AS Monaco have unveiled their new home kit for the 2025/26 season – with a post-release assist from new signing Paul Pogba.

The shirt marks the club’s first-ever collaboration with Mizuno, their new technical partner, and pays tribute to Monaco’s history with a contemporary twist.

While the iconic red and white diagonal stripe remains front and centre, the shirt also features a unique embossed striped pattern – subtle vertical bands that nod to the kits worn by Monaco players before the diagonal was introduced, including the one they wore when winning their first major trophy, the Coupe de France, in June 1960.

Numerous fine details round out the design: a redesigned Japanese-style collar, gold piping on the sleeves, and the club’s slogan, “Daghe Munegu” (“Go Monaco!”), printed in gold lettering below the back of the collar.

The shirt was officially revealed in a short, stylish video featuring several club stars – including Takumi Minamino, Mika Biereth and Aleksandr Golovin – posing along the Monaco coastline.

But the drop didn’t stop there.

A day later, Monaco unveiled the sensational signing of Paul Pogba, who returns to football after an 18-month doping ban. In his first official appearance for the club, Pogba posed proudly in the new kit.

He certainly looked the part – but after such a long spell on the sidelines, it remains to be seen whether he can walk the walk once more.

One thing’s for sure: if Monaco can reignite the fire in the 2018 World Cup winner, they’ll have a world-class talent back on their hands – and he’ll look good doing it.
