New Zealand Football has released their 2025 retro home and away kits by technical partner PUMA. The new throwback home jersey made its on the pitch debut in New Zealand’s Soccer Ashes loss against Australia on September 5, 2025.
The 2025 retro home kit represents a deliberate homage to New Zealand’s football heritage, featuring the iconic all-white design that earned the national team their “All Whites” nickname. This design choice specifically honors the legendary 1982 squad that achieved historic qualification for the FIFA World Cup in Spain, marking New Zealand’s first appearance on football’s biggest stage. The predominantly white jersey features black trim on the collar and sleeve cuffs, maintaining the clean, classic aesthetic that defined the original kit.
PUMA has incorporated vintage-inspired design elements throughout both kits, with the home jersey displaying a distinctive v-neck collar with white and black detailing. The jersey prominently features both a classic PUMA logo and New Zealand’s silver fern emblem on the chest, while “AOTEAROA” appears across the upper back. The retro styling creates a bridge between New Zealand’s football past and present, appealing to both longtime supporters and new generations of fans.
The New Zealand 2025 PUMA retro away shirt mirrors the home jersey’s retro aesthetic while inverting the color scheme to predominantly black with white accents. This design maintains consistency with the vintage-inspired approach while providing the necessary contrast for away fixtures. Both jerseys feature the same collar styling and placement of logos, ensuring visual cohesion across the kit range.
