This season’s kits push bold colour blocking further than ever. Designers split shirts into dramatic colour zones, drawing inspiration from streetwear and 90s retro design. Look at the Netherlands’ tonal orange, France’s deep navy panels, and the latest experimental third kits across European clubs. The trend rewards confidence: these shirts look as striking off the pitch as on it.
Classic templates from the 80s and 90s are back in force. Adidas, Nike, and Puma have all released retro-inspired kits referencing iconic eras. Bold geometric patterns, oversized sponsor logos, and looser fits define the look. Read our retro jerseys guide for more.
Every major brand now offers jerseys made primarily from recycled polyester. The fabric performs identically to virgin polyester but uses recycled plastic bottles. For environmentally conscious fans, sustainability is no longer a niche option, it’s standard across most national team and club kits.
The opposite trend also runs strong: ultra-minimalist kits with tonal logos that almost disappear into the fabric. Real Madrid’s white-on-white branding and Juventus’s monochrome experiments are leading the look. Refined, understated, perfect for fans who prefer subtle statements.
Jerseys are now a streetwear staple. Pair with high-waisted denim, tailored joggers, or layered under jackets. The athleisure trend has fully embraced football kits, making them appropriate for almost any casual occasion. Shop the latest national team jerseys and club kits at elevenkick.
