Real Betis Balompié and Hummel have unveiled the club’s new 2025/26 home kit, a design that masterfully combines the club’s historic green-and-white identity with refined modern details. As one of Spain’s most distinctive football shirts, the new release underscores Betis’ commitment to heritage, innovation, and cultural pride while preparing the team for another exciting La Liga campaign.
Design and Technical Features
The 2025/26 home shirt retains Betis’ hallmark green and white vertical stripes, a core element of the club’s visual DNA. For this season, the stripes are slightly wider, creating a bolder, more imposing look that reinforces the club’s classic aesthetic.
The shirt is crafted using advanced Jacquard fabric with an updated yarn structure designed to improve durability, texture, and overall performance. This ensures a high-quality finish that combines comfort with long-lasting wear, both on the pitch and in the stands.
Retro-style embroidery is applied to both the club crest and Hummel logo, bridging modern manufacturing techniques with a vintage-inspired aesthetic. Hummel’s iconic chevrons run along the shoulders and sides in crisp white, adding a dynamic touch that enhances the shirt’s contemporary silhouette.
The collar carries a cultural detail unique to this season: the inside neck features the phrase “Verde, verde como el equipo de mi ciudad” – “Green, green like the team of my city”. This tribute to Sevillian singer María Jiménez reflects the deep connection between Real Betis and the local community, embedding a piece of Andalusian culture into the jersey itself.
Completing the kit, black shorts return to the home strip, a decision that mirrors the team’s look during the 2021/22 Copa del Rey triumph and the 2022/23 campaign. Solid green socks round off the ensemble, though fans will also find an alternative version pairing white socks with black shorts for select matches.
History and Inspiration
Real Betis has long been synonymous with green and white vertical stripes – a design that first appeared in the early 20th century and quickly became a symbol of the club’s identity. By opting for wider stripes and embroidered detailing, Hummel pays homage to iconic Betis kits of the past while ensuring a forward-looking interpretation for 2025/26.
The inclusion of the María Jiménez lyric is a significant cultural nod. Jiménez, a legendary figure in Seville’s music scene, is celebrated for her song “Verde, verde”, which resonates deeply with the city and its footballing traditions. By weaving this reference into the collar, Hummel reinforces the emotional bond between club, city, and supporters.
Usage and Debut
The new home kit was officially launched ahead of the 2025/26 La Liga season, with Real Betis set to wear it throughout domestic and potential European competitions. The debut is expected during the team’s opening home fixture, accompanied by a marketing campaign highlighting the themes of tradition, innovation, and cultural pride.
