Villarreal CF unveils its new home kit for the 25/26 season
This changes everything. Villarreal CF unveiled its new home kit for the 2025–2026 season this Monday. While staying true to the iconic yellow colour that represents the club, this season’s jersey introduces a striking new feature: a bold blue stripe running vertically down the front of the shirt for the first time in the club’s history.
First-team players Thierno Barry and Ilias Akhomach took on the role of models for a day to show the world the Submarine’s new strip, which will be worn next season in three competitions: LaLiga, the UEFA Champions League, and the Copa del Rey.

Textile engineering applied to Villarreal CF kits
The new kit also showcases the result of Joma’s ongoing investment in R&D&I. The technologies applied to Villarreal CF’s home jersey aim to enhance both comfort and performance for the players.
‘Micro-Mesh system’: Ventilation panels are strategically placed in high-sweat areas. This system ensures optimal moisture management, keeping the body dry and thermally balanced even during moments of peak intensity.
‘Flatlock’ seams: These flat seams eliminate friction points and reduce the risk of chafing, providing greater comfort during movement.
Joma’s commitment to sustainable innovation
Sustainability is fully integrated as a key element of high performance in sports. At Joma, a brand committed to caring for the planet, the fusion of technology and environmental responsibility is fundamental to its values.
That’s why Villarreal CF’s 2025/26 home kit is made entirely from 100% recycled polyester. This technical fabric is produced by transforming plastic waste—especially PET bottles—into yarn, reducing CO₂ emissions from the production process by 75% and eliminating the use of fossil-based sources like petroleum. This approach minimizes the ecological footprint and allows the garment to carry the ECO label, aligning with international sustainability standards. Beyond its ecological impact, recycled polyester retains all the functional properties required for professional sports: durability, elasticity, and breathability.
