As clubs and brands unveil their kits for the 2026-27 campaign, football fans are once again treated to some of the best shirt designs in recent years.
With the FIFA World Cup now behind us, attention has quickly shifted back to club football. Less than a month remains before Europe’s biggest leagues kick off, and clubs have unveiled some of the best looks for the season. This year’s releases continue the momentum from the World Cup, which featured several shirts that are already on track to become future classics. While plenty of home kits have stayed true to tradition, it’s the away kits that have stolen the spotlight with bold colorways and modern reinterpretations.
We’ve already covered some of the best football kits released earlier this season, but the latest wave of launches has taken things to another level with several clubs have unveiled kits that deserve a place among the year’s very best. From the Premier League to Serie A, La Liga, and the Bundesliga, here are six more football kits that might just convince you to spend on another shirt.
Inter Milan Away
Inter Milan rarely misses when it comes to kit design, and this year’s away shirt is no exception. The circular club crest blends seamlessly with the subtle pinstripe design, while the shirt draws heavy inspiration from classic baseball uniforms. It’s a fresh direction without losing Inter’s identity, and the white and dark blue color combination keeps everything looking clean and premium. Inter’s kits have always been among football’s classiest thanks to their iconic colors, but this away shirt stands on its own as one of the club’s best recent releases.
Napoli Home and Away
Napoli may have the strongest kit collection of the season. The home shirt celebrates the club’s centenary with the exclusive Centenary Blue, paying tribute to 100 years of Napoli football while giving the iconic color a more refined and modern look. Celebratory detailing and the “Partenopei” wordmark on the back collar further honor the club’s roots and the pride of the city.
The away kit is just as impressive. Built on a clean white base, it features elegant light blue accents on the neck, sleeve cuffs, and logos, while thin blue vertical pinstripes add a timeless feel. It’s classy and easily one of Europe’s best away shirts this season.
Real Madrid Away
Real Madrid’s new away kit is a nostalgic nod to one of the club’s most memorable eras. Its green colorway recalls the shirts worn during Jose Mourinho’s tenure, but Adidas has reimagined it with a cleaner, more modern execution just as Mourinho returns to Los Blancos. The updated template gives the jersey a contemporary feel while preserving the nostalgia that longtime supporters will immediately recognize.
Under the bright lights of Champions League nights, especially in the long-sleeve version, this kit is bound to become an instant fan favorite.
Manchester United Away
Red will always define Manchester United, but the club has also produced some iconic blue shirts over the years.
This season’s away kit revives that tradition by taking inspiration from the blue kits worn between 2005-07, 2014-15, and the 1980s. The familiar blue-and-red combination returns with a modern twist, celebrating memorable moments in the club’s history while giving supporters another standout alternative to the classic red home shirt. As United looks back to its rich history, it just proved that may be the best way to move forward as they try to challenge for the Premier League this season, and they did exactly that here.
Bayern Munich Away
Drawing inspiration from kits worn throughout the 1990s and early 2000s, the kit features a white base layered with a subtle geometric pattern across the front and back. A navy polo collar is paired with a matching V-shaped insert, while red and white trim completes the design.
The result is a shirt that perfectly balances nostalgia with modern styling. It may not be as loud as some of this year’s releases, but it’s one of the most elegant kits of the 2026-27 season. Another reason Adidas kits stand out is their long-sleeve option, a feature that has transformed many of Europe’s finest football kits into instant classics.
