AS Monaco has officially revealed its third kit for the 2025–26 season, crafted in collaboration with Mizuno. Designed to capture the Principality’s unique luminosity, the new jersey combines a modern minimalist aesthetic with high-performance, environmentally conscious materials. This third kit continues the club’s tradition of innovative design while offering fans a visually striking alternative to the home and away shirts.
Design and Technical Features
The 2025–26 third jersey is built around a celestial yellow base, chosen to reflect the bright and vibrant character of Monaco. A subtle tone-on-tone embossed pattern radiates from the club crest, representing rays of sunlight and symbolizing energy and dynamism. This intricate design adds depth and texture without compromising the shirt’s minimalist approach.
Key detailing includes the AS Monaco crest and Mizuno “Runbird” logo in 3D black silicone, enhancing the premium feel of the kit. The iconic “Daghe Munegu” slogan is printed in black beneath the collar on the back, consistent with its appearance on the home and away shirts.
Constructed entirely from 100% recycled polyester, the jersey emphasizes sustainability alongside performance. The fabric incorporates advanced moisture-wicking and lightweight technologies typical of Mizuno’s high-performance sportswear, ensuring comfort and functionality on the pitch.
History and Inspiration
The design draws inspiration from both the Principality’s natural luminosity and the Japanese philosophy of “MA”, the art of balance. The interplay of sunrise-inspired yellow tones with contrasting shadows creates a refined visual harmony, aligning with Mizuno’s ethos of combining functionality with aesthetic elegance.
AS Monaco’s third kit also subtly references the club’s iconic location on the Rock of Monaco, with the sunburst motif radiating from the crest symbolizing energy emanating from the heart of the club. This symbolic element ties the modern design to the team’s heritage and identity.
Usage and Debut
The third kit will feature throughout the 2025–26 campaign in select domestic and European fixtures. Its launch was accompanied by an original campaign highlighting the Japanese concept of “MA,” showcasing the balance between light, shadow, and form. Fans can expect the jersey to be available in official retail outlets and online stores shortly after the unveiling, providing both players and supporters with a high-quality, sustainable option for the season.
