Nottingham Forest have officially released their home kit for the 25/26 season, featuring an homage to a landmark season under Brian Clough.
Forest’s 25/26 kits were leaked back in June, with the first look at the home kit showing that it will pay homage to the 1992/93 shirt, as well as the 1982/83 kit that first used the pin stripe design.
In what was the inaugural season of the Premier League, Forest were eventually relegated in what was Brian Clough’s final season in charge at the City Ground before his retirement.
The pin stripe design was highly popular, though, so here is everything you need to know about how to get your hands on the retro-inspired shirt.

Nottingham Forest reveal 25/26 home kit
Forest’s traditional Garibaldi red with white trim is still present in the newly released 25/26 home shirt, but there are slight differences to align with the kit’s inspiration.
Along with the pin stripes, the club crest is also encased in a shield, much like the 1992/93 shirt, in a style that would carry over until the 1995/96 kit but hasn’t been seen ever since.
The announcement on the Forest website said: “Inspired by kits of the past, the shirt sees the return of white pinstripes across the front of the shirt, first seen in 1981/82, with a modern darker stripe accompanying the classic look.

“A single button complements the small collar at the top of the shirt with the iconic crest from the early ‘90s, which featured on the recently released limited-edition Forest Sambas, completing the 2025/26 look.
“As we prepare to take the stars back to the European footballing stage for the first time since 1995/96, a piece of our illustrious history is coming with us as the Club celebrates its 160th anniversary this season.”
How much does the new Nottingham Forest kit cost?
Forest fans will have to part with £75 to purchase the 25/26 home kit, with both the men’s and women’s kits costing the same.
To complete the set, the shorts will cost £35 and the socks £16, putting the full kit at a price of £126.
For Juniors, the home shirt will set them back £50, with the shorts priced at £28 and the socks at £15. Infants are also catered for, being able to purchase a full kit for £50.
As it stands, there isn’t a sponsor on the 25/26 home kit, after the deal with Kaiyun expired at the end of the 24/25 season.
Who is the kit supplier for Nottingham Forest?
Adidas remain Forest’s kit supplier for the 25/26 season, continuing their long-standing relationship with the club that has seen countless iconic kits don the three stripes.
The current deal with Adidas was announced back in 2023, in what was said to be a multi-year agreement.
