Nike 28-29 Elite Clubs Kit Concepts
The new Nike 28-29 elite clubs kit concepts are all based on Nike’s new 2028 kit template, with colors and designs inspired by each club’s traditional colors.
The template incorporates three main neckline variations, a clean polo collar, an athletic V-neck, and a distinct round neck with a prominent upper-chest cutout panel, accompanied by organic side panels extending seamlessly from the underarms to the hem.
For Chelsea, the concept showcases the collared variant, dressing the Blues in their signature royal blue base with refined white contrast piping tracing the shoulder seams and side flanks.
Barcelona and Atlético Madrid provide an intriguing look at how traditional stripes interact with the template's cutlines. The Barcelona concept utilizes the modern round-neck iteration, integrating the Blaugrana stripes directly through the chest yoke, finished with subtle gold details.
Meanwhile, Atlético Madrid takes on the sharp V-neck version, where the dynamic side piping elegantly frames the iconic red-and-white stripes.
With the template now accessible across creator platforms like FIFA Kit Creator, designers and enthusiasts will continue exploring what the future holds for international and club sides alike.
While official kits for the 28-29 campaign remain well over a year and a half away, these early renders offer an exciting preview of Nike's next design evolution.
