Leaked: Nike 2025-2026 Third Kits to Go Back Into Archive

The 2025-26 season is still very far away. However, Footy Headlines has now obtained information that Nike plans to revisit its archives for the 2025-2026 elite third kits.

Nike 25-26 Third Kits to Feature Retro Touch

A source close to the matter revealed to us that the Nike 25-26 third kits will feature retro Nike aesthetics. Although more details are yet to be disclosed, three main options have been suggested to us.

1. Left Chest Logo

The current Swoosh or a (classic variant) could be placed on the left chest, similar to Nike's first European kit, the Sunderland 1983-86 Home Jersey.

2. Swoosh on the Left Sleeve

The swoosh might appear on the right sleeve, as seen on Nike's first-ever football kit for the Portland Timbers in 1971.

3. Old Nike Logo (1971-1976)

There is also the chance that the kits only feature the vintage Nike logo, which was used from 1971 to 1976.

It is the second season in a row that Nike experiments with its logo on its Elite Team third kits. The Nike 24-25 third kits feature an upside Swoosh.
