Strange Line Spotted on Real Madrid 25-26 Kit
Jun 19, 2025, by Phan Tich Giay
- Visible Line on Kits: A noticeable horizontal line has been spotted on the lower torso of the new Real Madrid 2025-2026 kits, affecting both home and away versions, as well as the goalkeeper jersey.
- Cause of the Line: The line is likely caused by the heat press used to apply namesets and numbers on the new, sensitive Adidas 25-26 authentic fabric, which is prone to leaving lasting impressions.
- Not Just a Real Madrid Issue: Similar lines have been observed on Bayern Munich's kits, indicating that the issue stems from the new Adidas fabric used for elite teams, and can potentially be resolved by adjusting the heat press settings.
During the recent official portrait photoshoot for the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup, a rather strange and noticeable detail was spotted on the new Real Madrid 2025-2026 kits. A deep horizontal line is clearly visible across the lower torso of the players' jerseys.
Strange Line Spotted on Real Madrid 25-26 Kit
In the portrait photo series, a 'strange' line seems to divide the Real Madrid jersey into two distinct parts. The fabric on the lower part (from the stomach down) appears to be pressed inward and looks smoother than the upper part.
This issue appears not only on the home kit but also on the away kit and even the goalkeeper jersey, indicating that it is not an accident but a systematic error that occurred during the printing process.
Crucially, this line is not just a photoshoot artifact. It remains visible during matches, as seen on both Thibaut Courtois' goalkeeper jersey and the outfield players' home kits.
The Cause: New Adidas Fabric + Heat Press?
As reported previously by Footy Headlines, the new Adidas 25-26 authentic fabric is particularly fine and smooth. It appears that when heat is applied to apply namesets, numbers, or sleeve patches, the edge of the heat press can leave a lasting impression on this sensitive material, causing it to slightly shrink or stretch and form a visible line.
Not Just a Real Madrid Problem: Also Seen on Bayern Kits
Not only Real Madrid's kit, but Bayern Munich's kit also features a similar horizontal line. This is evidence that the issue is related to Adidas' new fabric material used for the authentic kits of elite teams. In Bayern Munich's case, the horizontal line is less noticeable due to the red color and vertical stripe pattern that help camouflage it. However, on Real Madrid's all-white kit, the line stands out much more prominently.
For fans and retailers customizing the new kits, the solution likely lies in the application process. Using a heat press with less pressure or with more appropriate temperature settings for this specific fabric could help prevent or mitigate the creation of this line.
