Real Madrid have presented their new adidas away shirt for the 2013/14 season. The kit takes inspiration from the successful early years of the club in the 30s ,40s and 50s when Los Blancos grow into, arguably, the most recognised club side in world football. It's fair to say adidas have served up a beaut for Ancelotti's boys...

For the very first time this new kit uses a "melange" fabric which includes a cotton finish, helping to achieve the retro look that has been inspired by some of the club's former jerseys whilst also featuring all of adidas' latest technologies. The new shirt has an almost training kit style look to it and in our opinion is easily one of the best away kits we've seen this summer. Simple and smart, it's a replica shirt that gives off a casual old school vibe.



After releasing the new home kit, adidas and Real Madrid wanted to create an away kit that was inspired by an unmistakable retro style. The combination of colours, royal blue with white, mimics some of the away kits worn during the illustrious period of the 30s, 40s and 50s. Refreshed this time with a touch of orange creating a continuous link in style with the home shirt.




The shorts and socks are the same colour as the shirt to give the kit a distinctive and full look. Ronaldo and Co will get the chance to kit up in the new Real Madrid strip when they travel to Granada on August 25 for their first La Liga away game. Real Madrid will have to improve on their away record from last season if they're to have any hope of winning the title, the club failed to win 10 of their 19 games on the road last season.

Manchester United have revealed their new Nike away kit for the 2013/14 season. The new away shirt was unveiled during the club’s pre-season tour in Japan and features the gingham check used on last season’s home shirt with a bigger, bolder design. Gingham style is back.

After the launch of the new home kit United fans thought they'd seen the back of the design, but the new away shirt has been brutally beaten with the Gingham stick again. It may have received a lot of 'tea towel' jibes last season but gingham returns to represent the city’s proud industrial heritage.



The shirt features large black and midnight navy gingham checks, the collar is a black round neck and on the back of shirt, on the neck, is a white woven devil from the United club crest. The club crest at the heart of the jersey is an embroidered monochromatic midnight navy and white.



The new away shorts are midnight navy with a thin navy blue stripe on the hem at the back while the new away socks are navy blue with a white stripe between two black stripes, with the traditional United bar design. United have a long history of wearing blue kits dating back as far as 1902 and famously worn by Matt Busby’s men to lift the European Cup at Wembley in 1968.




United's first chance to wear the new away kit in a Premier League game will be their league opener at Swansea on 17 August, failing that it'll definitely be on show when they travel to Anfield on 1 September. Controversial design visually, but the story behind it is a nice touch. We don't know whether to feel angry or confused... or both.

CFC and adidas have set a high bar for their new uniforms. Thanks to smart line of home, away and third kits, Mourinho's men will be some of the league's best dressed. Today attentions turn to their new third kit and if you believe the tagline, Chelsea will be 'leaving a Blue mark on this season' - be it in blue, white or black.

The smart kit will sit alongside Chelsea's blue home strip and white away kit. When neither of these kits fit the bill Mourinhos's men will go back to black, just as they did last season. This year though adidas have ditched the yellow in favour of a more elegant and traditional design. Top marks from us.

     

The kit imagery features some of Chelsea's star players dripping blue paint as per the memorable launch campaign from earlier this year. The lead colour for Chelsea's new shirt may be black like last season, but the luminous yellow stripes have been shed and replaced with a simple set of three white stripes on each shoulder. The new design is much easier on the eye and sits nicely alongside the stylish home and away shirts.



Chelsea had a great end to last season finishing third in the Premier League and winning the Europa League. Now with Mourinho back at the helm they're once again serious title contenders for the Premier League title. Now that all three kits released Chelsea will be looking to kick off the season in style.



It's been another successful replica season for adidas. The three stripes have delivered some of the years best looking strips from AC Milan to Bayern Munich, to Chelsea and Real Madrid. However, the less said about that Marseille away shirt the better! So with the Europa League champions now fully kitted out, Chelsea fan's are you #allin or #allout?

French Champions Paris Saint-Germain will play in a predominantly white away kit this season in their hunt for more silverware. The new shirt features colour-blocking of red, white and blue to celebrate the side’s famous club colours.

The shirt has a tri-colour design — blue at the top, white in the middle and red at the bottom — giving it an appearance that reflects club’s attachment to Paris. The colour-blocking evolved from the distinctive vertical stripes that have traditionally appeared on the home shirt, with each colour representing a different club value: blue for grandeur, red to convey passion and white for respect.




Jersey details include a blue ribbed V-neck collar that blends into the top of the shirt, and a contrasting ribbed blue cuff on the sleeves. The new away shorts are white with a thin blue stripe along each side, and the socks are white with a blue-and-red band at the top, and the more traditional blue-and red-stripe on the back to give players greater visual acuity on the pitch.




Basically, the blue and white is reversed from the home shirt... The Ligue 1 champions kick off their domestic campaign with a trip to Montpellier on August 9 where Ibra and team-mates are expected to wear the new Nike away kit for the first time competitively.

Celtic and Nike have revealed the club's new away kit for the 2013/14 season, which kicks off early next month. The Scottish champions have been hooked up with a yellow away jersey featuring seven green hoops on the chest.

After a momentous 125th anniversary campaign —notable for a stunning Champions League victory over Barcelona, qualification for the knockout stages of the Champions League and a domestic League and SFA Cup double —the Glasgow giants have a new contemporary on-field look for next season.



The seven hoops on the new away shirt (as on the home shirt) are inspired by some of the club’s greatest players — such as Jimmy Johnstone and Henrik Larsson, who wore the No. 7 shirt. The new Celtic 2013/14 away shirt has a green v-neck collar with matching green sleeve cuffs. The shorts are also green to create a typical Celtic feel.




Yellow and green away kits have become a bit of tradition with Celtic, the club first wore the colours on their travels in the 1970/71 season and have gone on to wear numerous versions with the most recent featuring in 2008/09.

The SPL is one of the first leagues in Europe to kick off their campaign as Celtic host Ross County on August the 3rd before getting a chance to kit up in their new strip when they visit Aberdeen a couple of weeks later.

Bayern Munich have launched a new third shirt for the 2013/14 campaign. The European Champions' new adidas shirt will mainly be worn in the club's Champions League away games next season and is another top design to accompany their impressive home kit. 

The new third shirt features 3 shades of vertical blue stripes with darker sleeves and traditional red adidas stripes on the shoulders to represent the Bayern home shirt. The four gold stars above the club's badge represent 20 Bundesliga titles, even though Bayern have won 23 titles; they have to win 25 before they earn another star.



Bayern have already revealed their 2013/14 home shirt, which is up there with the best we've seen this summer and the new third shirt ain't too shabby either. On the back of the neck features the slogan “Mia san mia” (meaning 'We are who we are') embodying the spirit of FC Bayern. The new shirt incorporates adidas' climacool fabric for enhanced breathability and improved performance.





The pressure is on for Pep as he's inherited a team that picked up the club's fifth European title and a squad that is currently tipped by many as the best in the world, add to that Thiago and Mario Gotze and Bayern have got themselves another tasty looking set up to don the new third shirt as they look to retain their European silverware.



We love a third shirt, brands get experimental and explore options that they wouldn't normally feature on a home or away shirt and after supplying Bayern with a quality third kit last season adidas have once again come up with a distinctively cool strip for the German giants to kick off their new era.

Manchester City have gone back to black for their 2013/14 away kit unveiled today by Nike. This is Nike's first crack at a City kit, having signed a new six year deal with the team who recently partnered the New York Yankees to create NYCFC. The home kit was a simple and stylish affair, but it's the away kit where Nike have really made their stamp. 

Manchester City's traditional sky blue shirt doesn't leave much room for creativity, but this away strip is a far cry from last season's Umbro design. The red and black stripes have been ditched and in their place is a two tone black and charcoal design with gold details.



The subtle half-and-half design is a graphic element that reflects the clubs history. City were founded as St Mark’s in 1880 before becoming Gorton AFC in 1884, and then Ardwick AFC between 1887 and 1894. The design of the new away strip is a reflection of Ardwick AFC's design in the 1890-91 season and the colours represent Gorton AFC, who played in black.



The grandad style collar finishes the shirt off nicely producing a classy looking strip that's a contender for best looking kit of the year. The Manchester City crest, Nike Swoosh and sponsor’s logo are all in gold to reflect the Club’s most recent successes.

   

The shirt is complimented by black shorts with a gold emblem on the right leg and a gold Nike Swoosh on the left. The socks are also black but with a dark charcoal band at the top and a gold Swoosh on both legs.





Joe Hart is also seen modelling the new goalkeeper's strip which now features two hues of yellow with a black trim. Fernandinho's was the only MCFC new-boy to feature in the photoshoot alongside Matija Nastasic, James Milner, club captain Vincent Kompany, Pablo Zabaleta and Joleon Lescott.

Italian Champions Juventus present their new Nike away kit for the 2013/14 season. The shirt is drenched in a colour scheme that reflects the club's strong link to its home city of Turin and is inspired by Juve's winning past.

The shirt worn by Juventus during their glorious 1983-84 Cup Winners’ Cup victory serves as specific inspiration for the new jersey. The sleeves are edged with two horizontal stripes in black and white to reflect the traditional colours of Juventus and to create a contemporary look.



The shirt has a stylish polo cut and modern fit. Design details include a yellow collar with black and white border, and the club shield with founding year 1897 set inside the neck. Two side splits in the shirt with contrasting blue inserts match the shorts. The new away shorts are blue with a yellow Swoosh at the hem of the left leg, and the socks are yellow.

   

Juventus' new away shirt is similar to the new Arsenal away shirt that was unveiled earlier this week as Nike have opted to re-introduce the classic polo shirt collar, also found on the new Manchester United home shirt. Overall it's a decent looking bit of kit in our eyes. You've seen the kit, now have a scroll up and take another look at Pirlo's superbly masculine beard. Magnificent.

Like all of Nike's new kits, the Juve shirt is made with Nike's Dri-FIT technology. The kit weighs just 150 grams, 23 percent lighter than previous kits. It boasts a 20 percent stronger knit structure and significantly improved stretch. Nikes commitment to the environment continues with the shirt and shorts of each kit being made from up to 13 recycled plastic water bottles.
