Porto Home Kit 25/26 Revealed – Gold Details Mark 10-Year Milestone
FC Porto have officially unveiled their 2025/26 home kit, created by New Balance, celebrating a decade-long partnership between the Portuguese giants and the American sportswear brand. Marking 10 years of collaboration, the new home strip simplifies things visually after last season’s bolder design, offering a refined look that still carries plenty of meaning for fans and the club alike.
After a disappointing 3rd place finish in the 2024/25 Primeira Liga, Porto are entering a transitional summer. There’s mounting speculation around the future of key players like Otávio and Aghehowa, with club insiders hopeful they can keep the core of the squad together under a new-look leadership setup.
The launch of the new kit could be a symbolic reset – a clean slate, both on and off the pitch.
Design & Inspiration
This year’s design takes a cleaner approach than the 2024/25 kit, which featured heavy patterning across the stripes. The 25/26 version brings back a classic blue-and-white vertical stripe layout, but with a minimalist twist—sharper lines, fewer distractions, and a smart contrast that calls back to the club’s traditional heritage.
To honour their 10-year partnership, New Balance have added gold detailing to the logo on the chest, offering a premium touch that elevates the shirt's understated style. Inside the collar, the word “Anniversário” (Portuguese for "Anniversary") is printed—subtle, but symbolic of the occasion.
Blue shorts and white socks round out the home kit, echoing Porto’s iconic look from past eras.
Fan Reaction & Comparisons
While some supporters miss the more daring stripes of the 2024 edition, early fan feedback online suggests that this cleaner, heritage-inspired look has struck the right balance—particularly with the gold accents and nods to club tradition.
Side-by-side comparisons show a move towards restraint, with fewer graphic elements and a bigger focus on quality materials and subtle detailing.
Release Date & Availability
The Porto 25/26 home kit was officially launched on 28 May 2025, and is now available through the club store and selected online retailers. Fans can expect full player and fan versions to be stocked in a range of sizes.
Simple, symbolic, and smart—the Porto 25/26 home kit may not be the most flamboyant release of the year, but it succeeds in honouring a key milestone between club and manufacturer. As Porto look to rebuild on the pitch, this back-to-basics design could be just the grounding they need.
