"Christmas is just around the corner, which means that many clubs in the Premier League, LaLiga, Bundesliga, Serie A and Ligue 1 have stocked their official stores with Yuletide knitwear. The Christmas sweater used to be a bit of an afterthought for the big clubs, with many content to merely offer fans a cheap acrylic pullover or two. However, times have changed and the game has most definitely been upped in recent years."
"Rating: 6/10 Based on the club's classic home shirt from 2005-06, their final season at their old Highbury stadium, Arsenal's retro-inspired Christmas sweater is a vision in redcurrant and gold. The theme is "Walking in a Highbury Wonderland" and features a plethora of tasteful festive flourishes -- the highlight being the faux Premier League patches on the sleeves, with the emblem of a roaring lion being reimagined as a reindeer."
Major clubs across the Premier League, LaLiga, Bundesliga, Serie A and Ligue 1 are offering a wide range of festive knitwear in their official stores. Christmas sweaters have moved beyond cheap acrylic pullovers to more elaborate, fashion-forward designs. Seasonal staples such as Santa, reindeer, snowflakes and wreaths remain common, while 2025 has seen a surge in designs inspired by 1990s retro kits that suit the ugly sweater aesthetic. Milan released a white jumper with a Nordic pattern of fir trees and gnomes, while Arsenal produced a redcurrant-and-gold retro jumper themed "Walking in a Highbury Wonderland" with faux Premier League sleeve patches.
