Kit Highlights:

Looking at some of my favourite Kit highlights of the League Phase of the competition…

There were two teams that wore five different Kit variations in their eight games, Bayern Munich and Sporting CP.

Bayern Munich, who wore Home, Away and three different variations of their 3rd Kit.

Sporting CP wore two variations of their Home Kit, Away, 3rd and a Charity Kit.

Bayer Leverkusen were the only team to wear a single Kit Look through this phase of the competition.

PSG were the only team to wear four distinct kits with no variations, wearing Home, Away, 3rd and 4th Kit in their eight games!

AS Monaco wore three different Home Kit looks, using red / white shorts and socks in different combinations.

Benfica were the only team to wear just their Home Kit in all of their matches, they did this in two different looks, wearing default look (white shorts) six times and alternative red shorts twice.

Borussia Dortmund as with traditional over the recent seasons wore a Cup Kit, they did this in two different variations, only wearing alternative shorts the once in the opening game against Juventus.

Juventus wore their 3rd Kit more than any other look, wearing it four times including once at Home.

There were three examples of “European” Change kits, with Napoli having dedicated European Away and 3rd Kits (a shame we did not get to see that wonderful brown 3rd Kit in Champions League Action) and Union Saint-Gilloise used a “European” Away Kit.

Manchester City wore a 4th Kit for second season in a row, this season wearing it three times in total for their most used look away from Etihad Stadium.

That’s it, the Champions League “League” Phase has now been completed!

One of the most common goalkeeper templates across Europe this season, but it a goal scoring one now and we love a goalkeeper scoring!

We are now over half-way through the League Phase of the Champions League this season, the fifth round of fixtures being played on Tuesday 25th and Wednesday 26th November 2025.

The current Kit Overview for Kits worn by The Champions League Teams.

Match 5 Fixtures

Total Kits Used

Kits Worn in Total – 98
15 New Kits used this Matchweek

New Kits this Matchweek

The 15 new kits this week were the following:

Ajax – 3rd
Benfica – Home, All Red
Union Saint-Gilloise – Away (European Version)
Villarreal – Away
Barcelona – Away
Newcastle United – 3rd
Napoli – Away (European Version)
Athletic Club – Away
Monaco – Home with alternative red shorts / white socks
Bayern Munich – 3rd with green socks
Inter Milan – Home with white socks
Real Madrid – 3rd
PSG – 4th Kit
Tottenham Hotspur – 3rd
Club Brugge – 3rd

Kit Highlights

There are just two teams have just worn a single kit look in the five games so far, both from Germany – Bayer Leverkusen and Eintracht Frankfurt

The game between Ajax and Benfica was a game that gave us plenty of talking points in terms of kits. Firstly, Ajax were the Home Team and wore their 3rd Kit, the reason given for this was the lack of Kit Options from Benfica (who have a light grey Away Kit and white 3rd Kit).

This was also the 4th Kit Look Ajax have used so far in the competition (joint highest) and was the first alternative look worn by Benfica.

Two teams wore “European” Away Kits for the first time in the Champions League. Union Saint-Gilloise wore a plain white shirt (their domestic Away contains a map of the area in the body of the shirt) and Napoli wore an All White Away, with their domestic Away being cream in colour.

Newcastle United wore a change kit for the first time in Champions League this season, using their “Trefoil” 3rd Kit against Olympique Marseille.

Athletic Club wore their Away Kit at Slavia Prague, this was their 4th different Kit Look so far this season in the competition, the joint highest from a club.

It was 4th Kit v 3rd Kit, when Tottenham Hotspur visited PSG, who debuted their 4th Kit for this season (something we have seen them use in past few seasons in The Champions League). PSG are the first team to wear four distinct kits in the competition so far.

AS Monaco wore a different Kit variation for the first time this season, however it was still their Home Kit but paired with alternative shorts and socks, so red shorts and white socks, the opposite of their default look.

Bayern Munich wore their 3rd Kit for the second time in the competition, however this time with alternative green socks, rather than the default light gold / cream socks, this is the fourth Kit Look used so far.

There are eight teams that have now worn four kit looks in the opening five games, Galatasaray and Sporting CP (who used four in four games), Ajax, Athletic Club, Bayern Munich and PSG all mentioned above, with the other two teams Inter Milan (who wore white socks with their Home Kit) and Union Saint-Gilloise (European Away) making up the eight clubs.

My favourite Kit Match of the week was the game between Borussia Dortmund and Villarreal, the Spanish team are not one for changing their kit but against Dortmund was one of times when it was needed, so the Kit Match up looked good in action.

Kit Stats

Overall we have seen the following kits…

19 Home Kits
7 Away Kits
7 3rd Kits
2 “Cup” Kit
1 4th Kit

There were just 4 Kit Variations seen this week…

Benfica – Home, All Red
Monaco – Home, alternative red short / white socks
Bayern Munich – 3rd, alternative green socks
Inter Milan – Home, white socks

PSV Eindhoven – Away
Bayern Munich – Away

Kit Highlights

Six teams have just worn a single kit look in the four games so far – Bayer Leverkusen, Benfica, Eintracht Frankfurt, Moncao, Real Madrid and Villarreal.

Sporting CP, who by wearing their Away Kit against Juventus means that they have now worn four different kits in their opening four games. This was also the first time Juventus have worn their Home Kit in this season’s competition.

Galatasaray are another team that made it four kit looks in four games, with them wearing their 3rd Kits at Ajax.

Inter Milan wore their 3rd Kit at Home against Kairat, this was their 3rd different Kit look of the competition

Overall, there have been 13 Clubs that have worn 3 different kit looks in their opening 4 games and 15 Teams that have worn just 2 kits.

My favourite Kit Match of the week was the game between Olympiacos and PSV Eindhoven, a nice balance of kit colours and with the red and white detailing in the PSV kit gives a nice look to their Away Kit.

Kit Stats

Overall we have seen the following kits…

22 Home Kits
6 Away Kits
6 3rd Kits
2 “Cup” Kit

There were just three Kit Variations seen this week…

Slightly delayed here is my look at Matchweek 3 of Champions League, completed on Tuesday 21st and Wednesday 22nd October.

The current Kit Overview for Kits worn by The Champions League Teams.

This gives 107 of the 108 Kits of the 36 Teams, but there will be more thanks to a 4th Kits / Cup Kits that we will see in use over the coming months!

PSG – 3rd
Inter Milan – Away
Manchester City – 4th
Galatasaray – Home / Away Shorts

Kit Highlights

Nine teams have just worn a single kit look in the three games so far – Bayer Leverkusen, Benfica, Chelsea, Copenhagen, Eintracht Frankfurt, Kairat, Moncao, Real Madrid and Villarreal.

This was the Matchweek where we saw the use of 4th Kits for the first time this season, however for two very different reasons..

Manchester City’s 4th Kit is in collaboration with EA SPORTS FC.

Sporting CP’s 4th Kit was a Charity Kit raising awareness for Brest Cancer for Pink October.

Galatasaray wore a nice variation of their Home Kit, which was paired with their white Away shorts.

Juventus are yet to wear their Home Kit in the competition so far this season, having worn their 3rd twice (including once at Home) and Away Kit.

PSG are one of the teams to make it three kits in three games, with their 3rd Kit, which is my favourite of the T90 Nike 3rd Kits this season.

My favourite Kit Match of the week was the game between Chelsea and Ajax, as regular followers will know I do enjoy a contrasting sock colour with a kit look, so both teams going for this was always going to be a match up I enjoyed.

Kit Stats

Overall we have seen the following kits…

21 Home Kits
5 Away Kits
6 3rd Kits
2 “Cup” Kit
2 4th Kits

There were just two Kit Variations seen this week…

Galatasaray – Home, with white (Away) shorts
Ajax – 3rd, with alternative dark blue socks

The revamped Champions League format is now in it’s second season, and this is also the second season we will review the kits worn in each Matchweek, much like the Premier League Kit Reviews.

Round 2 of the fixtures have been completed, with each team now playing home and away, so plenty of new kits on show over the two nights of fixtures.

The current Kit Overview for Kits worn by The Champions League Teams.

This gives 107 of the 108 Kits of the 36 Teams, but there will be more thanks to a 4th Kits / Cup Kits that we are likely to see in use over the coming months!

Juventus – Away

Kit Highlights

As called out by The Football Kit Podcast Galatasaray’s shirt mirrored the shirts worn by the mascots in the pre-game line up.

Slavia Prague wore a “mash up” against Inter Milan, using their Home (white) socks with their 3rd Kit (who’s default socks are pale blue), for an all white look.

Holders PSG are using their current Away Kit for a second season, however this is the first time it has been used in the Champions League, having just worn Home and 4th Kits in victorious campaign last season.

Juventus are the only club not to wear their Home (or Cup) Kit yet in their opening two games, after wearing their 3rd Kit in their Home game last match week, they wore their Away at Villarreal.

There were 11 teams that have worn the same kit (Home or Cup) in the opening two games, meaning over 70% of clubs wore different kits in the two appearances so far.

5 Teams, Athletic Bilbao, Borussia Dortmund, Newcastle United, Sporting CP and Union Saint-Gilloise have worn their Home (or Cup) Kit in opening two games in two different variations wearing alternative shorts (and socks in Newcastle’s case) with their Home Kit.

My favourite Kit Match of the week was the game between Borussia Dortmund and Athletic Bilbao, this season’s Cup kit for Dortmund is a simple classic looking kit, paired with Athletic Club wearing alternative white shorts with their Home Kit gave a wonderful looking match up.

Kit Stats

Overall we have seen the following kits…

23 Home Kits
6 Away Kits
5 3rd Kits
2 “Cup” Kit

Kit Variations seen this week…

Slavia Prague – 3rd, with Home (white socks)
Newcastle United – Home, with alternative white shorts & socks

The revamped Champions League format is now in it’s second season, and this is also the second season we will review the kits worn in each Matchweek, much like the Premier League Kit Reviews.

And here we go…. just as last season’s competition, the first round of fixtures were played over three days, 16th to 18th September 2025.

The current Kit Overview for Kits worn by The Champions League Teams.

This gives 107 of the 108 Kits of the 36 Teams, but there will be more thanks to a 4th Kits / Cup Kits that we are likely to see in use over the coming months!

Match 1 Fixtures

Total Kits Used

Kits Worn in Total – 36

New Kits this Matchweek

As the first week of the Competition, all 36 kits are being used for the first time!

Kit Highlights

Arsenal wore an alternative silver shorts and socks for their game at Athletic Bilbao, not a unique look for the club as it was reminiscent to one worn by the Gunners in 2002 when they visited AS Roma, thanks to our friend Denis at Museum of Jerserys for calling this out.

Juventus wore their new 3rd Kit in their home game against Borussia Dortmund, this also meant the Dortmund (wearing their Cup Kit, which has become the norm for European Games) wore alternative yellow shorts, a look they did not use until the knock phase of the competition last season.

Tottenham Hotspur kicked off their campaign in their traditional European “All White” look, which we are expecting to see in all home games this season in the competition.

Bayern Munich wore their Home Kit in the Champions League for the first since Semi Final of 23 / 24 season, having worn 3rd Kit in majority of their games last season. Given that the home kit of 2023 / 24 season was the white shirt with red sleeves, this is the first time they have been in all red since the 22 / 23 competition, 883 days in total.

Eintracht Frankfurt are one of the teams wearing a “Cup Kit” during this season’s competition with an all black kit acting as their first choice look.

Napoli will not be wearing their wonderful 3rd kit in the Champions League this season (the love for this kit was discussed in the latest Episode of The Football Kit Podcast), instead they have a European Away and 3rd Kits, with the all navy 3rd kit being worn at Manchester City.

My favourite Kit Match of the week was the game between Liverpool and Atletico Madrid, the new Liverpool Adidas Home Kit is really delivering in its look (especially in long sleeve), and one of the best examples of the T90 3rd Kits from Nike on show together, it was always going to be this game!

Kit Stats

Overall we have seen the following kits…

19 Home Kits
4 Away Kits
6 3rd Kits
2 “Cup” Kit

Kit Variations seen this week

Union Saint-Gilloise – Home, alternative yellow shorts
Arsenal – Away, alternative silver shorts & socks
Borussia Dortmund – Cup, alternative yellow shorts
Sporting CP – Home, with white shorts

Knock Out Round

This new round of fixtures saw both Real Madrid and Borussia Dortmund who just wore the single kit in the League phase in new looks, with Madrid in their Away Kit and Dortmund using alternative yellow shorts with their European Cup Kit.

One of the more interesting Kit used for the first time in this round was AC Milan who wore their 3rd Kit with its alternative socks, which were pink to match some of the detailing within the shirt (sponsor / collar inlet).

Last 16

Feyenoord became the team with the most Kit Variations in this season’s competition when they wore their 6th Kit Look, with Home Kit and alternative white shorts and socks.

There were a couple of other new looks in these fixtures, Arsenal in alternative white shorts with their Away Kit, Inter Milan went all yellow with alternative shorts with their 3rd Kit and Benfica used their 3rd Kit for the first time in the competition.

Quarter Finals

Real Madrid wore their 3rd Kit, one of Adidas Trefoil 3rd Kits for the first time in the competition at Arsenal.

Barcelona wore their only their only alternative kit variation in their quarter final game at Borussia Dortmund, wearing “off white” shorts with their Home Kit for one of the more unusual looks seen by club, but one that goes back into their history with their first ever kits taking this look.

Semi Finals

PSG continued to use their 4th Kit in an away games in the competition, this has been the way through out the knock out rounds (they are the only team to make from the initial knock out rounds) and have used in their final two group games, one home and one away.

Barcelona wore their 3rd Kit for the first time this season in the Champions League.

Final

PSG have only worn blue in the competition this season, wearing their Home Kit 11 times and their 4th Kit 6 times in their 17 games in total, with Inter Milan in their 3rd Kit with alternative shorts for the 2nd time.
