The UEFA Champions League is back. These are the best kits we’ll see in the league phase.
The UEFA Champions League has made its return, and we’ll be treated to fireworks on the pitch from day one. However, our focus today lies with the clashes you might see in the kit department. It’s only right that we do, as this year has been one of the best-ever when it comes to kit releases.
As we count down to the action, here are all the best kits you might see when you tune into 2025-26 UCL nights.
Fresh off a brilliant title-winning campaign, Napoli have dropped a truly sensational away kit for the 2025-26 season. It’s an off-white base with gold trim, which is a perfect combination to begin with, but the subtle addition of a graphic inspired by their home of Naples put this one over the top. The design spans across the entirety of the kit and is the perfect finishing touch.
A kit fit for champions in the Champions League.
Sticking in Italy, we travel to the city of Bergamo to marvel at the beauty of Atalanta’s away kit.
The fadeaway stripes on this kit are aesthetically pleasing to say the least, and the patterns present are representative of similar ones which featured on club kits in the ’80s and ’90s.
The gold silhouette of “La Dea,” which takes inspiration from the club crest of the 1960s, is the last jigsaw piece to a kit filled with subtle but beautiful homages to the club’s history.
Oftentimes, clubs look to make kits inspired by their past but fail to execute when it comes to the overall look, but Atalanta truly nailed this kit.
Liverpool broke out a gorgeous shade of green for their third kit drop this season, and I was an immediate fan. The use of the vintage badge in conjunction with the iconic adidas Trefoil gives it the perfect blast from the past feeling, while subtle stripes across the kit are an excellent finishing touch.
To be frank, any one of the three Liverpool kits for this season could’ve made the cut. adidas hit it out of the park for the Reds in 2025, and I’ll definitely be hoping to see this one brought out on UCL nights.
I’m sure you’re beginning to sense a theme here… 2025 is the year of the third kit, as evidenced by our UP third kit article dropped last month. This beauty would’ve been mightily hard to overlook had it been released before we compiled the list, so it’s only fitting that we give it some shine here.
You can’t screw up all-black kits, but the subtle design choices can take one from “yeah, that’s decent” to “my goodness, I need that yesterday.” Inspired by their 2004-05 away kit, Nike and Chelsea brought back Total90, and the deep blue lines and asymmetric sleeve designs are perfect choices to complement the black.
The white collar design, the classic CFC badge and the Club World Cup gold emblem all take this kit from a banger to an instant classic.
When teams go for ultra-specific and detailed graphics on their kits, it can go one of two ways: an over-designed mess, or a real work of art. FC Copenhagen have hit in the latter.
It’s another black kit, but this time it is accented by a striking silver that forms the design based on the city’s maps of both past and present.
