Nottingham Forest Home Kit DLS 2025/26 Garibaldi Red
Nottingham Forest's iconic red home shirt for DLS 2025/26 — one of English football's most historically resonant and globally recognised kit colors. The Garibaldi red — a specific, vivid shade of red named after the Italian revolutionary Giuseppe Garibaldi, whose followers famously wore red shirts in the 19th century — has been Forest's primary color since 1865, making it one of the longest-maintained kit color identities in the history of football. The Forest red is not just any red: it is a specific, celebrated shade that has been won in two European Cup finals, countless league matches, and the extraordinary journey back to the Premier League after 23 years away. In DLS, the Nottingham Forest red is one of the most immediately recognisable and historically significant kit colors in the game — driven by the club's extraordinary European Cup history, the global following built through Brian Clough's remarkable story, and the passionate fanbase that followed Forest back to the Premier League in 2022 after two decades of Championship football. Morgan Gibbs-White, Callum Hudson-Odoi, and a squad of talented international players wear the Garibaldi red with the weight of two European Cups on the badge.

Nottingham Forest badge history — Brian Clough, the European Cup, and Garibaldi red (1865–2026)
The Nottingham Forest badge is one of English and European football's most historically extraordinary crests — representing a club from a provincial east Midlands city that, under the management of the most compelling and controversial figure in English football history, achieved what no other club of their size has ever achieved: two consecutive European Cup victories. Understanding the badge and Forest's story explains why this red shirt carries such mythological weight in global football culture.
Nottingham Forest Football Club was founded in 1865 — making it one of the oldest football clubs in the world and one of only a handful of clubs that predate the Football Association itself (founded 1863). Forest was founded by a group of shinty players who decided to try the new game of association football, meeting in a Nottingham pub and establishing a club whose rules and traditions would contribute to the development of the modern game. Remarkably, Forest were one of the first clubs to introduce the crossbar (replacing a tape across the top of the posts) and one of the first to use shinguards — two innovations that are now fundamental to the game worldwide. The Garibaldi red was adopted in 1865 — named after the Italian revolutionary leader Giuseppe Garibaldi whose volunteer army (the Red Shirts) fought for Italian unification in the same decade — making Forest's red one of the oldest maintained kit colors in football history.
The specific shade of red worn by Nottingham Forest is called Garibaldi red — named after Giuseppe Garibaldi (1807–1882), the Italian nationalist and revolutionary leader whose volunteer army of the Risorgimento famously wore red shirts during the campaigns to unify Italy in the 1860s. Garibaldi was one of the most celebrated figures of the 19th century across Europe and his red-shirted followers were internationally famous — so famous that when Nottingham Forest adopted their red kit in 1865, the color was naturally associated with Garibaldi's movement. The specific deep, vivid red of the Garibaldi tradition distinguishes Forest's color from other red clubs and connects the football kit to one of the most remarkable political and military figures of the Victorian era.
Nottingham Forest have played at the City Ground since 1898 — a stadium on the banks of the River Trent in Nottingham, looking across the water towards Meadow Lane, home of Notts County (the world's oldest Football League club). The City Ground sits in an extraordinary setting — the River Trent flowing past the East Stand, the Trent Bridge cricket ground visible nearby, and the specific atmosphere of a medium-sized East Midlands city that has never quite come to terms with the extraordinary scale of what Brian Clough achieved within its borders. The City Ground is currently being redeveloped with a new stand, funded by the Marinakis ownership, as part of Forest's long-term Premier League establishment plan.
Brian Clough is one of the most remarkable figures in the history of world football — a manager of extraordinary charisma, tactical intelligence, psychological brilliance, and personal complexity who achieved things that no other English manager has matched before or since. Clough managed Nottingham Forest from January 1975 to May 1993 — 18 years — and in that time transformed a provincial Second Division club into the champions of Europe twice over. His methods were unconventional, his personality was magnetic and sometimes destructive, and his relationship with the media was one of English football's most memorable theatrical performances. Peter Taylor, his long-time assistant who Clough always credited as essential to his success, was alongside him for the European Cup years. The Clough story — told in David Peace's novel The Damned Utd and the subsequent film — is one of football's most extraordinary human narratives. In DLS, the Clough era red shirt generates downloads from fans who were not alive when Forest won the European Cup but who know the story as one of football's greatest tales.
Nottingham Forest won the First Division title in 1977/78 — just one year after promotion from the Second Division. The speed of the transformation was unprecedented: in 1976/77 Forest were in the second tier; by 1977/78 they were champions of England. The title-winning squad — built on Clough and Taylor's extraordinary eye for talent and ability to extract performances beyond players' apparent capabilities — featured Peter Shilton in goal, Larry Lloyd and Kenny Burns in central defence, John Robertson on the left wing, and Trevor Francis, who would join the following season as England's first £1 million footballer.
Nottingham Forest won the European Cup on 30 May 1979 in Munich — defeating Malmö FF 1-0 in the final with a goal from Trevor Francis (England's first £1 million player, signed for exactly that fee earlier in the season). It was Forest's first-ever European Cup campaign. To go from the Second Division in 1977 to European champions in 1979 — in just two years — is the most remarkable achievement in English football history. The Garibaldi red worn that night in Munich represents the single greatest moment in the club's history and one of the most extraordinary nights in European football.
Nottingham Forest retained the European Cup on 28 May 1980 in Madrid — defeating Hamburg SV 1-0 in the final with a goal from John Robertson. Robertson — described by Clough as "a fat, unfit slob who I have to carry everywhere" but also as the best winger he ever worked with — produced one of the European Cup final's most celebrated individual performances. Back-to-back European Cups, from a city of 330,000 people in the English east Midlands, with a squad assembled for a fraction of the cost of their continental rivals — this remains the most extraordinary achievement in English club football. The red shirt of 1980 is the most downloaded vintage Nottingham Forest DLS design globally.
Nottingham Forest won promotion to the Premier League in 2021/22 — ending a 23-year absence from the top flight under Steve Cooper's management. The promotion playoff final victory over Sheffield United at Wembley — a 1-0 win with a Levi Colwill own goal — sent the City Ground into scenes of extraordinary celebration. The red shirt from that promotion day is the most downloaded modern Forest DLS design, and the return to the Premier League generated an enormous global DLS download spike — Forest's extraordinary European Cup heritage meaning the club is recognised worldwide far beyond what their recent league history would suggest.
What does the Nottingham Forest badge symbolize?
The NFFC badge carries the full weight of one of football's most extraordinary achievements. The tree — from which the Tricky Trees nickname derives, referencing the ancient oak trees of Sherwood Forest that surround Nottinghamshire — connects the club to the natural heritage of the English Midlands and to the Robin Hood legend that defines Nottingham's cultural identity worldwide. The Garibaldi red of the badge references the Italian revolutionary whose red-shirted followers inspired the color in 1865 — connecting Forest's visual identity to one of the 19th century's most remarkable political figures. The two stars above the badge represent the two European Cup victories of 1979 and 1980 — the defining achievements that make Nottingham Forest one of football's most globally recognised clubs despite their size. The NFFC lettering stands for Nottingham Forest Football Club, founded 1865 — one of the oldest football clubs in the world. Together the badge represents a club that helped invent the modern game, won the European Cup twice from a provincial city, and carries within its red shirt one of football's greatest stories.
Nottingham Forest kit history — Garibaldi red since 1865
Nottingham Forest's Garibaldi red home kit is one of football's oldest continuously maintained color identities — worn since 1865 and maintained through every era, every division, and every glory and despair that 160 years of football can produce. The specific vivid red — named after Giuseppe Garibaldi's 19th-century revolutionary movement — is so closely associated with the club that "Garibaldi red" is simply understood to mean Nottingham Forest in football contexts.
Adidas, Umbro, and other manufacturers have produced Forest kits across different eras. The two European Cup-winning red shirts (1979 in Munich, 1980 in Madrid) are the most historically significant. The 2022 Championship playoff final promotion shirt is the most downloaded modern Forest DLS design. The current Adidas partnership has produced some of the cleanest and most visually striking Forest designs in the club's recent history — doing full justice to a color that has been worn since the same decade that Giuseppe Garibaldi himself was still alive.

Nottingham Forest in DLS 2025/26 — the Tricky Trees in the Premier League
Nottingham Forest are one of football's most globally recognised clubs relative to their size — two European Cup victories from a provincial city of 330,000 people means the Garibaldi red is known across the world. In DLS, the red kit and NFFC badge are consistently downloaded by a global fanbase built on Clough's extraordinary legacy and sustained through the passionate following that returned Forest to the Premier League after 23 years away.
The 2025/26 Nottingham Forest squad reflects the sustained investment of owner Evangelos Marinakis — the Greek shipping magnate who has also transformed Olympiakos in Greece. Morgan Gibbs-White (England) is Forest's most creative and influential player — a technically gifted attacking midfielder whose energy and creativity drive the team's best performances. Callum Hudson-Odoi (England) provides pace and directness on the wing. Matz Sels (Belgium) is a reliable Premier League goalkeeper. Murillo (Brazil) has established himself as one of the Premier League's brightest young centre-backs. Anthony Elanga (Sweden) brings pace and directness on the flank. Chris Wood (New Zealand) has contributed important goals. Under Nuno Espírito Santo — the Portuguese manager who previously impressed at Wolves and Tottenham — Forest play a compact, organised, counter-attacking style that has made them genuine Premier League survivors and occasional top-half achievers. The two stars of the European Cup victories sit above the badge of every player who wears the Garibaldi red — a reminder of what this club achieved and what it aspires to again.

What is Garibaldi red?
Garibaldi red is the specific shade of red worn by Nottingham Forest since 1865 — named after Giuseppe Garibaldi (1807–1882), the Italian nationalist revolutionary whose volunteer army famously wore red shirts during the campaigns to unify Italy in the 1860s. Garibaldi was one of the most celebrated figures of the 19th century, and his red-shirted movement was internationally famous when Forest adopted the color. The specific vivid shade of Garibaldi red distinguishes Forest's color from other red clubs and connects the kit to one of the 19th century's most remarkable political movements.
Did Nottingham Forest really win the European Cup twice?
Yes — Nottingham Forest won the European Cup in consecutive seasons: 1979 in Munich (defeating Malmö FF 1-0, goal from Trevor Francis — England's first £1 million player) and 1980 in Madrid (defeating Hamburg SV 1-0, goal from John Robertson). Both victories were achieved under Brian Clough's management. Forest had been in the Second Division just two years before the first European Cup win — the most extraordinary achievement in English football history.
Who was Brian Clough?
Brian Clough is widely regarded as the greatest manager in English football history — a figure of extraordinary charisma, tactical intelligence, and personal complexity. He managed Nottingham Forest from 1975 to 1993, transforming a Second Division club into back-to-back European champions. His methods were unconventional, his media presence was magnetic, and his achievement has never been replicated. Peter Taylor, his long-time assistant, was essential to the European Cup years. Clough's story is told in David Peace's novel The Damned Utd and the subsequent 2009 film.
What are the two stars on Nottingham Forest's badge?
The two stars above the NFFC badge represent the two European Cup victories — 1979 and 1980. Stars above a club badge traditionally represent major international trophy wins. For Nottingham Forest, a club from a city of 330,000 people, to carry two European Cup stars is one of football's most remarkable badge stories — a permanent reminder of what Brian Clough achieved from the City Ground on the banks of the Trent.
Why are Forest called the Tricky Trees?
The Tricky Trees nickname references the ancient oak trees of Sherwood Forest — the legendary forest of Nottinghamshire associated with Robin Hood, situated north of Nottingham. The name connects the football club to the natural heritage of Nottinghamshire and the Robin Hood legend that makes Nottingham one of England's most internationally recognised cities. The "tricky" element references the club's reputation for technically clever, difficult-to-beat football at their best.
How long was Nottingham Forest out of the Premier League?
Nottingham Forest were relegated from the Premier League at the end of the 1998/99 season — and were not promoted back until 2021/22, a 23-year absence. During those 23 years, the club with two European Cups in their trophy cabinet spent time in the Championship and even the third tier. Their 2022 return was one of English football's most emotionally resonant promotion stories.
Does the Nottingham Forest DLS logo URL work in DLS 24, DLS 25, and DLS 26?
Yes. The logo and kit import system is identical across DLS 24, DLS 25, and DLS 26. Any working 512x512 PNG URL used in one version works in all of them.

Is the Nottingham Forest DLS logo free?
Yes, completely free. No signup, no payment, no limit. Copy as many Nottingham Forest logo and kit URLs as you need from this page.
Can I use the Nottingham Forest logo and all kits together in DLS?
Yes — and it gives the most authentic Tricky Trees experience. Go to Customize Team, use Edit Logo for the NFFC two-star badge, and Edit Kit for each shirt slot. Using both together means the Forest crest appears correctly on every home, away, and third shirt in every DLS match.
