from the center. This is due to be one of the cleanest looks in the Prem next season.
Atalanta x New Balance Away
Another New Balance masterpiece here. Moving away from the typical templates we see so often on kits to design a look that is frame worthy. Keeping tradition through the signature blues and blacks, turned innovative with a pristine white base and unique design. Chef's kiss.
Barcelona x Nike Away
Not only Culers will enjoy this one. This is for all sport fans. Nike dropped this kit as one of the biggest collabs we have ever seen in the game, crossing over into the basketball world to team up with NBA legend Kobe Bryant's own brand. Generational link up. One for the collection.
Cádiz FC x Macron Away
Another one to fly under the radar during the stampede of kit releases, where ceramic culture and cardinal identity meet in the middle for a stunning design. This shirt is the purest of love letters to local fans and culture, crafted with incredible detailing and design. Macron have been cooking this year and this is just another banger. Italian craft meets Spanish soul.
Oxford United x Macron Away
Now, this was one even we didn't expect to be here. Oxford, Macron, take a bow. This is taking the crown as the best kit in English football below the top flight, seriously bringing the heat to the championship. All black with those golden accents – just gorgeous.
