Real Madrid fans can expect something fresh yet nostalgic for the 2025-26 season. Leaked images from June have revealed what the new third kit will look like, and it’s already creating buzz.
The Adidas design brings a modern twist to a classic idea, combining bold colour choices with meaningful detail that connects to the club’s history.
The standout colour of the jersey is a rich azure blue, making it easily one of the most vibrant shirts in recent memory.
Along with that, Adidas has added soft diagonal patterns across the fabric, giving it a stylish, textured look.

However, what truly sets this kit apart is the use of Adidas’ famous heritage zig-zag 3-Stripes in white on the shoulders.
A tribute to Juanito and the spirit of comebacks
Beyond the design, this kit carries a deeper meaning. Inside the collar, there’s a special message: “90 minutes at the Bernabéu are a long time.”
This quote comes from Real Madrid legend Juanito, who said it in 1985 after a tough 0-2 loss to Inter Milan in the UEFA Cup semi-final at San Siro.

The quote has since become part of the club’s identity, often recalled whenever Real Madrid stages a dramatic comeback, whether it’s against PSG, Bayern Munich, Chelsea, or Manchester City.
Now, nearly 40 years later, the club will proudly display these words as a tribute to Juanito and the never-give-up attitude that defines Los Blancos.
The 2025-26 third kit is more than just a shirt, it is a symbol of tradition, passion, and the belief that anything is possible at the Bernabéu.
With this design, Real Madrid not only celebrates its past but also carries its fighting spirit into the future.
