All Designer Football Shirt Collaborations So Far
Over the last 5 years or so, fashion designers and streetwear brands have been popping up more and more frequently on the football pitch. Let's take a look back at all of the football x fashion collaborations we've seen so far.
All Designer Football Kits
Just as football's influence has been seeping into the fashion and streetwear scene, these two domains have also been leaving their mark on the beautiful game. Fashion houses like Balenciaga and Dolce & Gabbana have come up with their own takes on jerseys, Hector Bellerin walked in Louis Vuitton's Paris Fashion Week show a few years ago, while plenty of brands have actually teamed up with football clubs and their kit suppliers to produce special co-branded gear.
PSG alone are almost into the dozens of streetwear collabs and all the major clubs now have official fashion partners that kit them out with formal wear, but below we have listed the link-ups which have actually produced shirts that have appeared on the pitch.
Real Madrid x Adidas x Yohji Yamamoto - 14-15
The Japanese designer was the first name from the fashion scene to design a football shirt, coming up with this dragon-themed number for Real.
PSG x Jordan 2018- present
Jordan is of course a sportswear brand but it was their first time straying from basketball. Their shirts and lifestyle collections for PSG have been extremely popular since their inception, although in terms of designs they don't stray too far from those of parent company, Nike.
Juventus x Adidas x Palace - 19-20
Skate brand Palace have launched football pieces under their own name before, and in the 19-20 season they created a special shirt in collaboration with Adidas and Juve featuring fading disjointed stripes and touches of neon green, as well as a wider clothing range.
Adidas x Pharell x Human Race - 20-21
This trio combined to reimagine one iconic shirt from each of Adidas elite clubs at the time, with a hand-painted aesthetic. Bayern, Juve and Real Madrid wore theirs in matches but the two English clubs did not.
Napoli x Kappa x Marcelo Burlon - 20-21
The Argentinian-born designer combined his trademark feathered graphic with Kappa's infamously tight-fitting shirts and changed up the colourway for his Partenopei kits.
AC Milan x Puma x Nemen - 21-22
Part of Milanese brand Nemen's manifesto is "redirecting styles, techniques and materials from their typical manifestations towards new aesthetics and applications". Their AC Milan shirt was probably the most criticised of this genre but at least they stuck to their guns.
Real Madrid x Y-3 - 21-22
Y-3 is the long-running collaborative line from Adidas and Yohji Yamamoto, who was responsible for the first item on this list. For his return, he stuck to monochrome and the shirt bore the Y-3 logo instead of Adidas'.
Bari x Kappa x LC23 - 21-22
Designer Leo Colacicco wasn't trying to be revolutionary here, instead choosing to represent the city of Bari and the club with a brilliant octopus print and reference to the club's historical nickname "La Bari", all while borrowing from Kappa's archive of 90s kit elements. This one will be hard to beat from a purely aesthetic point of view.
Vicenza x Lotto x Diesel - 21-22
Renzo Rosso is the owner of both Diesel and Vicenza, and created this kit himself, breaking up and rotating some of the traditional stripes. This one proved very controversial with the fans and even led to them confronting Rosso in the stadium carpark. A provocative design, in the literal sense of the word.
Anderlecht x Joma x ARTE - 22-23
Antwerp-based ARTE gave Joma a hand in coming up with this blue to purple gradient shirt which was worn in a pre-season friendly. Quite the low-key occasion in comparison to most of the other collaborative launches.
Ajax x Adidas x Daily Paper - 22-23
Another instance of a club partnering with a brand from their hometown, Daily Paper are responsible for Ajax's gold third kit and a more interestingly patterned training range.
Monaco x Kappa x Drole de Monsieur
The French brand managed to really encapsulate the style of Monte Carlo with this one, using a luxurious colour palette and diamond motif on both the tracksuit and the match shirt. The Drole de Monsieur text underneath the Kappa omini logo looks the part too.
Roma x New Balance x Aries
Relatively subtle tie dye effects combined with Roma's famous colours, gold detailing and references to the history and culture of the city all play their part in this collaboration that is really well tailored to the club in question. Aries stamped their own style on the range but put the club's identity at the centre of everything.
What's your take on these collaborations? Are you dead set against them or do you reserve judgement until you've seen the results? Which ones have worked well in your opinion? Comment below.
Al Wasl 26-27 Away Kit Released
UAE Pro League side Al Wasl SC has officially revealed its new away kit for the 2026-27 season. Produced once again by Puma, the new strip delivers a sleek, stealthy aesthetic to contrast with the club's traditional yellow home look.
The Puma Al Wasl 2026-27 away jersey is predominantly black, highlighted by subtle tonal patterning woven across the fabric. It features monochrome silver and white sponsor applications and club crest, accompanied by the white Puma cat logo and the United Arab Emirates national flag positioned centrally on the chest. Matching black shorts and socks complete the clean, blackout-inspired look for the Dubai-based side.
Viborg FF 26-27 Away Kit Released
Danish Superliga club Viborg FF has officially launched its new away kit for the 26-27 season, produced by Capelli Sport. Following the release of their home strip earlier this summer, the new away uniform adopts a sophisticated, retro-inspired aesthetic.
The Capelli Viborg FF 26-27 away jersey features a clean white base highlighted by thin green vertical pinstripes and a subtle tonal geometric pattern embossed throughout the fabric. A distinctive green polo collar with a square neckline leads the design, paired with matching green cuffs and fully color-coordinated sponsor prints and club branding. On the upper back beneath the collar, a miniature graphic of Viborg's historic seal completes the look.
Offered in both standard short-sleeve and long-sleeve options, the Viborg FF 26-27 away kit is available now via the club's official webshop.
New Balance 26-27 'Blackout' Boot Pack Released
New Balance has officially launched its latest blackout collection for the 26-27 season, dubbed the Blackout pack. Bringing a clean, understated aesthetic to the pitch, the stealthy drop covers all three of the American brand's primary football boot silos: the Furon, Tekela, and classic 442.
The Blackout pack focuses on a distraction-free, murdered-out look with only minimal, refined contrast outlining the signature 'N' logos and silo branding. The speed-oriented Furon features subtle light detailing across its streamlined knit upper, while the control-focused Tekela and premium leather 442 retain almost fully matte and tonal finishes for pure performance and comfort.
Al Ahly 26-27 Third Kit Released
Egyptian giants Al Ahly SC have officially launched their new 26-27 third kit by Adidas. The release completes the Cairo club's full kit collection for the 26-27 campaign, following the earlier reveals of their traditional red home strip and the new away shirt.
The Adidas Al Ahly 26-27 third jersey introduces an eye-catching design built on a pale sand base. The standout feature is a dynamic maroon graphic spread across the chest and shoulders, creating a striking smoke- or sandstorm-like effect. Dark maroon is also used for the crew collar, sleeve cuff trim, and the iconic Three Stripes along the shoulders.
To maintain the cohesive aesthetic, all detailing on the front of the shirt appears in matching maroon tones. The club's eagle crest has been recolored on a golden shield badge, accompanied by monochrome Adidas and sponsor logos on the chest.
Cape Town City 26-27 Away Kit Released
Cape Town City FC and Umbro have officially unveiled the club's new away kit for the 2026-27 season, following the release of their 10-year heritage home strip.
The Umbro Cape Town City 2026-27 away jersey introduces a fresh colorway, combining a light mint green base with a subtle, intricate graphic pattern across the front and sleeves. Darker green trim on the crew neck collar and sleeve cuffs provides clean contrast.
All club and partner branding, including the stylized CTFC crest, the Umbro logo, and the SportPesa sponsor on the chest, appears in a matching dark green tone. A special anniversary jocktag is positioned near the lower hem to mark 10 years since the club's establishment in 2016.
Hong Kong Rangers 26-27 Home Kit Released
Hong Kong Premier League side Hong Kong Rangers has officially unveiled its new home kit for the 26-27 season. Manufactured once again by Spanish brand Kelme, the new strip brings an energetic and modern look to the pitch as the club extends its long-running partnership with the sportswear manufacturer.
The Kelme Hong Kong Rangers 26-27 home shirt features a vibrant royal blue base covered in an all-over dynamic graphic of diagonal, brushstroke-style streaks in cyan and white. The shirt is finished with a classic V-neck collar, white trim on the cuffs, and white sponsor prints on the front and back, alongside the club's circular crest on the chest.
Matching royal blue shorts with white numbering and royal blue socks complete the full look of the Hong Kong Rangers 2026-27 home uniform.
Sporting CP 120-Year Anniversary Shirt Hit by Crest Peeling Quality Issues
Sporting CP recently celebrated their 120th anniversary with the launch of a special commemorative 26-27 jersey. However, just weeks after its release, several supporters have reported noticeable quality issues regarding the gold heat-applied crest on the shirt. Big thanks to @SuspendamEsta & @AlexRod_27.
Images shared online show the golden lion emblem and shield cracking and peeling away from the fabric after only a month of use, despite fans following strict hand-washing routines. The issue appears to be widespread, with staff at the club's official Loja Verde store reportedly acknowledging multiple complaints and advising customers to avoid machine washing.
Fortunately, Sporting CP's retail staff have been handling the situation proactively by exchanging defective jerseys on the spot and reapplying custom name and number printing at no extra cost. It remains to be seen whether any adjustments will be made to the badge application for remaining or future production runs.
Al-Arabi SC 26-27 Home & Away Kits Released
Qatari club Al-Arabi SC has officially unveiled its new home and away kits for the 26-27 season, produced by Adidas. The designs celebrate the club's traditional red and white identity while incorporating rich maroon accents.
The Adidas Al-Arabi 26-27 home shirt features a vibrant red base dominated by a bold 3D geometric cube pattern across the front. White sleeves with red Three Stripes provide a strong contrast, complemented by a solid red crew neck collar. White monochrome logos, including the Doha Bank sponsor and the club crest, complete the look alongside matching red shorts and socks.
For the away strip, Adidas delivers a refined off-white shirt highlighted by deep maroon raglan sleeves, collar, and side panels. Gold Three Stripes run down the shoulders, while the chest logos and sponsor branding are rendered in clean maroon. The full kit is finished off with white shorts and socks.
Ulsan HD 2026 Third Kit Released
K League 1 club Ulsan HD and Adidas have officially unveiled their new 2026 third kit, titled 'Midnight Wave'. The new strip expands the South Korean club's wardrobe for the 2026 season following the launch of their blue home and white away kits earlier in the year.
The Adidas Ulsan HD 2026 third jersey draws inspiration from the nocturnal seas of Ulsan facing the East Sea. It combines a deep navy base with subtle black gradient elements and striking sand beige accents across the Three Stripes, collar, club crest, and sponsor logos. The look is completed with bespoke sand beige numbering and a special jocktag at the lower hem incorporating the club's tiger emblem alongside wave motifs.
The Ulsan HD 2026 third kit will be available for purchase online via UHD SHOP starting August 21, followed by a release in official physical stores. The team is scheduled to debut the new uniform on the pitch in early September.
Wadi Degla 26-27 Away Kit Released
Egyptian side Wadi Degla SC has officially unveiled its new away kit for the 26-27 season, made by Italian brand Macron. The reveal follows the recent launch of the club's home jersey and expands the team's look for the new campaign.
The Macron Wadi Degla 26-27 away shirt introduces a clean and understated design, centered around a predominantly white base. The fabric features a subtle tonal geometric pattern composed of modern intersecting lines. Black accents provide sharp contrast on the overlapping V-neck collar and the sleeve cuffs, both of which are finished with fine white pinstripes.
Black Macron logos and a monochrome version of the club crest decorate the chest, alongside sponsor branding from Ollin and CLUBtown. A small red sleeve patch adds an additional pop of color to the overall package.
