Real Madrid Drops Stunning Retro Third Kit That Will Define the 2025–26 Season

Real Madrid have officially revealed their highly anticipated third jersey for the 2025–26 season.

Supporters have been anxiously waiting to acquire Madrid's new alternative strip since photos surfaced on social platforms during the summer months. Now, seven days before the new La Liga season kicks off, the fresh design has been officially launched.

Making a comeback to blue styling for the first time since the 2017–18 season, the Madrid alternate kit showcases the iconic adidas Originals trefoil—continuing the impressive series of trefoil-branded releases throughout Europe.

Enhanced by white details, the jersey also displays the yellow letters RMCF positioned across the rear neckline.

The design serves as homage to the club's legendary Santiago Bernabéu venue, particularly the blue seats that encircle the pitch in the 84,000-capacity ground.

A label appears at the shirt's base featuring the text 90 Minuti en el Bernabéu son molto longo. Translating directly to "90 minutes at the Bernabéu is a very long time", this memorable quote from club icon Juanito has transformed into a team motto and now appears on both the stadium infrastructure and the new alternate kit.

Madrid will be hoping the fresh jersey delivers positive results for Xabi Alonso's inaugural campaign in the Bernabéu technical area.

Following an underwhelming end to Carlo Ancelotti's spell at the helm, Madrid are beginning a fresh chapter under their new head coach. Their upcoming season commences on Aug. 19, after their request to postpone their campaign start due to the Club World Cup was firmly declined.
