In early 2023, Nike and the club revealed that Chelsea's kits for the 2025-26 season are the first to be designed by a team of designers who recently relocated from Portland to London. Footy Headlines has been able to leak the first info about the Chelsea 25-26 home and away shirts - let's see what the first results of the move are, reflected in the 25-26 kits.
Chelsea 25-26 Jerseys Go Back to Archive
Back in 2023, it was stated that the move would allow the designers to immerse themselves in the local culture and better reflect the club's heritage in their designs. The leaks reveal that the announcement made is not off.
Chelsea 25-26 Home Kit
The Nike Chelsea 2025-26 home kit will see the return of the iconic lion crest, a beloved symbol of the club's history. This design will also feature red detailing, adding a modern twist to a classic look.
Chelsea has been experimenting a lot with its home kits in recent years and has taken a very modern approach with iridescent logos. The 25-26 season marks the return to a more history-fused look.
Chelsea 25-26 Away Kit
For the Chelsea 25-26 away kit, the designers are taking a bold step by revisiting a unique color combination from the 1974-75 away shirt—exactly 50 years after it was originally worn. The kit will feature an off-white base with green and red accents, paying homage to this vintage design while celebrating its half-century mark.
Footy Headlines expects that we will see some modern new elements in the kits and not entirely classic looks
The first info showcases a historical tribute that aligns with the club's deep-rooted traditions. However, Footy Headlines expects that the club will not go entirely classic and copy old kits - expect to see some modern new elements in the kits.
Stay tuned as we hope to reveal more detailed design information about the Chelsea 25-26 kits soon.

Inter Miami 2027 Home Kit Leaked - 11 New Pictures
Footy Headlines can now leak 11 new pictures of the Adidas Inter Miami 2027 home kit. Although it is a fake, the design is identical to the real one.
The new Inter Miami 2027 home shirt features a pink gradient across its fabric, inspired by Miami's pink skies, complemented by matching pink Adidas stripes and a pink collar with black accents.
Al-Muharraq SC 26-27 Home & Away Kits Released
Bahraini powerhouse Al-Muharraq SC has unveiled its new home and away kits for the 26-27 season, once again crafted by Italian brand Macron. The new collection stays true to the club's heritage with refined, classic designs that incorporate traditional club colors and rich local symbolism.
The 26-27 home shirt arrives in the club's signature vibrant red, complemented by a white polo-style collar and thin white piping running down the sides. In contrast, the away jersey reverses the palette with a crisp white base accented by a red collar and matching trim. Both jerseys incorporate subtle tonal jacquard vertical stripes into the fabric, lending a classic touch to the modern performance material.
A standout detail on both shirts is the central chest graphic placed between the Macron Hero and the embroidered club crest. It features the silhouette of Muharraq alongside the founding year 1928 and the Arabic inscription "المحرق أمانة تتوارثها الأجيال" (Muharraq is a trust inherited across generations). Sponsors DHL and eazypay complete the look on the front.
CD Lugo 26-27 Home Kit Released
Spanish Primera Federación side CD Lugo and Puma have officially unveiled the club's new home kit for the 2026-27 season. Launched under the Galician campaign slogan "Cambia o trazo, non a identidade" (Change the stroke, not the identity), the design modernizes the club's historic look while maintaining its core identity.
The Puma CD Lugo 2026-27 home shirt features the traditional red-and-white vertical stripes, updated with a subtle gradient effect along the edges of the red stripes that gives the pattern a dynamic, softened feel. Red takes the primary focus across the top, covering the set-in sleeves and forming the front portion of the V-neck collar, which is accented by white trim along the collar and cuffs.
Moving away from previous blue accent trims, the new shirt adopts a cleaner red, white, and black palette. It is completed with the Puma cat logo on the chest, the club crest over the heart, and the familiar Estrella Galicia sponsor centered across the torso.
Nottingham Forest Announce Bally Bet Sleeve Sponsor Deal
Nottingham Forest have officially announced a two-season partnership with Bally’s Intralot, confirming them as the club's Official Sleeve Partner for the 26-27 and 27-28 campaigns.
As part of the agreement, the Bally Bet logo will appear on the sleeves of the men’s first-team shirts, while the Jackpotjoy branding will feature on the sleeves of the Nottingham Forest Women’s first team. The move follows Bally’s tenure as the club’s primary front-of-shirt sponsor during the 25-26 season.
With the Premier League’s ban on front-of-shirt gambling sponsorships coming into effect for the 26-27 season, Forest introduced Marex as their new front-of-shirt sponsor.
Shifting Bally's to the sleeve allows the club to extend their commercial partnership while adhering to the league's regulations, which continue to permit gambling brands on shirt sleeves.
Hull City Announce McVitie's as Sleeve Sponsor for 26-27 Season
Hull City has officially announced the return of iconic British biscuit brand McVitie's as the official sleeve sponsor across all first-team playing shirts throughout the 26-27 season. The deal marks a reunion between the Tigers and pladis-owned McVitie's, following an earlier partnership between the two during the 23-24 campaign.
The distinctive navy and gold McVitie's badge sits directly on the left sleeve above the cuff trim, complementing the club's 26-27 kit range produced by Oxen. Unfortunately, these colors do not fit.
