Hull City 26-27 Third Kit Released
Hull City and local technical supplier Oxen Sports have officially unveiled the club's new third kit for the 26-27 campaign. Dubbed "The Three Coronets," the strip continues the club's heritage-driven aesthetic this season, taking direct inspiration from the 1935-36 season when the Tigers briefly wore royal blue and white to match the official civic colors of Kingston upon Hull.
The standout feature of the shirt is the civic coat of arms on the chest, displaying three stacked gold coronets in place of the traditional club crest, developed in collaboration with Hull City Council. The rich blue base is complemented by a clean white fold-over collar with a two-button placket and white sleeve cuffs, each accented by fine blue and gold piping. Further custom details include the historic quote ‘Before The Three Coronets Were Stamped We Punched Our Gold With H For Hull’ inside the back of the neck and a gold-embroidered tiger head beneath the rear collar.
White shorts and classic blue-and-white hooped socks complete the ensemble, accompanied by gold Oxen branding and white sponsor logos from Corendon Airlines and sleeve sponsor McVitie's. The Hull City 26-27 third kit is scheduled to make its on-pitch debut away at Sunderland in the Carabao Cup.
