The wait is over for the Rossoneri nation! AC Milan and PUMA have officially revealed the sacred jersey that the players will wear for the 2025/2026 season. The new home shirt is a piece that seeks to balance the club's rich history with a design audacity that is already causing a stir, mainly due to a historic decision: the debut of a monochrome crest.
Inspired by the timeless phrase from one of the club's founders, Herbert Kilpin – "Our colors will be red like flames and black like the fear we will invoke in our opponents" – PUMA sought to bring this fiery sentiment into the fabric. Let's dive into the details that make this one of the most talked-about shirts of the year.
Design Analysis: The Devil is in the Details
At first glance, the design respects tradition with the iconic vertical red and black stripes. However, a closer look reveals the innovations:
- The Controversial Monochrome Crest: For the first time in the club's history, the home shirt features the AC Milan crest entirely in white. This is the most significant and bold change, modernizing the look, but it has also generated intense debate among more traditionalist fans. The intention is to create a cleaner, more elegant look.
- "Diavolo" Embossed Pattern: Running through the stripes, there is a subtle embossed pattern that alludes to flames or the figure of the "Diavolo" (Devil), the club's historic nickname. It's a touch that celebrates the team's and its fans' identity and ardent passion.
- Cut and Collar: The shirt features a modern, athletic cut, finished with a simple round neck collar that shifts all the focus to the stripes and the new crest. The kit is complemented by black shorts and socks, maintaining a classic and imposing aesthetic.
PUMA Technology: Performance for the Stars on the Pitch
Beyond the design, the new Milan 25/26 shirt comes equipped with the latest in PUMA's sportswear technology. Both the "Authentic" version, worn by the players, and the "Replica" version for the fans are made with high-performance fabrics.
- dry-CELL Technology: Ensures maximum breathability, wicking sweat away from the skin to keep players (and fans) dry and comfortable, whether on the San Siro pitch or celebrating a goal on the couch.
- Lightweight Construction: The ultra-light material ensures total freedom of movement, essential for high performance in modern football.
What About the Other Kits? Leaks of the Third Uniform
While the home kit has already been launched, the eyes of the curious are turned towards leaks of the alternate uniforms. Images circulating on the internet suggest that the third AC Milan shirt for 2025/2026 will be a vibrant yellow with dark green details on the collar, a combination that some fans have interpreted as a tribute to the legendary Brazilian stars who have played for the club.
