15 Brilliant Football Christmas Jumpers Revealed
Classic Football Shirts have unveiled 15 fantastic Christmas jumpers based on iconic football shirts and players.
Classic Football Shirts Christmas Jumper
The novelty Christmas jumper trend arrived about ten years ago and for a while they were everywhere. The phenomenon has died down in recent years but it could make a comeback this Christmas thanks to Classic Football Shirts' latest drop. Their team have produced a set of the garments based on some of the best and most recognisable football jerseys of the last few decades, complete with star player names on the back.
The sweaters are based on specific jerseys from different seasons, rather than just a team's basic colours. Wintery wordplay and festive puns replace shirt sponsors, brand logos and club badges, while the obligatory iconography that adorns Christmas jumpers is also present in abundance, with a few footballing twists added in.
References to the players themselves are also included, with some real creativity on show in the details. Hats off to the design team for coming up with so many variations on the theme and incorporating so much football culture into the range in a novel way.
Take a look at all 15 jumpers below and the shirts - and players - that inspired them.
AC Milan Home 98-99
Arsenal Away 95-96

Classic Football Shirts also released three great Christmas jumpers last year, inspired by Roberto Baggio, Gabriel Batistuta and Ronaldo, which you can see below.
For us however, this years efforts are even better thanks to their specificity, attention to detail and the range of options on offer. Plus, they managed to fit the finest Christmas football image in existence into the collection. Let's hope his family don't object to such a fantastic use of his likeness.
The jumpers go on sale tomorrow from Classic Football Shirts' website and 10% of sales will be donated to housing and homelessness charity Shelter.

NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani Wears Arsenal Kit Inspired Kurta at Eid al-Adha
New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani attended Eid al-Adha prayers in the Bronx wearing a kurta based on Arsenal's 2025-26 away shirt. The longtime Arsenal supporter chose the traditional tunic for the Wednesday celebration.
The garment replicates the navy blue design with red lightning bolt patterns from the club's away kit and includes the Emirates Fly Better sponsor logo. Photographs of the outfit circulated widely on social media after the event.
Mamdani, who has supported Arsenal since childhood, combined his fandom with the Muslim holiday observance in the city he leads.
Gillingham 26-27 Away and Third Kits Released
League Two side Gillingham FC has officially revealed its new away and third kits for the upcoming 2026-2027 season. Produced by technical sponsor Macron, the dual launch offers fans two vastly different aesthetics, pairing a highly elegant, retro-inspired away strip with a bold and modern third option.
The new Macron Gillingham 26-27 away shirt introduces a classy and refined look for the club's travels. It features a cream base, anchored by a striking central vertical stripe in teal and green. Adding to the tailored aesthetic is a traditional teal polo collar adorned with blue and white trim, which perfectly matches the detailing on the sleeve cuffs.
In stark contrast, the Gillingham 26-27 third shirt embraces a loud, contemporary design. The alternate jersey is built on a black base that is completely covered by a vibrant purple marbled, liquid swirl graphic pattern. To ensure the branding stands out against the chaotic background, Macron has utilized a striking neon mint green for the manufacturer logo, the central sponsor, and the trim on both the modern V-neck collar and sleeve cuffs.
Which of these two new Gillingham 26-27 kits do you prefer - the classy cream away or the bold purple marbled third? Let us know in the comments below.
