The iconic Gulf racing colours will feature on a British football club’s kit this season
Swansea City Football Club has launched their third kit for the 2025/26 season, showcasing the renowned Gulf Racing blue-and-orange colors popular in F1.
The Gulf branding, known for its appearance on the F1 grid in the 2022 season with McLaren during the Monaco Grand Prix, has a long history of collaboration with McLaren.
From the late 1960s to early 1970s and in the 1990s, Gulf and McLaren teamed up for the Le Mans 24 Hours to create iconic liveries.
McLaren previously used the Gulf livery in the 1997 Le Mans 24 Hours, achieving a second-place finish, while Williams more recently featured the Gulf-inspired design at select events in 2023.
Now, Swansea City FC will be donning the distinctive Gulf colors in the English Football League, drawing inspiration from Gulf’s rich motorsport heritage.
