Top Ten Away Kits of the 22-23 Season
A few days ago we gave you our list of the Top 10 Away Shirts of the 22-23 season, so today it’s time four our pick of the best away kits. Like any judgement of physical appearance, these choices are subjective and plenty of you will have different opinions, so make sure you let us hear them in the comment section.
Top 10 22-23 Away Kits
Manufacturers have a little more freedom to experiment with away jerseys so often the designs can be a bit more adventurous than those of the home shirts. Plenty of clubs also have traditional away colours, although changes to these can generally be tolerated pretty well if the overall design is well executed.
Many of our top ten draw from their club’s history, while creating something that’s relevant to the more modern trends. Check them out below.
10 - Palermo
The latest acquisition of the City Football Group, Palermo launched a set of interesting shirts this summer, the black and pink away having lots of retro appeal with its symmetrical double stripes and wide collar with v insert. White trim on the collar and cuffs instead of gold may have worked better from an aesthetic standpoint, but gold has featured on the club badge throughout their history.
9 - Parma
A new twist on the iconic blue and yellow striped shirts worn by Juan Sebastian Veron, Hernan Crespo, Lilan Thuram and Fabio Cannavaro during the club’s glorious late 90s to early 00s era. The jagged lines are a minor change and are executed better than some other attempts to introduce variety to striped shirts.
8 - Barcelona
Map graphics are all the rage this season and this Nike effort for Barcelona is among the most impressive. The shirt is inspired by the 1992 Olympic Games that were held in the city, the gold base referencing the medals and the colours of the Olympic rings incorporated brilliantly in the cuffs. A map of Barcelona is woven into the fabric and applied in a mirrored fashion giving a symmetrical print on the torso.
7 - Leeds
This kit would surely be flying off the shelves if the club could actually get their hands on the shipments. Tie-dye is nothing new, having been around since the 60s, going in and out of fashion before seeing a huge resurgence in recent years. Adidas have played around with it before but it's been done to great effect here by using the club’s traditional away colours while creating something unlike any of their previous yellow and blue kits.
6 - Brondby
Created in collaboration with a small group of fans and a local tattoo artist, sketches showing off the club’s origins and identity were sublimated onto the fabric, it’s safe to say this one went down well with the supporters. This shirt became the fastest selling in Brondby’s history. It's not the first time we’ve seen tattoos implemented into a design, but the all-over application, the blue on blue tones and its authenticity give it an edge. Solid colourway too.
5 - Lazio
Lazio featured on our list of best home kits and they’ve done it again with their away shirt. The black lines of the gradient chest band really accentuate the curvature around the Mizuno logo and create a sense of motion, which seems like the perfect accompaniment to the runbird. The blue and yellow are vibrant but are proportioned expertly to the black base. As if that wasn’t enough, it has the retro badge too. Really stellar work from Mizuno, let’s hope this partnership keeps churning out more beauties over the next few seasons.
4 - Valencia
Another case of excellently proportioned main to accent colours. The same template as Man City’s home shirt, it's allowed to really shine here thanks to the two tone colour scheme and the stark contrast of orange on black. When sponsors are flexible enough to allow their logos’ colours to be changed, it can really do wonders for the shirt’s overall aesthetic. These two colours have been used frequently for Valencia away shirts, so its already got some identity to it, but the enlarged badge graphic elevates it further.
3 - Arsenal
Black and gold may have been done to death over the last couple of seasons, but this Arsenal shirt doesn't just rely on a tried and tested colourway (and technically it’s also black and bronze, according to Adidas). The simplified cannon badge instantly improves any Arsenal shirt and the AFC lettering print gives just enough of a retro tinge to what is a very modern shirt. Adidas haven’t put a foot wrong since they started making Arsenal’s kits and this shirt has set the bar even higher again.
2 - Stuttgart
Very likely the most faithful throwback kit produced by a brand different from the original manufacturer, Stuttgart’s 22-23 away kit is a tribute to the one they wore from 1997 to 1999. Jako even included Adidas’ the three stripes on the collar, but they obviously couldn’t go as far as putting them on the shoulders too. The jako logos and dots that replace them are probably the shirt’s weakest feature, but hats off for how the Mercedes logo is incorporated seamlessly into the striped design.
1 - Inter
Contrary to the common popular theme of putting a map of the club’s home city on the shirt, Inter went bigger and better and splashed a mint green map of the whole world across their away jersey. This is in reference to the club’s origins as a splinter club open to players of any nationality (as opposed to AC Milan who limited the number non-Italians who could join), and the relatively neutral choice of colours prevent it from being over-imposing. This Nike template has its fair share of critics but this design manages to get the best out of it.

Adidas Messi Special-Edition Argentina Kit Leaked - 2 New Images
We have new images of the special-edition Adidas Lionel Messi Argentina kit, showing the design produced with authentic Climacool+ specifications. However, the jersey in the pictures is a counterfeit. Fakers have moved quickly to manufacture physical shirts that replicate Adidas' latest top-tier player-issue template based on earlier replica/fan leaks of the signature design. Following Messi's international retirement after the 2026 World Cup, it remains to be seen what Adidas will ultimately do with the official rollout of the special-edition Messi kit and accompanying collection, and if it will be available as authentic and worn in a match.

The Bordeaux 26-27 home shirt is predominantly dark navy, centered around the iconic white scapular across the upper chest. A retro-styled white polo collar with a crossover V-neck and contrasting white sleeve cuffs complement the classic aesthetic. Adding depth to the navy base is a subtle tone-on-tone geometric pattern featuring a diamond grid interwoven with the three interlaced crescents from the city of Bordeaux's coat of arms.
Hummel completes the jersey with its signature white chevrons running along the shoulders, alongside the Hummel wordmark and the club's crest displayed on the chest. Navy shorts and socks complete the full 26-27 home kit.

Stade de Reims 26-27 Third Kit Released - Celebrating 100 Years of Circuit de Gueux
Puma and Stade de Reims have officially unveiled the club's new third shirt for the 26-27 campaign. The design serves as a tribute to the historic Circuit de Gueux racing track located just outside the city, marking the 100th anniversary of its opening in 1926.
The Puma Stade de Reims 26-27 third jersey is predominantly black, accented by curved light grey brush-stroke graphics across the body that resemble skid marks on asphalt. A contrasting grey V-neck collar, matching cuffs, and grey side panels complete the frame, while the club crest, manufacturer branding, and sponsor prints appear in clean monochrome white.
A standout finishing touch can be found at the lower hem in the form of a special commemorative jock tag.

The new third kit is available through the club's official webshop.
Sunderland Announce Shuffle as Official Sleeve Partner
Sunderland AFC have announced a new multi-year agreement with Shuffle, naming the centralized crypto casino and sports betting platform as the club's Official Sleeve Partner. The Shuffle branding will make its on-pitch debut on the first-team kits starting this weekend.
The deal replaces LiveScore Bet, who served as Sunderland's sleeve sponsor during the 25-26 season. While Premier League regulations prohibit front-of-shirt gambling sponsorships starting in the 26-27 campaign, betting and casino brands remain permitted to feature on shirt sleeves.
Shuffle's logo will be displayed on the sleeve of Sunderland's kits throughout the multi-year partnership, providing global visibility for the platform as the Black Cats continue to overhaul their commercial lineup.
BG Pathum United 26-27 AFC Champions League Two Home Kit Released
Thai League club BG Pathum United has officially revealed its dedicated home kit for the 26-27 AFC Champions League Two campaign. Produced by Nike, the jersey adapts the club's domestic home look into a streamlined, competition-compliant design for continental action.
The 26-27 ACL2 home shirt utilizes the same royal blue base and template as the standard domestic kit, accented by dark navy ribbing on the collar and sleeve cuffs alongside white side panel details. To adhere to AFC equipment regulations, the domestic sponsors have been stripped away. In place of the usual LEO front sponsor, the continental version showcases a white Singha Corporation graphic paired with the player's squad number on the front, complemented by a monochrome white club crest and Nike Swoosh.
The Nike BG Pathum United 26-27 AFC Champions League Two home kit is now available through the club's official club store and online shop, priced at 999 THB with optional full flex printing.

Crafted by New Balance, the special collection takes direct inspiration from the kits worn during the club's very first Asian continental adventure back in 2009.
The Newcastle Jets 26-27 ACLE home jersey is predominantly gold, highlighted by a navy panel across the upper chest and shoulders separated by a thin red accent line. The retro-inspired template is completed with gold shorts and socks. Inverting the palette, the away jersey features a deep navy base topped with a contrasting gold chest block and matching red piping, paired with navy shorts and socks.
Both shirts feature the club crest, New Balance logos, and the Wadam Living sponsor across the midriff, as well as the official AFC Champions League Elite tournament sleeve patch on the right arm.
