Los Merengues will also do away with the purple trim that was not well received this term on the home kit and replace it with black.
The third switch that Adidas and Madrid have made is to reintroduce a collar instead of the elastic round neck that this season's offering has.
The team's second strip of dark blue will also be discarded as an all black kit with white trim has been lined up to replace it.
While all supporters have some interest in new designs for their team's outfit when the summer roles around, this is clearly a marketing ploy.
Madrid only changed their kit last summer and Adidas have opted to make it valid for only one season before doing away with it.
The club claim that the new design will be based on the one that the team wore when they won the European Cup in 2000, but it will also include the Spanish flag on the back of the neck.
With Barcelona having the Senyera (Catalan flag) on their kit a long with many other sides having their regional colours, Madrid have jumped on the bandwagon.
A survey was held among Madrid supporters in Spain who all voted to have the flag included, although president Ramón Calderón vetoed the idea of having it on either sleeve
