Monterrey’s custom away kit for the Club World Cup is a KidSuper creation that comes with a cloudy watercolor wash in light blues and whites that are inspired by the peaks of Mexico’s Sierra Madre mountains. Daubs of paint in the colors of the Mexican flag have also been allowed to trickle down from the collar, adding a delightful pop.
37. Benfica — Portugal (Away, Adidas)
Benfica’s away jersey is effectively a color-inverted mirror image of the home strip, with a slightly creamy white base and red and white detailing used to create yet another relatively pedestrian design. There is a fine checkerboard pattern woven into the fabric, which does at least offer some additional texture.
36. Inter Milan — Italy (Away , Nike)
There’s something distinctly medical about Inter’s new away kit, which features pale lilac, misty grey and mint green crosses tumbling over a white background. Looks like a brochure produced by your local pharmacist to promote good gut health and general well-being.
35. LAFC — United States (Away , Adidas)
Launched in February, LAFC’s pristine away kit is white and gold as a nod to the colors worn by the club during its inaugural MLS season back in 2018. Additional detailing sees delicate laurel wreaths added to the polo-style collar and slightly paler gold panels added beneath the arms.
34. Flamengo — Brazil (Away , Adidas)
The Mengão ‘s 2025 away kit is largely white, though the real conceptual detailing can be found on the sleeves. The feathered graphic is supposed to resemble the wings of a vulture in flight, which has been the club’s symbolic mascot since the 1960s. Indeed, their training ground and youth team headquarters is called Ninho do Urubu, which translates from Portuguese as “The Vulture’s Nest.”
33. Red Bull Salzburg — Austria (Away , Puma)
Much less ugly than the home shirt, Salzburg’s new away kit is positively muted in comparison yet still features a distinctive blue collage-style print made up of swatches of alpine landscape and sites of historical interest, such as the medieval Hohensalzburg fortress and the lavish Prunksaal state hall.
By chucking in design elements from several old home kits to create something new, Bayern have drummed up a true Frankenstein’s monster of a jersey for 2025-26. While nothing remotely gels about the jersey design, the giant “M” graphic on the front gives the wearer the appearance of having a large white beard — which is faintly amusing but probably not the desired effect that Adidas were after.
31. Benfica — Portugal (Home , Adidas)
There’s never much variation when it comes to the Benfica home shirt but the latest incarnation for 2025-26 is a decent if unspectacular iteration. Red is, of course, the primary color with flecks of black and white trim used to pad out the design.
30. Porto — Portugal (Home , New Balance)
Like their big Portuguese rivals, there’s not an awful lot to differentiate Porto’s 2025-26 home shirt from every single other one the club has ever worn. Their standard blue-and-white-striped arrangement was not tinkered with in any notable way other than the New Balance badge being gold to mark the 10th year of the kit manufacturer’s partnership with the two-time European champions.
Juventus have made a habit of favoring pink trim over the past five or so years, and their 2025-26 jersey once again sees a rosy tinge added to their familiar black-and-white stripes. Rather than uniform bars, the club have opted for an asymmetrical “barcode” formation, though unfortunately, style points must be knocked off for the heinous double sponsor splashed right across the front.
28. Palmeiras — Brazil (Home , Puma)
Palmeiras are hoping to use the club’s 1951 Copa Rio title as inspiration for the upcoming Club World Cup and as such have created a batch of new kits inspired by their first foray into intercontinental club competition. The result is a retro kit in green and white (naturally), featuring a massively oversized V-neck collar and cuffs as well as a subtle jacquard pattern in the fabric that contains a dozen stars in reference to the Brazilian side’s 12 league titles.
Chelsea’s new home kit for 2025-26 is inspired by their own corner of West London, with digitally scanned swatches of local civic architecture used to create the angular graphic imbued into the fabric. Other than that, it’s basically just a plain blue football shirt with neat red and white taping under the arms.
26. Atlético Madrid — Spain (Away, Nike)
A throwback to the fans’ favorite away kit of 2005-06, Atleti’s modern iteration of their blue and yellow jersey sees the block stripes of yore reimagined as a subtle, burred “rib” effect. The lightning crackles down the sides are also a reference to the walk-out music at their home stadium: “Thunderstruck” by AC/DC.
25. Wydad AC — Morocco (Away, Macron)
“Clean, bold and unmistakably Wydadi” is the tagline and it’s hard to pick any fault with that. The white shirt is clean, pristine and features a subtle star-shaped graphic pattern all over that has the club crest situated right at the center. Even when Kappa tones it down, it seems to produce the goods.
24. Monterrey — Mexico (Home , Puma) Kappa have developed a knack for neat, sophisticated retro kits and the latest batch of kits for ES Tunis certainly live up to that billing. The Tunisian champions have been furnished with a rather splendid collection of jerseys for the Club World Cup, with the home shirt festooned in blood red and gold stripes. A subtle mosaic pattern is also evident in the material which is based on traditional Tunisian tile art.
22. Fluminense — Brazil (Home , Umbro)
Having played in red and green stripes since the turn of the 20th century, it’s no surprise to see that Fluminense are once again turning out in their delightful deck chair livery. The club’s latest kit does offer a subtle nod to their participation in the Club World Cup via a small label stitched onto the lower hem that reads “From Laranjeiras to the world” — with Laranjeiras being the district of Rio de Janeiro that the team have called home since 1902.
21. Wydad AC — Morocco (Home , Macron)
Wydad have been furnished with an exquisite new home shirt for the Club World Cup which sees an array of tidy white vertical stripes laid over the Moroccan side’s usual red backdrop. The material is also spruced up with a star-shaped pattern that has the club crest at the center. Very, very nice.
20. Esperance Sportive de Tunis — Tunisia (Away , Kappa)
The reigning Tunisian Professional League 1 champions have also got themselves a rather snazzy away kit to match, with green and white stripes providing adequate contrast to the red and gold of the home version. That same tilework mosaic pattern has also been reused, which perhaps isn’t the most imaginative approach.
19. Manchester City — England (Home , Puma)
Man City have delved into the archives and revived their sash for 2025-26, which will feature on all three of the kits they plan to wear as part of their Club World Cup.title defense. The Premier League side have also added a sash design to their home kit for the first time ever in the guise of a white, cloud-like wisp that runs diagonally across the front of an otherwise empty sky blue background.
18. Inter Milan — Italy (Home , Nike)
Inter are no strangers to messing around with a tried and true formula when it comes to their famous home strip. Once again, the Nerazzurri have veered wildly away from their classic bar stripes to produce a weird, futuristic kit that includes wavering, glitchy stripes and a harsh neon turquoise trim. Basically, think “Tron” if “Tron” was an Italian football team.
17. Atletico Madrid — Spain (Home , Nike)
No abstract waves. No optical illusions. No blue stripes within red stripes. No twists. No turns. Atletico Madrid are back in their classic, plain Rojiblanco bars and look all the better for it. The template is simple and unfussy, and the Total 90 collar offers nostalgia for those who yearn for the 2000s aesthetic.
16. Inter Miami — United States (Third , Adidas)
Inter Miami’s new third kit is fresh as a daisy and comes in sky blue with pink and white trim, with a threaded effect woven into the fabric. The application of Adidas’ ultra hip trefoil marque just serves to add the perfect finishing touch to a shirt that wouldn’t look out of place at a beachside bar.
15. Seattle Sounders — United States (Home , Adidas) Nominally designated as “hosts” of the 2025 Club World Cup, Inter Miami will be wearing their brand new “Euforia” home kit for the occasion. With a big stadium move on the horizon and a roster chock full of star power, the glowering pink strip was launched as a symbol of what is shaping up to be a bright new chapter for the MLS club.
13. Porto — Portugal (Away , New Balance)
A declaration of love to the city itself, Porto’s away kit is also a perfectly pleasant shade of creamy, pastel pink with dusky gray trim. There is also a floral graphic all over the trophy that consists of a repeating polygonal depiction of the camellia flower, which is a symbol of the second largest city in Portugal.
Another one of Puma’s collabs with KidSuper, Dortmund’s Club World Cup kit is also suitably unhinged, with smudgy stripes rising up like crooked stalagmites from the lower hem while what appears to be a child’s potato print motif runs across the shoulders. Sort of good, bad and ugly all in one (with heavy emphasis on the latter).
11. Flamengo — Brazil (Home , Adidas) We’re frankly amazed it has taken this long for PSG to unfurl a home kit with the Eiffel Tower front and center, but 2025-26’s design is literally just that. The club’s iconic red Hechter stripe has been recreated using the Parisian landmark’s iron framework, which has been transformed into an ornate geometric pattern. What could have been a chintzy mess is actually a rather refined and delicate-looking thing. Tres bon.
9. Seattle Sounders — United States (Away , Adidas) As always, the only variable when it comes to Real Madrid’s new home strip is what color the trim will be this year — black, gold, purple or blue. This year, they’ve returned to black with additional gold piping and gray mesh under the arms, thus combining recognizable elements from their 2006-07 and 2009-10 home shirts. Perfectly nice, but not overly exciting.
6. Bayern Munich — Germany (Away , Adidas)
Bayern’s new away jersey is ice white with a sort of grainy, patchy camo print overlaid in red and light gray. It certainly looks like the club printer needs a fresh cartridge swapping in but anything — anything — is better than that revolting home shirt.
Intended as a tribute to the Allianz Arena, Bayern’s new away strip is white with a faded gray and coral “camo” graphic made up from the different architectural shapes, textures and cladding of their home stadium. Understated without being bland and so, so much nicer than the Bavarians’ risible new home shirt.
5. Manchester City — England (Away , Puma)
City’s special edition collaboration with KidSuper is arguably the pick of the bunch, with the classic two-tone sash design last seen on 2009-10 third strip given a contemporary makeover using unusual stippled pen marks and a faint graphic pattern made up of fans performing the “Poznan” celebration. It’s quirky without being outright egregious.
4. Inter Miami — United States (Away , Adidas) Is it white with a red sash? Yes, it’s white with a red sash. And still, as achingly predictable as it might be, River’s home kit remains one of the most eternally beautiful, instantly recognizable uniforms in all of world football. The return of the three stripes located on the cuff-end of the sleeves also hark back to the Argentinian club’s kits of the 2010s — which is apparently a long enough trawl back through time to be considered retro these days.
2. Boca Juniors — Argentina (Home , Adidas)
Another of world football’s most iconic shirt designs, the historic blue and gold home jerseys of Boca are utterly and ineffably enshrined. The latest iteration of the format sees the club return to a slightly darker shade of blue for their home kit (pictured at right) while celebrating their 120th anniversary with a commemorative scroll added around their club crest and a “1905” date stamp across the back of the collar. It’s perhaps not the best the Boca shirt has ever looked (you’d have to go back to 1997-98 for that!) but it’s still absolutely timeless fare.
