The best kits of the 2024/25 season

Amid the joy of major international football and the frenzy of the transfer window, clubs have been quietly dropping their new kits for the upcoming 2024/25 season.

While there are plenty more to come, an array of truly sensational shirts have already been offered up, many of which boast the potential to become future classics. Of course, how they are viewed in years to come will depend on what is achieved in the new campaign.

Here are the ten best shirts that have been officially released by clubs across the world for the 2024/25 season - ranked.

20. Paris Saint-Germain Away

This is a marmite one.

It will undoubtedly divide opinion and even we can't decide whether we love it or loathe it, but something about it is just screaming to us. Perhaps it's a reminder that we need to book an optician's appointment, who knows?

In case you somehow hadn't noticed, PSG's away shirt for the new campaign boasts an enormous Eiffel Tower pattern across the front, making up the colours of the French flag when combined with the white base.

The paint-stroke style of the motif is questionable, but at least it offers up something truly unique.

19. Crystal Palace Home

When you think of a top-tier kit manufacturer, Macron don't immediately spring to mind. That's fair enough given some of the shirts they produced in the 2010s, but their latest efforts have been much improved.

However, Crystal Palace are clearly their favourites, with Macron normally saving their best for the Eagles.

They had a corker last year and it's the same for 2024/25. The eagle motif is worked seamlessly into the famous red and blue stripes, with the sleeve cuffs and collar neat and tidy.

It's a shame about the sponsor, but you can't have it all.

18. Bologna Away

Bologna's surprise Champions League qualification has been celebrated by two gorgeous Macron shirts for the new season. The away takes top spot though thanks to that two-tone horizontal stripe across the chest.

It's a clean offering from a club who haven't made a significant splash in the kit world recently, and it's certainly worthy of donning in Europe's premier competition.

17. West Ham Home

There is one word to describe West Ham United's new home shirt: clean. The claret and blue colour scheme can look a little tired after a while, but this fresh take - inspired by the 1960s - is lovely.

The collar is particularly tasty even if a little large, matching the sleeve cuffs, and the club crest stands out a mile. Even the Umbro centenary logo is something a little unique.

Again, bin the sponsor and it's perfect.

16. Wrexham Third

Wrexham may not have won League Two last season but they have still gone gold for their 2024/25 third jersey. England's lower divisions generally produce eyesore kits, but there is a smattering of excellent shirts this year (as you will see).

This lovely number is Hollywood level, especially that black V-neck collar. We think this might be popular, as everything Wrexham is these days.

15. Toulouse Home

You may not have been fortunate enough to see the Toulouse 2024/25 home shirt, so here it is. Just take a moment and breathe this beauty in.

Purple kits are cool, we all know that already. Kits with a sash are cool, we know that too. Put the two together and you've got something truly sensational.

With Nike at the helm these days, Toulouse are likely to win when it comes to their latest threads.

14. FC Versailles away

For those unfamiliar with FC Versailles, they play their football in the French third division (thank you, Wikipedia). Les Bleus are celebrating their 35th anniversary in 2024 and have subsequently created a sensational away shirt that oozes class.

Their 7,545-capacity stadium (thanks again, Wikipedia) will be drenched in this shirt next season, although their beautiful blue home kit may rival this one in popularity.

Kappa have struck gold again.

13. Millwall Home

We wouldn't blame you if you couldn't remember a single Millwall kit ever made. They have certainly never stood out when it comes to their jerseys and moving to Errea last season seemed unlikely to change that.

Well, they've planted egg firmly on our faces with their 2024/25 home jersey, offering a 'retro fusion' between old-school shirts and their more modern counterparts.

The collar, the cuffs, the horizontal white stripes, the subtle pattern across the deep navy blue. Perfection.

12. Fulham Home

If you haven't already noticed, we're a sucker for a collar, with Fulham's 2024/25 home shirt boasting a delightful one. The black and white contrast always pops, but this Cottagers jersey looks so darn smart.

The red at the bottom of the shirt offers something a little different, even if it may have looked sharper in black.

The only negatives are the sponsors - both sleeve and chest - but it still can't detract from this shirt's neat look.

11. Wolfsburg Home

Wolfsburg have monopolised this shade of green in the football sphere. It's not too dark but also not too neon, although they have added a new shade within a gorgeous central stripe for 2024/25.

With the forest green shorts and the beautiful Volkswagen sponsor, it makes for an absolute stunner and certainly their best home jersey for a number of years.

Nike, you've done it again. Take my money.

10. OGC Nice home

We're incredibly grateful that Le Coq Sportif have dipped their toe back into the football shirt manufacturing game following their stellar creations in the late 1990s and early 2000s.

They have quietly produced some bangers in recent years but this Nice home jersey is undoubtedly the pick of the bunch. Those famous red and black stripes have never looked so beautiful.

The gold accents only elevate a special shirt.

9. Manchester United away

Man Utd don't do dark blue too often but they tend to deliver when they do, as exemplified by this year's away kit. It may not be everyone's cup of tea, but it tickles our fancy.

The 'M' motif running throughout the shirt works really well, while the collar is very prim and proper. Snapdragon is not the worst sponsor we have seen either and it's certainly superior to the recently discarded TeamViewer.

Man Utd haven't had a navy blue away shirt since 2016/17 but we're glad they have brought that run to an end.

8. Bayern Munich Home

Bayern Munich's latest home shirt has divided opinion. 'No white on a Bayern jersey, you must be out of your tiny little mind!?'

Well, despite what some think about Bayern's all-red offering, they're wrong. It's beautiful.

Already worn by the Bavarians on the final day of last season, the contrast of reds and new giant adidas logo work well together, while the sponsor remains as Bayern as it gets.

Let's see if it can work its magic and break the Harry Kane curse next season.

7. Real Valladolid away

Kappa's best shirt of the season - so far, at least - Real Valladolid will be one of La Liga's most fashionable sides in 2024/25. Their purple home shirts are always jazzy and this interesting away shirt is similarly neat.

Perhaps the most impressive thing about this shirt is that the crest changes colour. Yes, it actually changes colour. Not just a slight change either, the holographic badge genuinely shifts from blue to red.

Now that's ingenuity.

6. Leeds United away

While the crest on Leeds' new away jersey pays homage to their 1970s shirts, it does look an awful lot like a pringle. Seemingly, that's not a bad thing, with this particular jersey having been drooled over online since its release.

And it's pretty evident why: it's beautiful.

The yellow-blue combo is exquisite, the Red Bull sponsor certainly trumps recent sports betting sponsors and the collar is absolutely terrific.

Over 15,000 shirts were sold on the day of its release, which is a Leeds club record.

5. Liverpool Home

Liverpool face an uncertain 2024/25 season with Jurgen Klopp trading the Anfield dugout for a beach chair and a cold pint of Erdinger. Arne Slot will hope for the best in his debut campaign, but has big shoes to fill.

However, even if Liverpool are to fail next year, they'll look good while doing so. Their latest home shirt, and their final with Nike before a return to adidas, is gorgeous.

Inspired by the European Cup-winning 1984 side and their jerseys, it boasts a pinstripe pattern that spells out YNWA repeatedly.

4. Stoke City Home

Yes, Stoke City have made a good kit. And not just a good kit, an absolutely divine kit. Macron are pulling out all the stops this year.

The centralised Stoke crest and Macron logo look brilliant, albeit sitting on top of another horrible betting sponsor. But the clean white and red stripes and the sensational collar and cuffs more than make up for it.

Stoke's blackout away kit for the new campaign is terrific too, but this one just tops it.

3. Roma home

Roma have to be one of the best dressed sides in European football year after year, with pinstripes making a devastating comeback on the 2024/25 home jersey.

The Italian giants haven't done pinstripes on a home shirt since 1996/97 and this is a worthy successor to that famous vintage jersey.

After last year's beautiful trio of kits, adidas have followed up with another stunner this season.

2. Barcelona home

Barcelona are one of the few top European clubs who genuinely make an attempt to mix things up when it comes to their home jerseys.

Their 2024/25 shirt pays tribute to their 1999/00 centenary shirt and the first kit they ever wore in 1899, and it's simplicity is its greatest strength.

The half-and-half look always serves teams well and the gold accents pop, with the Spotify sponsor shining bright.

A shirt fit for the likes of Lamine Yamal, Pedri and Gavi to wear next term.

1. Cambridge United Home

Cambridge United have forged a reputation for their sensational kits in recent years, even if the football played in them has been far less attractive. Now in their second year with Umbro, they have another corker to wear next season.

Again, look at that collar. Look at those sleeve cuffs. Look at that outlandish sponsor.

There is no doubt that Cambridge United will be the best dressed team in League One next term.
