FC Nantes 25-26 Home Kit
This is the new Macron FC Nantes home jersey for 2025-26.
The Macron FC Nantes 2025-2026 home shirt is predominantly the club's traditional yellow. It features fine vertical green pinstripes, which this season are presented in a broken line style. The pinstripes are a clear reference to the iconic Nantes kits from the 1980s, while the "varying lengths illustrate the links between eras, supporters, players, and successive jerseys."
The jersey incorporates a Korean-style collar in green with a yellow border, a pattern that is repeated on the sleeve cuffs. The FC Nantes crest is applied to the left chest, while the Macron Hero logo appears in green on the right. The main sponsor for the men's team is rendered in red, while the women's team sponsor will be green.
The back of the shirt also features the dashed pinstripes. A notable detail on the nape of the neck is the inclusion of eight stars, representing the club's eight French national titles.
A significant update for the 2025-2026 home kit is the return of green shorts, a classic combination for Les Canaris. These will be paired with yellow socks.
The new FC Nantes 2025-26 home kit is available now from the official club store at Stade La Beaujoire and on the club's website.

Oliver Baumann Slams FIFA Over World Cup Jersey Badge
Germany goalkeeper Oliver Baumann has publicly spoken out against FIFA's commercialization, pointing to a controversial practice involving temporary kit badges at the 2026 World Cup. In a recent interview with BILD, the goalkeeper criticized what German media have dubbed "Trikot Gate," shedding light on how players' match jerseys were handled for profit behind the scenes.
According to Baumann, FIFA applied special commemorative patches to player shirts before matches, labeling players with titles like "Legacy" or "Debutant." However, immediately after matches, staff entered the dressing room to peel those badges off the jerseys. Frustrated by the process, Baumann stated that players just wanted to keep their authentic kits intact rather than having them stripped.
Baumann did not play a match in the 2026 World Cup. Those badges are removed from the kits to be later part of trading cards, as part of a deal with Topps. However, it remains to be seen if badges of players who finally did not make a debut will be made into cards, or if it was just removed because of the streamlined process.
The goalkeeper appealed to governing bodies to prioritize the sport itself over endless commercial initiatives. Baumann warned that excessive commercialization, from stripped kit patches to unnecessary breaks, threatens to alienate fans and players who care about the tradition and passion of football.
Mohamed Salah Takes Number 10 Shirt at Trabzonspor
Mohamed Salah has officially completed his move to Turkish side Trabzonspor after leaving Liverpool. Following his arrival, the Egyptian superstar has been assigned the club's number 10 shirt for the 26-27 season. The Turkish club had initially prepared the number 11 jersey, the same squad number Salah wore during his iconic stint at Anfield, but the winger requested number 10 instead to match his shirt number with the Egypt national team.
To accommodate the request, Trabzonspor player Ernest Muçi, who previously held the number 10 jersey, agreed to give up the squad number out of respect for his new teammate. During his arrival flight to Turkey, Salah was seen wearing a presentation kit featuring number 61. The number 61 holds special cultural significance in Trabzon, representing the province's vehicle code and a tradition celebrated by supporters in the 61st minute of matches.
Salah has signed a two-year deal with Trabzonspor, and his official number 10 kit is now available as the club prepares for the upcoming season.
