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.
Trent Alexander-Arnold reveals how long he's been learning Spanish but Prem icon pundit doesn't believe a word of it
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.

Botafogo stun PSG 1-0 at Club World Cup
LOS ANGELES, June 19 (Reuters) - Brazil's Botafogo stunned European champions Paris St Germain 1-0 on Thursday to throw Group B at the Club World Cup wide open. PSG dominated possession at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena but Botafogo's defence stood tall to withstand waves of attacks from the French side in the first competitive meeting between the two clubs. A turnover near midfield generated an opportunity for Igor Jesus, whose deflected shot left PSG keeper Gianluigi Donnarumma flatfooted and only able to watch as the ball skipped into the net in the 36th minute. PSG continued to be the aggressors in the second half as Botafogo were content to protect their lead and try to capitalize on the break. PSG, who had scored 19 goals in their last five matches, had the ball in the net in the 79th minute but the goal was chalked off for offside and Botafogo held for the shock win.
