Top 5 Football Kits That Dropped in July
Another month, another wave of football kit drops worth talking about. July has blessed us with bold colours, standout patterns, and plenty of storytelling woven into the fabric. From retro inspiration to new-season energy, here are the top five kits that stood out this month.
From lightning bolts and paw prints to pink fades and throwback collars, July proved once again that football kits are as much about expression as they are about performance.
Arsenal x Adidas — Away Kit 2025/26
Arsenal are lighting up the pitch and the streets with this electrifying away kit by Adidas. Featuring a dark navy base with striking purple lightning bolts and red detailing on the shoulders, it’s a design that feels both futuristic and nostalgic. The lightning motif is a throwback to the club’s cult-classic kits from the 90s, while the modern fit and subtle silver details add contemporary flair. It’s bold, confident, and perfectly in line with Arsenal’s youthful energy.
Atalanta x New Balance — Away Kit 2025/26
Atalanta’s away shirt by New Balance is a masterclass in sleek design with playful detail. A clean cream base is elevated with bold vertical stripes in black and electric blue, infused with an eye-catching gradient and paw-print pattern — a subtle nod to La Dea’s fierce mentality. The gold silhouette of the goddess reinforces the club’s mythology while adding a regal touch. It’s one of the most unique kits of the season so far.
FC Barcelona x Nike — Home Kit 2025/26
Nike sticks to tradition, but with a modern twist for Barça’s latest home jersey. The deep red and navy stripes return with a gradient and a glossy texture that catches the sunlight, making the kit shimmer with every movement. Set against a natural backdrop for the campaign shoot, the shirt blends legacy with lifestyle. With Spotify still front and centre, the shirt reinforces the club’s global and cultural status while staying rooted in classic aesthetics.
Bayer Leverkusen x New Balance — Away Kit 2025/26
Bayer Leverkusen’s new away kit feels both casual and elevated. New Balance has chosen a gradient pink fade atop a clean white canvas, offering a softer, lifestyle-driven design. Worn by the women’s squad for its launch, the campaign leans into comfort, confidence, and inclusivity. It’s more than just a football kit — it’s a statement on and off the pitch.
AS Roma x Adidas — Third Kit 2025/26
Adidas delivers another timeless piece for Roma with their third kit. A crisp white shirt with green and gold accents on the collar and cuffs evokes classic football heritage while keeping things minimalist. The stylised “ASR” monogram adds a bespoke touch, and the retro Adidas Trefoil makes it instantly collectible. This is one for both the hardcore fan and the fashion-minded football romantic.
