The first thing that meets the eye for AC Milan’s 25-26 potential away kit is the stylized devil logo. Named as Il Diavolo, it replaces the traditional club crest. The kit combines the club’s traditional away colours, black, red and white. The design was inspired by the club’s 1981-82 away shirt.

Adidas, as the kit sponsor of many teams, has done its job well this season. In our list of best kits of the 2025/26 season majority of the kits are backed by Adidas. One such kit is of Real Madrid's 3rd kit for the upcoming season, which have continued their trend of going for a vibrant colour each season. Previously, the club had an orange jersey, which has now been replaced with the new third kit in blue.

The USP of the kit is hidden on the backside of the jersey on which “90 MINUTI EN EL BERANBEU SON MOLTO LONGO” is written, which means the 90 minutes at the Bernabéu are very long. A small phrase that has been a motivating factor for the players in the last couple of seasons. The term also signifies Real Madrid's ability to come back from nowhere in the final minutes of crucial games.

8. FC Barcelona – Nike

Last season, Barcelona just didn't win the domestic treble, but also the title of best kit in 2024. Last year, the Catalan club seriously dropped some drip that instantly became a fan favourite. Not just one, but all the kits were considered top picks among all other kits. However, this season’s release has struggled to live up to those sky‑high expectations.

The Spanish giants and defending champions still managed to produce a kit that is nothing less than a boon for those who love a touch of tradition mixed with modern style. For the first time in 25 years, FC Barcelona has given space to a logo other than the main sponsors and club crest. The yellow jersey features a small Kobe Bryant logo near the chest, honoring his legacy. Additionally, the Kobe Bryant logo will serve as a metaphorical symbol for the Catalan players, as this will remind them of the 'Mamba Mentality'.

Nike has been a faithful servant of PSG. They have released multiple special kits for the club and have often collaborated with their own brands, like Air Jordan, to release limited-edition kits. This season, they have stuck to the roots and made a kit that echoes Paris’ ethos. The kit was leaked online thanks to a kit-themed backpack, and its authenticity was verified later on. PSG home kit for the 2025/26 season ranks third on our list of the best football jersey.

The jersey used a classic Hechter design with a ‘Midnight Navy’ colourway. It has red and white stripes on the jersey, along with the colours of the French national flag on the sleeves. The geometric pattern in the middle was inspired by the Eiffel Tower, and the overlapping V-shaped collar, which was a huge hit last season, was also retained. This layered jersey is such a drastic change from the simple kit of the previous season.

2. Manchester City – Puma

Puma, too, went down the route of throwbacks when they sat together to decide the jerseys of Manchester City for the 25/26 season. The iconic sash on the jersey was such an important piece of the history of Manchester City in the early 1970s. It was also a defining feature of the club. That feature was called back a few times in recent times, but it was always in the away jerseys. This stunning Man City home kit for the 25/26 is ranked second on our list of the best looking football jersey.

Puma decided to pay tribute to it and bring it back on the home jersey to introduce their history to a new generation of fans. The jersey looks absolutely clean with its simple sky blue colour having a sash painted with a brush running from too left to the midriff diagonally. This choice of not making the sash a simple straight line gives a sense of vibrancy to it, creating a sense of movement and dimension on the shirt.

1. Liverpool – Adidas

‘The worst-kept secret in football’ was the announcement line chosen by Adidas to let the world know that they were back with Liverpool FC. The iconic kit makers were associated with Liverpool during their most successful period in the 1980s. After a period in the wilderness, the two forces have joined hands again. They announced a new deal rumoured to be five years long, and the club is set to make £60 million per year.

Adidas wasted no time in showing off its admiration for the club by making a fantastic kit that was leaked online. The kit could easily be described as the club’s best football kits in over a decade. They decided to go with a ‘Strawberry Red’ colour with white logos. There is an absence of a collar and the inclusion of a debossed graphic. It is an ode to their iconic 2007 jersey. Adidas is rumoured to have used different crests for different jerseys of the club for this season.
