Paris Saint-Germain have released their third kit for the 2025/26 season, a retro-influenced design that according to 90min draws deliberate inspiration from Nike's Total 90 era — a period broadly associated with the bold, technically-minded aesthetics of the early 2000s.
The strip joins a wider trend of clubs and manufacturers reaching back into their archives for visual reference points, a movement that has gathered pace across European football over the past several seasons. Nike, who supply PSG, have leaned into Total 90 nostalgia across a number of their club partnerships in recent years, and the new Paris third kit appears to sit squarely within that design language.
PSG have historically used their third kit with some freedom, treating it as a canvas for more experimental choices than their home and away strips typically allow. The club's commercial and aesthetic ambitions have grown considerably since their ownership change in 2011, and kit releases now arrive with the kind of deliberate positioning more common to fashion houses than football clubs. A retro-inspired design, in that context, reads less as a nostalgic gesture and more as a considered one.
The Total 90 range itself occupied a particular moment in football's visual history — angular, synthetic, unapologetically of its time. Its rehabilitation as a reference point says something about how football supporters now relate to that period: close enough to remember warmly, distant enough to romanticise. Whether the new strip captures that feeling convincingly is, as ever, a matter of individual taste.
No further details about the kit's specific colourway, trim, or release pricing were included in the 90min report. The strip is expected to be available as part of PSG's broader 2025/26 commercial rollout.
