The new 25/26 football jerseys are here, and they're not just for match day. This guide helps you pick the right kit, understand how jerseys fit, wear them off the pitch as streetwear, and wash them so the print lasts — whether you support a club or just love the look.
What's New in 25/26 Kits
Each season clubs refresh home and away colorways, and 25/26 leans into bold gradients, retro throwbacks, and cleaner collar lines. If you collect, the fan-edition cut is the smart buy: lighter, looser, and built for everyday wear rather than 90 minutes of sprinting.

Picking Your Kit: Home, Away or Fan Edition
Home vs away
Home kits are the iconic look; away kits often experiment with color. Grab the one that matches your wardrobe — a white away kit layers easier than a dark home shirt in summer.
Fan edition vs player version
Fan editions are relaxed and breathable for daily wear. Player versions are slim and sticky with heat-pressed details — great on the pitch, less forgiving off it. For styling, fan edition wins.

How Jerseys Fit
Fan editions run relaxed. Size down one for a tighter streetwear fit, or stay true-to-size for comfort. If you plan to layer a long tee underneath (a popular look), go true-to-size or one up.
5 Ways to Wear a Jersey Off the Pitch
1. Over a long tee with cargo pants
Let the jersey hang open over a plain long tee, paired with cargo pants. Effortless soccer-core.

2. With chunky sneakers
White chunky sneakers keep the look grounded. See our chunky sneaker guide for pairings.
3. Open over a hoodie
Zip-less jerseys work as a lightweight layer over a zip hoodie for cooler evenings.
4. Tucked into parachute pants
Tuck the front of the jersey into high-waist parachute pants for a clean, modern silhouette.

How to Wash a Football Jersey
Turn it inside out, wash cold on delicate, skip fabric softener (it clogs the material), and hang dry. The dryer is the fastest way to crack prints and shrink the collar — avoid it and your kit stays sharp for seasons.
