Real Madrid Goes Crazy with 25-26 Kit Prices

  • Real Madrid Kit Price: Real Madrid's new 2025-26 authentic home kit costs over €200 with personalization and badges, setting a new high price benchmark.
  • Pricing Discrepancy: The high cost of Real Madrid's kit is driven by the expensive personalization and badge add-ons compared to clubs like FC Barcelona and Bayern Munich.
  • Market Comparison: The fully personalized Real Madrid jersey costs €200-€205, making it one of the most expensive standard club releases, while other clubs offer similar options for less.

Most major European teams have released their new 2025-26 home kits. Prices have remained high but stable for most teams (€100 for replicas and €150 for authentics), but the pricing strategy to add extras is questionable for some teams.

Real Madrid 2025-26 Home Kit Tops €200

What particularly came to our mind is Real Madrid's pricing strategy, particularly for the authentic version. With it, Real Madrid is setting a new, significantly higher benchmark compared to other European giants like FC Barcelona and Bayern Munich. A fully decked-out, authentic Real Madrid home shirt will now cost fans over €200.

Authentic Kit Pricing: Madrid Leaps Ahead

Adding a custom name and number, plus badges, brings the Madrid 2025-26 home kit to €205.

While the base price for an authentic jersey is standardized at 150 euros among top clubs, Real Madrid's charges for personalization and badges have created a massive price gap.

Real Madrid: The authentic 25-26 home jersey is priced at a staggering €200.00 with a player name & number and the Champions League + Intercontinental badges. A custom name takes the price even higher to €205.00.

FC Barcelona: The authentic 25-26 home jersey is priced at €149.99 base. A full player print costs +€20.00, and the UCL badge is +€15.00, bringing the total to €184.99.

Bayern Munich: The authentic 25-26 home jersey is priced at €175.00 with player printing and the CL logo. The base shirt is €150. Bayern just charges €5 for the UCL badge

Breakdown of the Extra Cost

The driver of Real Madrid's even higher price is the cost of adding player names, numbers, and badges, which is significantly more expensive than their rivals.

Player Name & Number:

  • Real Madrid: +€25.00 for a player, +€30.00 for custom personalization.
  • FC Barcelona: +€20.00 for a player.
  • Bayern Munich: +€20 for a player.

Competition Badges:

  • Real Madrid: +€25.00 for the combined Champions League + Intercontinental badge set.
  • FC Barcelona: +€15.00 for the UWCL badge set.
  • Bayern Munich: Charges just +€5.00 for the Champions League logo.

This pricing strategy means Real Madrid fans will have to pay a significant premium to get the same fully personalized, authentic jersey that supporters of other top clubs can purchase for less. The total cost of €200-€205 for a single player jersey from Real Madrid's official store is one of the highest, if not the highest, prices ever seen for a standard club release.

Oddly, FC Barcelona is not selling their kits without badges online, making the cheapest option for a replica shirt €115. Prices in England are only a little bit cheaper. For example, Manchester United's authentic 25-26 kit with badges and name and number costs you £148 (€171).
