Best 2025/26 Football Shirts Released So Far – Our Top Picks

The new season means new kits—and the 2025/26 drops haven’t disappointed. At Mystique Jerseys, we love a good shirt design, and some of the early confirmed releases this year have set the bar high. From Premier League classics to international head-turners, here are our top picks—no leaks, no fakes, just confirmed football shirt releases as of July 24, 2025.

Arsenal – A Mix of Tradition and Innovation

Home: Classic red and white with a refined crest pattern that nods to club history. Timeless and clean, this one will age well.


Away: Deep blue with lightning bolt visuals and bold red detailing. A modern take on retro energy that fans are already loving.

Manchester City – Sash Style Returns

The sky blues return with a standout home kit featuring a diagonal sash. It’s a nod to their 70s roots, with a modern twist that fits their current dominance on and off the pitch.


Fiorentina – Class from Florence

Kappa’s design for Fiorentina this season blends rich purple tones with gold trim and Renaissance-inspired detailing. Italian football shirts rarely miss, and this one’s another stunner.


Bayern Munich – Back to Basics

The 2025/26 home shirt returns to a bold all-red look with subtle Bavarian diamond textures and white accents. It’s simple, powerful, and unmistakably Bayern.


Chelsea – Royal Blue Reinvented

Nike keeps it classic but refined. Royal blue with white and red trim, subtle textured patterns inspired by London’s architecture, and a smart collar design. A strong, clean look for the Blues.

Crystal Palace – Retro Pinstripe Perfection

A modern refresh of a vintage idea. The new home kit features elegant white pinstripes over a navy and blue base. Sleek, wearable, and one of Palace’s best in recent years.

AS Roma – Minimalism with Heritage

Roma’s third kit takes a fresh approach: white base, green collar, and gold trim, with the ASR trigram crest. Designed with botanical inspiration, it’s clean, elegant, and uniquely Roman.

Barcelona – Celebrating 125 Years

Barcelona’s anniversary home shirt keeps things traditional but polished. Red and blue verticals, gold accents, and a crest that honours their founding history. One of the strongest commemorative kits in years.

Galatasaray – Champions’ Look

Puma delivers with a bold red and yellow split and updated sleeve detailing to mark Gala’s five-star legacy. The home and away shirts both carry strong Istanbul identity and passion.

Forest Green Rovers – Making Noise

They’ve done it again. A luminous yellow and pink leopard print shirt that’s 100% vegan and fully recyclable. Love it or hate it, Forest Green’s home kit is pushing boundaries—and starting conversations.

Sunderland – A Seaside Statement

The new away shirt is navy with maritime design cues and “City by the Sea” stitched into the fabric. It also features a one-off badge variation, tying in pride of place with a sharp, wearable look.
