Real Madrid have done something this season they have never done before. The home shirt is still white, as it has been for over a century, but the black trim that has framed it for years is gone. In its place: dark green at the collar and cuffs, and sharp pink three stripes.
It is the first dark green ever used on a Madrid home shirt, and both colours come from the same place, the jewels in the club crest.
Here is the full 2026/27 collection, what each shirt costs in the UK and US, and which version is actually worth buying.

Real Madrid 2026/27 home kit
White base, as always. What changed is everything around it.
The black accents Madrid have used for several seasons are gone entirely. The collar and sleeve cuffs are now dark green, which is the first time that colour has appeared on a Madrid home shirt. The adidas three stripes across the shoulders are sharp pink. Both choices are drawn from the diamonds and pearls in the club crest, and the shirt carries an intricate pattern taken from the same source.
It is a bolder home shirt than Madrid usually produce, and the reaction has split accordingly. The green and pink combination reads as either a smart piece of crest-mining or an unnecessary departure from a shirt that did not need fixing, depending on who you ask.
The authentic version uses adidas Climacool+ with a knit jacquard construction, quick-dry fabric and perforated panels for airflow. The replica uses standard Climacool.
Price: £85 replica · £120 authentic (£130 long sleeve) · around $100 and $160 in the US Also available: kids kit £80, kids jersey £60, authentic shorts £45, home shorts £38, a cropped women’s jersey and a woven Anthem jacket
Real Madrid 2026/27 away kit
The one most people will buy, and the most interesting shirt in the set.
The base is a dark green that adidas call Aurora Ivy, carrying an all-over geometric pattern built from the club’s initials. Off-white detailing runs through the three stripes, the split crew-neck collar, the cuffs, the crest and the Emirates sponsor. The back has a tonal patterned finish with white RMCF lettering below the collar.
Two things make it notable. The first is that it sits in a line of green Madrid away shirts that fans associate with the club’s successful periods, which is why the colour lands as nostalgia rather than novelty. The second is the badge: this shirt carries the adidas Trefoil on the right chest rather than the performance logo.
That Trefoil matters more than it sounds. adidas have used the Originals Trefoil across a run of away shirts this season, and those have consistently been the best-received kits in their range. It also makes this a shirt that works as ordinary clothing in a way the home shirt does not.
The shorts are Aurora Ivy with off-white side stripes, and the socks are dark green with off-white bands, RMCF lettering and a Trefoil on the shin.
Price: £85 replica · £120 authentic Verdict: the pick of the three, and the one to buy if you want one Madrid shirt
Real Madrid 2026/27 third kit
Pink, and unapologetically so.
The third shirt uses a rich pink base with geometric textures woven into the fabric, drawing on Latin artistic craftsmanship, with off-white accents on the V-neck, cuffs, crest and three stripes. Madrid describe it as a nod to their global fanbase.
Pink is not new territory for Madrid, recent third and away shirts have used it, but this is the boldest execution yet. Third kits also have the shortest production runs of any shirt a club makes, which is worth knowing if you are buying as a collector rather than a wearer.
Price: £85 replica · £120 authentic Released: 12 August 2026
Real Madrid 2026/27 goalkeeper kit
Blacked out. adidas have kept it deliberately plain, which lets the outfield shirts carry the season’s colour story.
Price: £85 adult · £60 kids
Replica or authentic: which should you buy?
Both are official. They are built for different jobs.
The authentic is the shirt the players wear. Slim athletic cut, Climacool+ with knit jacquard and perforated panels, heat-pressed logos. adidas describe the fit as true to size, but it is a slim pattern, if you are between sizes or want room, go up.
The replica is made for supporters. Relaxed fit, embroidered crest, standard Climacool. It survives the washing machine better, which matters more than most buyers expect.
For most people the replica is correct, and the £35 gap is most of a second shirt. Buy authentic if you will actually play in it, or if you are framing it.
If you want more detail on how the two differ across brands, we covered that separately in our guide to [authentic versus replica soccer jerseys].
What a Real Madrid shirt actually costs
£85 for an adult replica puts Madrid in line with the big Premier League clubs rather than above them, Tottenham charge £90 and Chelsea £89.99 for comparison.
Where it adds up is everything else. Add personalisation and you are past £100. The authentic is £120, the long-sleeve authentic £130, and a kids kit £80.
Three ways to pay less:
Wait for January. Current-season shirts typically start discounting midway through the season, while the kit is still current for another five months.
Buy last season’s. Discounts of 20% to 50% land once a new kit launches.
Check the Originals range separately. The Trefoil away sometimes sits in a different part of adidas’s catalogue to the performance kits and gets discounted on its own cycle.
Where to buy, and how to avoid a fake
Real Madrid are one of the three most counterfeited shirts in world football. While researching this piece we found a site listing the away shirt at $19.99. It is not a clearance deal.
Buy from: the official Real Madrid store, adidas directly, or established retailers you recognise.
Before you pay anywhere else:
- Check the price. A current-season shirt at under £25 is counterfeit. There is no exception to this.
- Check the inner tags. Genuine shirts carry a hologram or security label, a style number and consistent branding across every care label. Mismatched fonts across tags is the clearest tell.
- Check the SKU. adidas product codes are public. The home authentic is JZ7218, the home replica JZ7206, the away authentic JZ7219 and the away replica JZ7205. A seller who cannot give you a code that matches is worth avoiding.
- Check the crest. On a genuine replica it is embroidered cleanly, no loose threads, no colour bleed.

Is the Real Madrid authentic jersey worth it?
Only if you will play in it or you are collecting. It uses Climacool+ with a knit jacquard build and heat-pressed logos, but it is cut slim and the heat-pressed graphics need more careful washing. For wearing to matches and at weekends, the replica is the better buy.
Does the Real Madrid jersey run true to size?

The original adidas logo, used on the Originals range rather than the performance range. adidas put it on a number of away shirts this season, and those have been among the best received of the year.
Which Real Madrid 2026/27 kit is the best?
The away. The Aurora Ivy green, the crest-derived pattern and the Trefoil make it the most complete design of the three, and it is the easiest of them to wear away from matchdays.
Our Final Recommendation
Buy the away. It is the best-designed shirt Madrid have produced in several seasons, the Trefoil makes it wearable off the pitch, and at £85 it costs the same as the home.Buy the replica rather than the authentic unless you are going to play in it. And buy from the club store, adidas or a retailer you recognise, the counterfeits on this particular shirt are everywhere.
