5. Inter Milan – Valentino Rossi Special Edition Away Shirt
MotoGP met calcio in Inter Milan’s limited-edition collaboration with Italian racing icon Valentino Rossi. The away shirt blends Rossi’s high-octane style — including his famous number 46 and “Sun and Moon” symbols — with Inter’s signature blue-and-black palette. Neon yellow highlights pop from the shirt, giving it a racing flair that stands out even on the football pitch. It debuted in Inter’s match against Cagliari and quickly became a collector’s item.

4. SSC Napoli – ‘Partenope’ Fourth Kit
Napoli’s fourth kit for the 2024/25 season — the “Partenope” — dives deep into the mythology and spirit of the city. With sea-blue tones, swirling wave graphics, and nods to the siren Partenope of ancient Greek lore, the jersey celebrates Naples’ 2,500-year-old cultural roots. Golden accents and mythological detailing give the shirt a regal finish. EA7 (Emporio Armani) once again handled the design, bringing an elevated, luxury look to the pitch. The kit was unveiled alongside a cinematic launch video, featuring iconic Neapolitan landmarks and music, which added to the drama. It’s a celebration of place, identity, and history — exactly what a fourth kit should be when done right. You can purchase this kit on the official SSC Napoli online shop.
3. Genoa CFC – Casa Luzzati Special Edition Kit
In a beautifully artistic tribute to the city of Genoa, the club’s special kit in collaboration with Casa Luzzati was one of April’s classiest releases. Inspired by the late artist Lele Luzzati, the shirt features his handwritten “Genova” script across the front in a distinctive, whimsical style. Subtle illustrations and fine details connect football with the local creative scene, while the Saint George shield — a proud Genoese symbol — appears boldly on the sleeve. It’s a kit that doesn’t shout, but it tells a rich story. Designed not just for the pitch but for proud citizens and art lovers alike, this shirt is a perfect fusion of culture, identity, and football tradition. You can get this special edition kit on the official Genoa CFC webshop.
2. BSC Young Boys – Anti-Racism Kit
BSC Young Boys made a powerful statement with their #YBFOREVERYONE kit — a black jersey launched to promote inclusion and fight racism. Reflective silver detailing and subtle graphic patterns symbolise unity and diversity, making the shirt both stylish and deeply meaningful. But this wasn’t just a campaign on fabric. The kit launched alongside real community outreach, with fan-led workshops, school visits, and charity drives aimed at tackling discrimination in and around football. Its limited-edition status made it highly sought after, but its true value lies in the conversation it sparked. In a sport that still battles issues of equality, Young Boys proved a shirt can do more than look good — it can stand for something greater. You can purchase this kit in the official BSC Young Boys website.
1. Club América – Pac-Man Special Edition Kit
In one of the boldest mashups of football and pop culture, Club América teamed up with Pac-Man to drop a limited-edition kit that’s pure nostalgia. The vibrant yellow base features pixelated ghosts, power pellets, and a custom 8-bit font, giving the shirt a vintage arcade vibe. The club badge was reimagined in classic video game style, and fans immediately embraced the playful look. More than just a jersey, this kit feels like a collector’s item — one that bridges generations and proves football design can be just as fun as it is fashionable. Released in limited numbers, it sold out instantly. Whether you grew up playing Pac-Man or just love bold kits, this one was a clear April highlight.
