With the 2025/26 season fast-approaching and teams working hard at pre-season to ensure they are match-fit for the new season, the kit manufacturers are working tirelessly to ensure teams are kitted out at their best for next season.

Outside of South Africa, several top European sides have released their new threads for the season. Arsenal and AS Roma have led the way with exciting releases for their home and away editions, while Barcelona went in a different direction with a gradient-style to their classic blue and red stripes.
