Napoli have released their third kit for the 2025/26 season, a design built around the deep brown tones of roasted coffee and the club's longstanding association with Neapolitan espresso culture. The shirt, which 90min reports is available now through the club's online store and selected retailers, has been positioned as a celebration of one of Naples' most enduring civic identities.
The design takes its central colour from the coffee bean itself, a rich, dark brown that marks a notable departure from the sky blue the club wear as their primary colour. That sky blue is not absent entirely — it appears as an accent, threading the club's traditional palette through what is otherwise an earthier, warmer aesthetic. A Serie A tricolour shield completes the detailing, situating the shirt within the formal requirements of the Italian top flight.
Napoli have in recent seasons used their third and alternative kits to explore territory beyond the familiar azurro, and this release continues that pattern. The coffee reference is not incidental. Naples has one of the most distinctive espresso traditions in Europe, and the city's café culture — its rituals, its standing bars, its particular insistence on how the drink should be prepared and consumed — carries genuine cultural weight for residents and visitors alike. For a club that trades heavily on its connection to the city, the reference reads as considered rather than arbitrary.
The kit arrives as Napoli prepare for another Serie A campaign following a period of considerable turbulence and renewal at the club. Having won the Scudetto in 2022/23, their first league title in more than three decades, subsequent seasons brought significant upheaval in the dugout and in the squad. The club have been rebuilding their competitive identity, and their commercial releases — including the kit programme — have remained a point of consistent engagement with a global fanbase.
Whether the Café shirt will see regular first-team use across the coming season depends on fixture scheduling and kit rotation, but as a standalone object it appears to have been well received, at least on initial release. Third kits occupy an unusual space in modern football: worn infrequently enough to retain a certain novelty, they allow clubs greater creative latitude than home and away designs. Napoli appear to have used that latitude deliberately here.
The shirt is on sale now.
