The best whiteout football jerseys From Real Madrid to Tottenham

An all-white football shirt carries with it a sense of heritage, understated elegance, and visual purity. It feels timeless, almost suspended between sport and style. Unsurprisingly, the whiteout aesthetic has recently been embraced by clubs and brands alike, used both for celebratory releases and for special-edition kits designed to convey deeper cultural or social messages.

Vélez Sarsfield

In 2024, Diadora subtly reinterpreted Vélez Sarsfield’s iconic blue V on white, transforming the Home jersey into a refined whiteout anniversary edition. The graphic was recreated using soft grey accents, resulting in a sophisticated tone-on-tone effect where excerpts from the club’s founding statute quietly shaped the V itself.

Aarau

Polo collar. Three-button fastening. Textured sleeve cuffs. A 3D-effect club crest. Everything strictly white. This was the special jersey designed by Swedish sportswear brand Craft for Aarau. The shirt, however, never truly existed in its purest form on the pitch: for Swiss Cup matches—the competition it was created for—it was ultimately finished with black patches and contrasting details.

Olympique de Marseille

To celebrate Olympique de Marseille’s 125th anniversary, PUMA unveiled an elegant, stripped-back jersey in September 2024. Entirely white in every detail, the only contrast came from the club crest, applied in a vintage version of OM’s signature blue. A minimalist statement that bridged football heritage and contemporary design, instantly turning the shirt into a collector’s item.

Tottenham Hotspur

For Tottenham Hotspur supporters, this jersey may be tied to bittersweet memories, having been worn during the FA Cup defeat to Aston Villa in the 2025/26 third round. Still, as a design object, the whiteout kit stands as a visual triumph. Created to mark the 125th anniversary of Spurs’ historic FA Cup victory, it pays tribute to the moment that saw the club become the first—and still the only—non-professional side to lift the world’s oldest cup competition.

Arsenal

Arsenal are arguably the club that has most successfully embraced the whiteout concept, translating it into a powerful visual language through their “No More Red” campaign. A simple yet impactful initiative aimed at protecting young people from violence and crime. Since 2021, the Gunners have stripped their FA Cup kits of red entirely, creating instantly recognisable shirts that sit at the intersection of sport, activism, and design.

Real Madrid

Perhaps the most iconic whiteout jersey ever produced: the Real Madrid shirt created in collaboration with adidas and Parley for the Oceans in 2016. Crafted from fabric made using plastic waste recovered from the waters surrounding the Maldives, the kit became legendary when the Blancos wore it against Sporting Gijón. Heavy rain at the Bernabéu caused the tone-on-tone logos to almost disappear, turning the match into an unforgettable visual moment.

Glasgow Rangers

Castore also explored the whiteout aesthetic with the jersey produced for the Glasgow Rangers in 2021, released as part of the club’s 150th-anniversary celebrations. The design faithfully echoed the Rangers’ first-ever official kit, elevated by a slightly offset three-button collar closure and subtly disrupted by blue logo applications.
