As always, the Real Madrid home kit is white with stylish black and gold trim.
But supporters noticed a strange mark on the shirt when the players modelled it for promo photos.
A bizarre horizontal line can be clearly seen across the lower torso.
Some fans even spotted it on the away and goalkeeper jerseys too.
Plenty have speculated what has caused the mark and many reckon it has come from the heat press used to print on the names and numbers.
The authentic fabric used by Adidas in their premium shirts is said to be sensitive material that could "slightly shrink or stretch".
Real Madrid were held to a 1-1 draw by Saudi Arabian side Al-Hilal yesterday in their Club World Cup opener.
Fans were looking out for the mystery line and some believe they could see it on Thibaut Courtois and Dean Huijsen's shirts.
Xabi Alonso's side are back in action against Mexican club Pachuca on Sunday night.
They then end the group stage with a clash versus Austrian outfit RB Salzburg.

But they may have to do it without main man Kylian Mbappe, who has been taken to hospital due to acute gastroenteritis.
Symptoms of the condition include diarrhoea, vomiting, fever, loss of appetite and abdominal pain and cramping.

Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca yet to speak to Mykhailo Mudryk after doping charges
Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca has revealed he has not yet spoken to winger Mykhailo Mudryk since the Ukrainian was charged with violating anti-doping rules. The 24-year-old is facing a lengthy ban after the Football Association announced on Friday it had charged the player. Mudryk has not played since being suspended last December after testing positive for a prohibited substance. He was last seen in public at the Europa Conference League final in Wroclaw last month having attended in a private capacity. Mudryk is not allowed to train with the squad, who are currently at the Club World Cup in the United States. Speaking ahead of the Blues' second match of the tournament against Flamengo in Philadelphia on Friday, Maresca said: 'I spoke with 'Misha' in Poland when we played the Conference League final but I didn't speak with him since that time. 'To be honest, I didn't see the news. They communicated (it to) me last night. There is nothing more that I can add at the moment because I don't have more information.' Chelsea did not officially comment after the charges were announced but have previously said they are supporting the player. Maresca said: 'The last time I spoke with Misha he was quite good. I didn't see him worried, or at least I didn't see him not good. It was OK. 'I don't know how he is now but for sure in the next days, weeks, we're going to have a talk.' Chelsea are in the market for a new winger this summer, and have been heavily linked with Borussia Dortmund's Jamie Gittens, but Maresca says that is not because of the Mudryk situation. The Italian said: 'We had already one entire season, almost, without Misha. 'We've decided to go for a winger not because of Misha. It's something quite clear, it's a position that we need to improve.' Maresca dismissed speculation over the future of another winger in England international Noni Madueke, with reports Arsenal are monitoring his situation. Maresca said: 'Noni is our player. In this moment, you can read much speculation about many players, but Noni is our player. We consider Noni our player for next season.' Maresca is set to make changes to his side for the Flamengo clash at Lincoln Financial Field due to the anticipated heat. The Blues, who opened their campaign in Group D with a 2-0 win over LAFC, are set to face the Brazilians at 2pm local time, with the temperature forecast to reach 28C. Maresca said: 'It's not easy because of the temperature. This is the reason why we're going to try to rotate players. 'Unfortunately for us, as a Brazilian team, they are more used to playing in this temperature – but it doesn't matter. We're going to try to do our best to win the game.'

Ex-Man Utd wonderkid banished to train on his own and put through ‘torturous' sessions to force him out of club
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A FORMER Manchester United hot prospect was forced into "torturous" training sessions in a bid to make him quit his club. But amid the brutal regime, he was driven on by a supportive coach urging him: "Don't let them break you".

He was at Old Trafford from 2009-2014, featuring alongside future heroes like Paul Pogba and earning England caps at Under-16 and U-17 level. Tunnicliffe, now 32, went on to have decent spells with Fulham, Millwall, Luton and Portsmouth. But a move to Australian team Adelaide United on a two-year deal in 2023 went less than smoothly. READ MORE IN FOOTBALL CITY PUNISHED Man City slapped with fine as they accept breaching Prem rule nine times And Tunnicliffe's troubles peaked when the club's technical director Ernest Faber wanted him out - according to 7NEWS Adelaide. The Australian broadcaster revealed whistleblowing claims by former assistant Travis Dodd. The former Adelaide player, 45, suggested that ex-coach Carl Veart was undermined by Faber last season. Dodd reckoned Faber asked players to pick the team without telling Veart. BEST ONLINE CASINOS - TOP SITES IN THE UK And it's reckoned Tunnicliffe was caught up in the situation. He only played four minutes last season before departing in May - with Veart also leaving after five years in charge, as well as Dodd. New Man Utd star Matheus Cunha runs rings around pals as he plays 5-a-side on streets in his hometown And it's alleged Tunnicliffe faced a bizarre ordeal as he struggled for game time. 7News Adelaide reported that Faber "forced unwanted import Ryan Tunnicliffe to train on his own, putting him through torturous running sessions in the hope he would quit the club". Dodd told the TV channel: "I said, 'Mate, don't let them break you'. He goes, 'I can do it'. "And, credit to him, for two weeks he rocked up when he was asked to rock up, did what he was asked to do, and seemingly Ernest (Faber) had had enough after two weeks and let him rejoin the first-team squad." Former Adelaide player Josh Cavallo alleged on the 7News Facebook comment section that he too suffered because of Faber. The ex-Socceroos U-20 ace, 25, claimed Veart was "under clear instructions by the people above him" not to pick him.
