LaLiga 2025-26 Season: Anticipation and New Kits
The excitement of LaLiga’s 2025-26 season opening on August 15 is right around the corner, and anticipation grows not just for the matches but also for the impressive new kits that Spain’s elite clubs will sport this season. Among the 20 teams of the division, we’ve curated a list featuring ten standout jerseys, highlighting selections from traditional powerhouses like FC Barcelona, Real Madrid, and Atlético Madrid, alongside notable designs from less heralded squads.
Standout Kits for the Season
This season poses a challenge for Real Madrid and their gearmaker Adidas, as the club’s iconic home kit remains steadfastly white. For their latest offering, Adidas has crafted a shirt with intricate detailing that only becomes visible up close, ensuring the absence of any blemishes from a distance. The inspiration stems from the renovation of the Santiago Bernabéu, with historical elements subtly woven into the design, while a touch of yellow reflects a nod to the 2009-10 season. The shirt is set to grace stars like Kylian Mbappé and Jude Bellingham.
Real Sociedad has opted for a classic approach with their home kit, featuring timeless blue-and-white vertical stripes. However, this year’s design boasts a significant twist: it is free of any sponsorship logo after a shift in their partnership with the Yasuda Group.
Barcelona’s new away kit pays homage to the late Kobe Bryant, with a stylish golden backdrop illuminated by purple and black accents reminiscent of the L.A. Lakers. Featuring Bryant’s brand logo in lieu of the Nike swoosh, the shirt aims to embody the inspirational “Mamba Mentality”, a philosophy the team wishes to pass on to young athletes.
Atlético Madrid takes a bold route with an away jersey designed in deep navy, highlighted by striking yellow details. This design cleverly incorporates lightning motifs, paying tribute to the club’s tradition of playing AC/DC’s “Thunderstruck” at Metropolitano Stadium before matches.
Elche’s new away kit strikes a more controversial note, featuring a black foreground with vibrant green-and-white designs inspired by vintage Nigerian kits. This shirt celebrates their return to LaLiga after a two-year hiatus and aims to merge modern aesthetics with tradition.
Celta de Vigo’s away kit, described as infused with “Galician soul”, showcases a stylish homage to their coastal heritage, echoing the region’s flag in its design and highlighting the waves surrounding the port city of Vigo.
Real Betis’s third kit showcases a creative integration of their historical green tones into a tiger-stripe pattern, paired with a striking black base, photographed against the backdrop of nighttime Seville.
Returning to the top tier after 24 years, Real Oviedo has unveiled a royal blue home kit celebrating their centenary, featuring a checkered pattern and elegant gold accents that complement its classic style.
Espanyol’s away kit embraces simplicity, featuring a textured cream design that evokes sophistication. With blue trims and a subtle club crest, it reflects new ownership aspirations.
Finally, newly-promoted Levante features a vibrant blue-and-burgundy striped kit, accented with gold to celebrate their historical home ground, which honors a century since its establishment. This attention to design promises an enticing season ahead for both players and fans alike.
