The Skita FC Arouca 26-27 third shirt is predominantly black, highlighted by an intricate tonal floral jacquard pattern embossed across both the front and back of the torso. Fine white trim lines the round crew-neck collar and sleeve cuffs, adding clean contrast to the dark base.

PSIS Semarang 26-27 Home Kit Released
Indonesian club PSIS Semarang and returning technical sponsor Riors have officially launched their new home kit for the 26-27 season. The release marks the resumption of the partnership between the brand and the Semarang-based club, following Riors' previous spell outfitting the team from 2017 to 2024.
The PSIS Semarang 26-27 home jersey features the club's traditional blue as its base color, enriched by a striking, detailed mythical beast illustration across the front torso. Contrasting vibrant red details highlight the V-neck collar insert, the sleeve cuff trims, and the side hem vents. The monochromatic treatment extends to the chest, where both the Riors logo and the PSIS crest with its championship star are rendered in vivid red.
Navy blue panels across the shoulders and collar frame the design, while a bespoke emblem sits inside the back neck. The full kit is completed with matching patterned blue shorts and navy socks with red detailing.
