Leaked: Champions League Twitter Reveals Unreleased Third Kits, Unusual Home Kit Choices
That was too soon. Yesterday, the official Champions League Facebook and Twitter pages posted a comprehensive (but now deleted) overview of all 32 Champions League teams' kits.
PSG, Gladbach To Sport Black Third Kits at Home
This is the full 15-16 Champions League kit overview, posted too soon accidentally.
The full overview included a number of unreleased shirts, most notably Nike's 'decept' third kits for Barcelona, Galatasaray, Manchester City and Paris Saint-Germain. Set to be released ahead of the start of the 15-16 Champions League group stage, all but PSG's Nike 15-16 third kits boast a similar theme - a bright main color is combined with black gradient finishes to sleeves and shorts.
Whereas the use of the new third kits, both from Adidas and Nike, as primary away strips for most teams, doesn't come as a surprise, Paris Saint-Germain's 15-16 third kit stands out there as well, appearing in the first column for the French champions and indicating that it's to be used as Champions League home kit.
PSG won't be the only club to sport a different home shirt for the competition, as first-time participants Borussia Mönchengladbach will don the stunning Gladbach 15-16 third kit in home matches.
Last but not least, the 15-16 Champions League kits overview appears to show an unreleased, all-white Lyon third kit.
What do you think of the Nike 15-16 third kits, now that you've got confirmation of their authenticity? Do you like Gladbach's and PSG's unusual Champions League home kit choices? Let us know in the comments below.

Borussia Dortmund and Germany defender Nico Schlotterbeck has a very specific habit regarding his matchday attire. The centre-back deliberately wears his football socks the wrong way round - the back is on the front, and the front is on the back.
In 2025, the Borussia Dortmund & Germany center back once told SPORT1 that this was one of his unique habits.
