Inside Pompeii’s Immaculate Run of Football Shirts

Pompeii, the Madrid-based lifestyle brand, continues its streak of well-crafted football shirt designs with a new collection for Spanish Segunda División side Racing Santander. Released to commemorate the club’s 113th anniversary, the home and away jerseys build on the brand’s reputation for creating wearable, thoughtfully executed football gear.

Racing Santander Anniversary Kits

The home jersey features a polo collar and a dark green design that leans toward a refined, Riviera-inspired aesthetic rather than typical matchday wear. The away shirt adopts a half-white, half-green houndstooth pattern split cleanly down the centre.

Both shirts include a number of deliberate details — an embroidered crest, sharp cuff striping, and “RACING” printed across the back. The overall look feels bold yet balanced, designed to function both on and off the pitch.

Pompeii’s Growing Body of Football Work

This anniversary collection is not a one-off. Pompeii has been developing football-focused designs for several seasons, with each release reinforcing the brand’s position in the space. Before the Racing Santander kit, Pompeii partnered with Kappa to create Pompeii Club de Fútbol, a fictional club that produced a series of highly desirable shirts.

The first capsule in 2023 set the tone with proper striping, balanced silhouettes, and crests that felt archival rather than ironic. Season two followed with a silver away shirt in long sleeves, accompanied by pinstriped warm-up sets that transcended typical sportswear.

Design Philosophy and Execution

What distinguishes Pompeii’s approach is its restraint. The Racing Santander collection does not overload itself with references; instead, it complements the club’s existing identity. The half-and-half away shirt feels graphic yet grown-up, while the home shirt’s tonal triangular pattern rewards a second glance without overwhelming the design.

Even the track top, often treated as an afterthought by suppliers, carries the same cohesive design language. Every piece in the collection aligns visually and structurally.

Football Shirts Beyond the Stadium

Pompeii understands that football shirts have moved beyond the stadium. They are worn in cafés, galleries, and on city bikes, judged by people who care about cut and fabrication as much as league tables. Designing for that audience requires knowing when to stop — and Pompeii has consistently delivered clear, well-executed ideas that feel like clothes first and sportswear second.
