Paris Saint-Germain enjoyed a spectacular 2025/26 season, winning Ligue 1 for the fifth consecutive season, before beating Premier League champions Arsenal in Budapest to win their second UEFA Champions League title in two years.
Now, the team heads into the new campaign as one of the favourites to win it all once again. Just like their performances on the field in recent years, the French champions have also been turning heads with their new kit designs over the summer.
It has already been a few months since PSG revealed the designs for their home and away kits, which follows the club’s classic blue, white and red colour palette. Recently, a new “Nike Energy” jersey variant has also been revealed, and the design is a stark contrast to the traditional home and away kits.
While this shirt is fully equipped for strenuous activity and could in theory be used while playing football, PSG has released it as a lifestyle-performance crossover piece, which means the team will not be wearing it during games.
For this reason, the team’s principal commercial sponsor, Qatar Airways, is also not mentioned in the centre of the shirt unlike the kits which are meant for match use.
Though it looks an awful lot like a concept kit or a fan-made design, the jersey is in fact an official launch, and it is already available for purchase on the official PSG website, priced at €75.
With a slightly wide collar and drop-shoulder sleeves, this kit appears to follow a more retro-looking or vintage aesthetic. A mint/sea-green and white gradient runs over the entirety of the jersey, with darker emerald green concentrated through the central and lower torso.
Unlike the other kits, which has distinct and clearly marked divisions, the stripes on this shirt are barely noticable and blend into one another. The collar and sleeve cuffs are bright red in colour, offering a sharp contrast to the rest of the shirt which is sure to catch the eye.
Under the polo collar is a small V-shaped opening, which once again ties into the vintage football-shirt aesthetic.
Instead of the sponsor, the centre of the shirt contains a graphic offering homage to the French capital. PARIS is printed normally in large white letters, while PANAME is positioned underneath it, upside-down.
This references a lesser-known fact about the city. “Paname” is an affectionate nickname coined for the city of Paris and the suburbs surrounding it. People often use it in everyday slang, poetry, French hip-hop, and classic songs. It originated sometime in the 19th century, as Panama hats suddenly gained popularity amongst the ever-fashionable Parisian citizens.
Interestingly, this shirt appears to share similarities with the home kit of another football club based in the French capital, Red Star Paris, which plays in Ligue 2.
While some parallels can be drawn between PSG and Red Star’s kit designs, the two organisations are otherwise poles apart in terms of principle and ethos.
While PSG is a European superpower that is now also an instantly recognisable brand, operating out of the affluent south-west district of Paris, Red Star prides itself on being indie and anti-commercial, based in the working-class northern suburb of Saint-Ouen-sur-Seine.
