2018-19 kits: Every new, official home and away jerseys for Barcelona, Man Utd, Liverpool & more

With the domestic season set to begin again, Goal takes a look at the new strips each major European club will be sporting during the 2018-19 campaign

AC Milan - Home

AC Milan have parted ways with Adidas for 2018-19 and, for the first time ever, Puma are the manufacturers of the club's new kits.
Naturally, the Serie A giants retain their iconic red and black stripes, but there are some slight alterations in style, with a button-up collar being incorporated.
The 'Diavolo Rossonero' (Red and Black Devil) features on the back of the neck as a tribute to the club's founder Herber Kilbin, who once said his team would be "a team of devils. We'll be red like the flames that will animate our souls and black like the fear our opponents will feel."

Ajax - Home

Ajax's home kit for the 2018-19 campaign retains the club's traditional red and white design, with a vertical red stripe flanked by white on either side of the chest and back.
Adidas' famous three stripes occupy the shoulders and they are red in colour, while Amsterdam's iconic trio of St Andrew's crosses are present on the back of the neck.
 

Ajax - Away

Ajax launched their new away kit on their social media channels at the end of April, asking their fans to give it a rating from one to 10.

 The reaction was largely positive, with supporters mostly praising the new dark away jersey.
 

Arsenal - Home

Arsenal's first home shirt since the departure of Arsene Wenger features red stripes on the white sleeves, as well as a diamond pattern on the front of the strip.
White shorts and socks complete the kit.

Arsenal - Away

The Gunners have gone for a two-tone navy blue and red jersey for their away games next season - quite a change from last season's lighter effort.
The shorts are a blend of the two colours, while the socks are mostly navy blue with a red stripe on the top.

Atletico Madrid - Home

The Europa League holders's new kit continues the traditional them of red and whit stripes as the Rojiblancos look for an improved campaign in both La Liga and the Champions League under Diego Simeone.

Barcelona - Home

The new Barcelona strip features the iconic blue and garnet-coloured stripes, with the shirt designed to unite the 10 districts of the city of Barcelona.

Ernesto Valverde's side displayed the kit for the first time in their Liga finale against Sociedad.

Barcelona - Away

Barcelona's new away kit for 2018-19 takes its inspiration from that worn by the swashbuckling side of 2005-06 - featuring the likes of Ronaldinho, Deco and Samuel Eto'o - that swept to Liga and Champions League glory that season.
It is a striking yellow colour and strips of the famous blaugrana can be found on the sleeves.


Bayern Munich - Home

Bundesliga winners Bayern will again wear their trademark red shirt and shorts, as well as marine blue shorts.
The new shoulder stripes pay homage to the treble winning side of 2012-13, when Jupp Heynckes guided the Bavarians to the domestic double and the Champions League.

 

Borussia Dortmund - Home

The new Borussia Dortmund home kit is predominantly yellow, as you'd expect, with the chest area of the jersey solidly so.
A v-neck collar is incorporated and black adorns the sleeves with a thick yellow stripe breaking through.

Chelsea - Home

The 2018-19 season will see Chelsea remain in their famous royal blue, but with flourishes of red and white half-stripes added to the shirt.
The blue shorts and white socks, with a blue and red trim, are inspired by strips from the 1980s and 1990s.

Juventus - Home

Juventus' new kit for 2018-19, made by Adidas, features thicker vertical stripes than recent seasons but the team's customary three stars above their crest remain.

Liverpool - Home

Liverpool's New Balance home kit for the 2018-19 campaign retains the popular pepper red colouring and pays tribute to the victims of the Hillsborough disaster by including the eternal flame on the neck of the shirt.

 

Liverpool - Away

Jurgen Klopp's side will wear a deep violet shirt when playing away from Anfield next season, with the kit including homages to the club's new Main Stand and those that died in the Hillsborough disaster.
The last time the Merseyside outfit wore a similar colour came in 2013-14 when their third kit included purple and they finished second in the Premier League - can they go one better next term?

Manchester City - Home

Manchester City have revealed a kit which commemorates the club's first ever title triumph in 1937.
In the club's iconic blue colour, the new strip has speed blur stripes along the arms and shoulders, along with a button detail on the collar, with navy socks and white shorts completing the kit.

Manchester United - Third

Manchester United's retro third strip is inspired by the royal blue worn by the club when they won the 1968 European Cup. The kit will be worn for the first time on the club's pre-season tour of the United States.


 PSG home kit 18-19

PSG - Home

Paris Saint-Germain have continued to refresh their traditional design, though hardcore fans will be disappointed to see the complete disappearance of the club's traditional white band on the front of their kit.

 

Real Madrid - Home

Real Madrid's iconic white home shirt has been altered slightly for 2018-19, with black replacing the striking turquoise blue on the Adidas shoulder stripes and the sponsor's logo. As well as that, a buttoned collar has returned.
As the reigning Club World Cup winners, the gold logo denoting their status as global champions remains for a second season in succession.
The design recalls the kit worn by Los Blancos in 2002, when they won La Novena.
 

Real Madrid - Away

Real Madrid's away kit for 2018-19 is not much of a departure from the previous season's, but, like the home version, the turquoise colour has been ditched from the design.
The chief colour is metallic black, while the Adidas stripes, which feature on the shoulders, and the collar are a slightly lighter grey. The sponsor and manufacturer's logos are white, which contrasts boldly against the black.
As with the home kit, the golden Club World Cup symbol features on the chest.

Roma - Home

The base of Roma's 2018-19 home kit is formed by 'Lorica Hamata', the chainmail armor worn by soldiers in ancient Rome, as a way of displaying 'the unbreakable bond between the club, the city and the fans'. 

Roma - Away

Roma's away kit for the 2018-19 season is all grey in what Nike says is a tribute to the Capitoline Wolf, which is the iconic ancient symbol of the Italian capital.
“A classy wolf grey kit fits well with the mythology surrounding the city and how the club places great value on this important symbol,” said Nike Football senior design director, Pete Hoppins.
The lupetto - Italian for 'little wolf' - also makes an appearance on the back of the jersey after last being incorporated into the design in 2016.
