Leaked: Atletico Madrid 26-27 ‘Spider’ Re-Edition Kit

TL;DR

• Nike are preparing a 26-27 re-edition of Atletico Madrid’s 2004-05 away shirt, the one remembered for its Spider-Man 2 film sponsorship.
• The navy base and bright blue piping return, but the film branding does not — the front is reported as sponsorless because that partnership expired two decades ago.
• Release is anticipated in early 2027. The original 2004-05 away shirt is available now as a retro reissue at 433FC.

Footy Headlines reported on 14 September 2026 that Nike and Atletico Madrid are working on a re-edition shirt for the 2026-27 season, modelled on the club’s 2004-05 away kit. That shirt is one of the most recognisable one-offs in La Liga history: a Columbia Pictures tie-in that put Spider-Man 2 artwork on a top-flight football shirt, an arrangement almost nobody has attempted since.

Read the image caption carefully before you get attached to a detail. Footy Headlines states that the picture accompanying its report is an AI-generated mockup created from the actual product rather than a photograph of it. The claim being made is that the shirt exists and follows the 2004-05 template; the rendering is an illustration of that claim, so panel lines, collar proportions and logo placement are the parts most likely to shift before launch.

Design Breakdown

Colourway. A deep navy blue base with bright blue contrast piping, the combination that made the 2004-05 away shirt legible on a crowded pitch. Piping is doing the structural work here, tracing the panels rather than sitting as a decorative stripe.

Collar and cuffs. The mockup shows a dark folded collar, in keeping with the Nike Total 90 template the original was built on. That template is the reference point for the whole shirt, and anyone who watched mid-2000s football will recognise it immediately.

Sponsor. This is the headline absence. The Spider-Man 2 branding that gave the shirt its nickname is gone, and the front is reported as clean. The licensing behind a 2004 film promotion does not simply carry over 22 years later, so a sponsorless chest is the predictable outcome — and, in fairness, it puts the colourway and piping on full display.

Crest and construction. The current Atletico crest is used rather than the 2004 version, and the build is described as modern, with Nike’s Dri-FIT ADV engineering. This is a retro look on a contemporary shirt, not a reproduction.

How It Compares

Against the original, the trade is faithfulness for wearability. The 2004-05 shirt was heavier, boxier and defined by the film artwork; this version keeps the silhouette cues and the colour story while dropping the graphic that made it famous. Whether that reads as tasteful restraint or as the interesting part being removed will depend on why you wanted the shirt.

Against Atletico’s current range, it is a clear outlier. The 2026-27 home and third shirts sit in the club’s established red-and-white and contemporary-graphic territory, whereas a navy Total 90 revival is a deliberate detour into nostalgia — closer to a collector’s release than a matchday staple, even if it does appear on the pitch.

When Can You Buy It?

Release is anticipated in early 2027, and the shirt could get an on-pitch outing if the club takes part in a retro-themed La Liga fixture this season. Neither the date nor the fixture has been confirmed by the club.

If it is the 2004-05 shirt itself you are after, the reissue is in stock: the Atletico Madrid 2004/05 away long-sleeve retro shirt at $42.99.

FAQ

Is this the real Atletico Madrid re-edition kit?

Footy Headlines reports that the shirt is in preparation and describes it as based on the actual product, but the image published with the story is an AI-generated mockup rather than a photograph. The existence of the shirt is the claim; the visual is an interpretation of it.

When does the Atletico Madrid Spider re-edition release?

Early 2027 is the anticipated window. The shirt has also been linked with a retro-themed La Liga fixture this season, though no match has been confirmed.
