It's called "Breathe" and it's the new third shirt of Cagliari Calcio for the 2025-2026 season. It will be worn already in this final part of the championship, that is, in the last home game on Sunday at 20:45 at Unipol Domus against Venezia, in the thirty-seventh day of Serie A. The rossoblù reveal in advance the first of the kits for next year, with an initiative with a strong symbolic and territorial value, developed in collaboration with the Department of Tourism, Crafts and Commerce of the Sardinia Region and with the precious contribution of Forestas.
Cagliari Calcio, with the new third jersey "Breathe", wants to enhance the forest heritage of Sardinia: the Island is the region with the largest forest area in Italy and among the largest in Europe. The use of a special jersey is part of the broader campaign "Reach. Respect. Breathe." , with a series of promotional and awareness initiatives that will have the objective of inviting people to discover Sardinia, to experience it by going beyond its beaches through activities such as trekking, mountain biking, hiking and to respect and protect its landscapes.
The third 2025-26 “Breathe” kit is made by Cagliari partner Eye Sport, who wanted to also technically follow the concepts of the campaign: the Spandex Hole Mesh fabric is completely recycled and, thanks to the Wicking treatment, guarantees maximum comfort, breathability and resistance in all conditions, adapting to any type of use. The design features the leaves of the holm oak (a symbol of strength and longevity) on the front of the shirt and those of the downy oak and cork oak (emblem of stability and resistance) on the back, recalling the oaks most present in the Sardinian forest complex .
The shirt also features numerous details, including:
- red and blue vertical stripes that cross the central body of the kit, where cyan is the dominant shade;
- Cagliari Calcio logo on the heart side and Eye Sport logo on the opposite side, both in lightweight silicone;
- NFC tag on the lower front for certification of authenticity;
- elasticated rib trim with contrasting inserts in social tones;
- phrase "Wherever you will be" printed on the back of the neck, for an emotional and identifying touch;
- geographical coordinates of the Unipol Domus midfield printed along the hem of the shirt;
- internal label «Used by / Owned by», to certify use by the player or fan.
During Cagliari-Venice, the project will be at the center of a series of special activations:
- the teams will be honored with small native plants of the Sardinian Mediterranean scrub – a symbolic gesture that unites sport and respect for nature;
- on the stadium's big screen, visual and video content dedicated to the island's forest heritage will be broadcast, with a clear reminder of the importance of environmental protection;
- the pitchside LEDs, the official magazine and the stadium's audio system will be an active part of the project's narration.
The message is clear: Cagliari Calcio wants to be an ambassador of a complete Sardinian identity, which looks to the future while respecting its own history and its environment.
