We’ve gotten our hands on the recently launched Portugal 2025 home jersey from PUMA Football after getting the inside scoop for a World Exclusive in-person look, and we’ve got to say – they’ve managed to keep it classic while throwing in some pretty slick modern touches that really work.
First thing you notice is that signature Portuguese red, but PUMA’s done something interesting here with the trim. Instead of going wild with accents everywhere, they’ve kept the green, white, and gold details just on the outside of the sleeve cuffs and collar. It’s a clean look that sets this jersey apart from previous years.
The whole jersey has this subtle embossed pattern featuring the Quinas symbol from Portugal’s coat of arms. It’s one of those details you might miss at first glance, but when you catch it in the right light, it adds this cool depth to the shirt without being flashy about it.
PUMA’s master designers clearly thought about how this thing performs in actual games. They’ve put ventilation zones along the sides and under the arms – crucial spots where you tend to heat up during a match. The dryCELL tech they’ve used actually works too – we took it for a runout and the sweat management was on point.
The branding is tastefully done – you’ve got the iconic PUMA Big Cat logo in white on the chest and sleeves, and that Portuguese Football Federation badge is beautifully detailed. The embroidery quality here is top-notch, giving the jersey that premium feel you want when you’re repping your team.
Fit-wise, they’ve nailed it. It’s got this relaxed cut that works whether you’re built like an elite athlete or just hitting the pub to watch the match. True to size too, so no need to size up or down – what you usually wear is what you should get here.
What we really dig is how versatile this jersey is. Sure, it’s made for matches, but it feels just as at home during a training session or just hanging out. It’s super lightweight, so you’re not feeling weighed down whether you’re making runs or running errands.
The crew neck design is worth mentioning again – it’s got this perfect balance where it looks sharp but doesn’t feel restrictive. That tri-color trim detail around the collar? Chef’s kiss. It’s subtle but adds that extra bit of style that sets it apart.
We put this through its paces during a pickup game, and the moisture-wicking really holds up. Instead of feeling like you’re wearing a wet towel twenty minutes in, the jersey keeps pulling moisture away from your skin. It stays feeling light even when you’re going hard.
Bottom line? PUMA’s done something pretty special with Portugal’s 2025 home kit. They’ve kept what works – that unmistakable red worn by Cristiano Ronaldo and company, the essential elements that make it unmistakably Portuguese – but added just enough new touches to make it feel fresh. Whether you’re playing in it or wearing it to support the team, this jersey delivers.
