Have Benfica's 2022/23 jerseys been leaked? Well according to the site Footy Headlines, they have the scoop on the clubs jerseys for the upcoming season on both the home and the away jerseys.

Benfica's home jersey will feature its distinctive red colour that we have all been accustomed to for years and years but may include a bit more white trim on the sleeves ends and thankfully will not include a collar. The clubs shirt sponsor continues to be Emirates while it's jersey maker will continue as Adidas

Benfica's away jersey is where the club tends to get a bit more creative and it looks like the club will be going with a yellow/gold colour that may include patterns that gel into the jersey. The club last used yellowish/gold jerseys during the 1998/99 season when the clubs sponsors for that season were Telecel, while Adidas was the jersey maker then as it is now.
