While jerseys can be hit-and-miss, the five below certainly nailed it and will be surely be copped by their fans as well as neutrals:
Barcelona (away)
The Blaugrana opted for a black and gold colour combination for their away jersey and evidently, it looks stellar.
While the gold stripe on the sleeve and the collar adds to the aesthetic of the jersey, what stands out is the black and gold colourway being integrated into the club badge as well as the sponsor logos. A stunning jersey for some of the world’s finest players.
Bayern Munich (home)
Year in and year out, the Bayern Munich home jersey is consistently one of the best in Europe.
Partly owned by jersey sponsors Adidas, the German sporting giants have always designed terrific jerseys for the eight-time reigning Bundesliga champions.

The iconic red jersey has barely visible stripes through the center that add some suave to an already outstanding looking jersey. The Adidas stripes on the sides and the thin white edge on the sleeves and the collar also add to the jersey’s overall look.
Juventus (home)
After ditching their iconic black stripes on a white kit last season, Juventus have gone back to their roots and the result is outstanding.
