With the FIFA Club World Cup in full swing and Real Madrid already unveiling their new home shirt in their tournament opener against Al-Hilal, attention has shifted to the club’s third kit for the 2025/26 season, with early leaks revealing a design steeped in legacy and purpose.
The new Adidas-designed third shirt is mostly blue with white accents and branding. It’s not simply the color that pays homage to Madrid’s historic past; the design and message behind it are what truly stand out.
The kit’s fabric design is inspired by the recently placed seating at the refurbished Santiago Bernabeu, evoking the curves of the stadium’s new seats and giving the jersey a modern yet vintage vibe.
What distinguishes this third uniform is the presence of a dramatic and symbolic jock tag inside the shirt: “90 Minuti en el Bernabeu son molto longo.” Reported By Madrid universe.
The term, notably said by Real Madrid legend Juanito, means “90 minutes at the Bernabeu is a very long time.”

It was first said during the 1984/85 UEFA Cup semi-final, when Madrid was trailing 2-0 to Inter Milan at the San Siro.
Juanito’s remarks were prescient when Real Madrid turned the game around at home, and his quote has since become the club’s mantra of persistence and belief.
This memorial, inserted inside the shirt, connects the current generation of players to Madrid’s never-say-die attitude, which defines the Bernabéu atmosphere.
Fans will also observe that the jersey’s shade of blue is similar to that of Los Blancos’ 2013/14 away kit, which was worn the same season the club won their long-awaited tenth European title, La Decima.
