Real Madrid’s third kit leaks, channel Cristiano Ronaldo’s glorious days

The third kit for Real Madrid’s upcoming 2025/26 season has leaked – it’s a stunning callback in the era of Santiago Bernabéu.

The kit is primarily dark blue and comes with clear white details, including the classic Adidas Trefoil logo, the “Emirate” sponsor and the brand’s signature three stripes on each shoulder.

Exported according to reliable kit Footsteps headlinesthe design was inspired directly by the new seats installed in the Bernabéu, part of a major renovation project completed by the end of 2024. The bold blue tone reflects the modern aesthetic of the remodeled stadium while nodding while paying tribute to Madrid’s rich football past.

The kit is also engraved in the Jock tag and inner collar with famous phrases: “90 Minuti en el Bernabéu son Molto Longo” – this sentence, the quote translated into “The 90 minutes in Bernabéu are a long time.”

This sentence was created by club legend Juanito. When Madrid squads left the stadium, Juanito warned an international player about what to expect in Chamartín’s second leg. His words fell in folklore after Madrid overturned the deficit in dramatic ways at home.

Interestingly, Real Madrid last time wearing similar shades of blue was in the 2017/18 season – Cristiano Ronaldo’s last campaign before the club moved to Juventus. However, this new 2025/26 design is more similar to the 2013/14 Awar Strip, which is also a rich blue with a white accent including shoulder straps.

For both Ronaldo and the club, the 2013/14 season was an unforgettable season. The Portuguese striker scored 51 goals in all competitions and helped Los Blancos win the Copa del Rey and Uefa Champions League titles. He ended his campaign by winning the Ballon d’Or for the third time in his career.

While this new third kit ensures Real Madrid’s view next season, fans’ hope is that the team can regain the dominance of Ronaldo’s peak era, especially after the disappointing 2024/25 campaign, ending without silverware.
