Glasgow City launched their 2025/26 home kit with a unique twist, selling it before fans knew which team it belonged to or what it looked like. The unseen kit has become the fastest-selling shirt in City history.
The club launched the kit in partnership with Foudy’s, the world’s first retailer dedicated to official merchandise in women’s sports. Foudy’s invited customers to join The First List and purchase a kit based solely on the principles behind the team.
“It’s not just the badge you support, it’s the values it represents,” Foudy’s said on social media. “Built on rebellion; woman-led, woman-founded, and proudly independent.”
Over the coming weeks, 150 members of The First List will receive their Glasgow City kits.
A nod to Glasgow City’s rebellious past
The club’s founders designed each detail on the kit to capture the spirit of the side. Key features include:
Though sticking with the classic Glasgow City orange, the white details are a bold move away from the traditional black.
On the back of the neck, the Laurel Thatcher-Ulrich quote ‘well-behaved women seldom make history,’ is printed in purple, a tribute to the suffragette movement.
On the hem, the first badge is printed to draw attention to the club’s decades of history.
On the chest, the current badge is eye-catchingly iridescent, a nod to its future.
The new kit will debut against Motherwell in the Scottish Women’s Premier League season opener on Sunday, 17th August 2025.
The original trailblazers
Despite having no affiliated men’s programme and therefore being unable to benefit from shared facilities and partnerships, Glasgow City have a long history of punching above their weight. Dubbed ‘The Original Trailblazers,’ the side is the most successful in Scottish women’s history.
A second-place finish in the SWPL last season saw City come painfully close to adding a 17th top flight title to their collection. Recent competition from the other professional sides (Rangers, Celtic, Hibernian and Hearts) has made the league highly competitive.
Nevertheless, Glasgow City’s consolation prize is Champions League football in the season ahead. The squad has reached the Champions League quarter-finals twice so far.
Glasgow City is renowned for nurturing emerging talent, with a youth academy of over 150 players dedicated to developing the next generation. This commitment is evident in its impressive alumni, which include international stars like Erin Cuthbert, Rachel Corsie, Denise O’Sullivan, and Katie McCabe.
