As Amsterdam marks its 750th anniversary, Ajax is paying tribute to the city’s rich heritage with a striking new away kit for the 2025/26 season.

Crafted by adidas, the shirt draws inspiration from the waterways that have shaped both the landscape and the soul of the Dutch capital. Drenched in a fresh aquatic blue and accented with fluorescent green, the kit features a fluid, wave-like motif across the chest – a nod to the flowing canals that define the city.

More than just a visual homage, the shirt reflects the club’s identity. The tagline “It’s in our water” – long associated with Ajax’s reputation for producing world-class talent – was used to unveil the design, linking the club’s enduring footballing philosophy to Amsterdam’s essence.

Like the home shirt, this away version incorporates the classic Ajax logo, alongside a pennant detail on the upper back. That emblem is inscribed with Amsterdam’s founding year (1275), its anniversary year (2025), and the city’s three iconic St. Andrew’s crosses – a subtle but powerful nod to its legacy.

Just like the canals beneath its streets, Ajax’s roots run deep – and this shirt ensures the whole world sees it.

Ajax’s 2025/26 away kit is now available via the Ajax web shop, Official Ajax Fan Shops, adidas.nl, and select global retailers.

AC Milan have officially unveiled their 2025/26 away kit – and this year, the Rossoneri are leaning into their legendary nickname with a striking return of a club icon: the Diavoletto.

Crafted in partnership with PUMA, the new shirt blends tradition with bold design. It features the club’s classic white base, accented with sharp red and black detailing – a nod to Milan’s enduring away shirt identity.

But the star of this year’s design is the revival of the Diavoletto, the devil emblem that first appeared in the 1980s and has since become one of the most distinctive symbols in AC Milan’s history.

This reimagined away kit celebrates the spirit, pride, and fire that define the club – with the devil motif acting as both a cultural nod and a rallying cry. It’s a kit not just worn, but lived.

Marco Mueller, PUMA’s Senior Director of Product Line Management Teamsport Apparel, said: “White Away kits are synonymous with AC Milan so this year we wanted mix things up and really tap into the devilish theme and the iconic Diavoletto emblem which really brought new life to the kit.

“The pairing of the white base with the black and red detailing really helped elevate the jersey and create a unique style that brings some fire to the pitch with a devilish aesthetic.”

To celebrate the launch, AC Milan and PUMA turned the city into a live-action tribute.

Fans were invited to take part in a treasure hunt through Milan, following a trail of red devil symbols hidden across iconic club landmarks. The event culminated at the Bottega del Diavolo, where participants received exclusive gifts and a first look at the new kit – fusing community, culture, and club heritage in true Milan fashion.

The kit is available now through official AC Milan and PUMA retail channels.

Barcelona are set to return to their iconic – and newly renovated – Camp Nou for the 2025/26 season after two years away, and they’ll mark the occasion in style with a bold new home kit.

Moving on from last season’s half-and-half shirt, the latest design reintroduces the club’s beloved blaugrana vertical stripes – this time with a modern twist.

The stripes have been reimagined with a sleek diagonal gradient effect, blending Barça’s traditional blue and red into a rich purple haze. The fluid visual is meant to reflect the movement and energy of players like Lamine Yamal, Pedri, and Raphinha, whose dynamic style defined last season.

Inside the collar, “FC Barcelona” is printed proudly, while the back features a subtle nod to the club’s heritage: a detail combining the Barça flag and the Catalan Senyera just below the neckline.

The shorts are blue with horizontal trim and vertical striping down the legs, completing the sleek look.

The Spotify logo appears on the front of the shirt alongside Nike’s Swoosh, with Ambilight TV featured on the men’s first team sleeve and Bimbo on the women’s. The UNHCR/ACNUR logo also continues to appear below the player numbers on the back.

Barça first adopted vertical stripes in 1910, and despite a few bold departures over the decades – like the halved centenary kit, 2015/16’s horizontal stripes, or the checkerboard pattern of 2019/20 – they’ve remained the club’s visual signature. This return to verticals underscores Barcelona’s commitment to tradition while embracing evolution in design.

The new kit is available now men’s, women’s and children’s versions through Barcelona and Nike’s online stores, as well as selected global retailers.

England’s Under-21 stars let their hair down in style after retaining their European crown – and for one player, the celebrations may have gone a bit too far.

The Young Lions were crowned back-to-back Under-21 European champions after a dramatic 3–2 extra-time win over Germany in Slovakia. It was Jonathan Rowe, off the bench, who sealed it with a stooping header in extra time.

What followed? A party – naturally. After a gruelling few weeks, the squad toasted their success in Bratislava before continuing the celebrations on the flight home.

Tyler Morton seemed to be one of the liveliest, spotted chugging a beer on the plane – earning the nickname “Tyler De Bruyne” from Bournemouth’s Alex Scott, a nod to both his assist for the winner and his standout second-half display in the final.

Harvey Elliott, who scored in the final and was later named Player of the Tournament, also enjoyed the moment – seen rocking sunglasses and posing with the trophy and his teammates.

But Jack Hinshelwood may have taken it the furthest. The Brighton youngster was caught on camera by Elliott lying down on an airport luggage conveyor belt, cowboy hat still on, water bottle in hand, struggling to gather himself after the wild night.

It came despite manager Lee Carsley’s warning to “have a shandy or two” and go easy before the early hours flight back to Birmingham.

Let’s just say… Hinshelwood missed the memo.

Last week, Major League Soccer revealed their jersey for the 2025 MLS All-Star Game – a clean white design with blue and green accents paying homage to the league’s original branding.

Now, their opponents on the day, Liga MX, have dropped their kit – and it couldn’t be more different.

Manufactured by CHARLY, the Liga MX All-Star kit is anything but subtle. Bold, colourful, and proudly loud, the shirt draws direct inspiration from the mascots and icons of all 18 Liga MX clubs.

The jersey is built around a vivid green base, echoing the Mexican flag, with asymmetrical black detailing woven throughout – including a lion for Club León, a hairless dog for Club Tijuana, and fox fur patterning for Atlas FC. The result is a brutalist, abstract design – a wearable collage of Liga MX identity.

A large Liga MX wordmark sits proudly on the chest, while a separate logo runs across the upper back. A solid black shoulder panel houses the CHARLY wordmark, positioned just above a green, white, and red tricolour bar.

CHARLY also unveiled a striking orange goalkeeper kit, with a different tonal print but a similar aesthetic – designed, just like the outfield version, to stand out.

“We wanted to ensure that every person who goes to the game supports their team and still identifies with this jersey,” said Gerardo Lango, International Apparel Design Manager at CHARLY.

The 2025 All-Star Game takes place on July 23 at Austin FC’s Q2 Stadium, where MLS’s top talent will square off against Liga MX’s best.

With the two leagues divided by history, culture, and footballing philosophy, they now stand visually apart as well – both ready to make a statement.
