2016-17 La Liga Kits Overview - All New 16-17 Shirts
Aug 18, 2016, by Pat
Following last week's Ligue 1 and Premier League kick-offs, this weekend will see two other major competitions start the new season, with Spain's La Liga opening this Friday and Serie A the day after. As Barcelona aim to win a third consecutive Liga title, let's take a look at all 20 teams' jerseys for this upcoming season.
Another interesting perspective of a league's kits is to compare the number of teams supplied by the different brands. In the case of La Liga, Adidas (6) and Nike (5) sponsor the most teams, including the "big three", Atlético, Barcelona and Real Madrid. The only other brand to supply more than one team is Joma with four, while Acerbis, Hummel, Lotto, New Balance and Puma all have one La Liga team each.
Deportivo Alavés
Made by Hummel, the Deportivo Alavés 2016-2017 kits introduce very traditional designs.
Athletic Club
The Athletic Bilbao 16-17 kits are made by Nike once again, with both featuring understated and traditional looks that base on the brand's template.
Atlético Madrid
As Atlético is playing its last season at the Vicente Calderón stadium, both Atlético Madrid 2016-17 kits feature a special graphic honoring the iconic home ground on the inside neck.
FC Barcelona
Defending champions Barcelona looked at their past for inspirations for the new 16-17 home kit that is inspired by the 1992 European Cup-winning jersey. Both the Barcelona 2016-17 away and third shirts introduce more modern and unusual looks.
Real Betis
Produced by Adidas, the Real Betis 16-17 home, away and third kits feature smart looks in stripes, dark green and yellow, respectively.
Celta Vigo
Celta's new 2016-17 kits are again made by Adidas and introduce yellow as accent color, both on the home and away versions.
Deportivo La Coruña
Inspired by the past, the Deportivo La Coruña 2016-17 kits by Lotto are very clean and simple, with the third shirt sticking out in particular.
SD Eibar
Again made by Puma, Eibar's 2016-2017 kits are virtually unchanged from last season.
RCD Espanyol
Joma again makes the Espanyol kits, with both the home and away featuring gradient styles on the stripes.
Granada CF
Also made by Joma are the new Granada 16-17 home, away and third kits.
UD Las Palmas
Both of the new Las Palmas 16-17 kits, made by Acerbis, feature traditional collars, although the away kit is unlikely to be used an awful lot of times.
CD Leganés
Although based on templates from last season, the CD Leganés 16-17 kits are fit for the club's La Liga debut. Both are kept very traditional and simple, yet inspired.
Málaga CF
Featuring the Nike Swoosh, the Málaga 16-17 kits are based on the brand's teamwear catalog. After a few seasons without a main sponsor, Marathon Bet has joined forces with the Andalusian club.
CA Osasuna
Made by Adidas, the new Osasuna 16-17 home and away kits introduce interesting designs that appear to be based on the brand's miadidas templates.
Real Madrid
Another team to feature the iconic Three Stripes is of course Real Madrid. Whereas the Real Madrid 16-17 home and - to a lesser extent - away kits feature classic designs inspired by the past, the new third jersey introduces a unique and all-new look, inspired by the club's tradition to celebrate trophies at the Plaza de Cibeles.
Real Sociedad
The new Real Sociedad 2016-2017 kits are also made by Adidas. They feature smart designs, with the away one boasting a color combination that's relatively new to the club.
Sevilla FC
Made by New Balance, the Sevilla 16-17 home, away and third kits are kept very traditional. They are white, red and citrus, respectively.
Real Sporting Gijón
Having changed from Kappa to Nike, the new Sporting Gijón 16-17 home and away kits are based directly on the brand's teamwear offering.
Valencia CF
Both of the new Valencia 16-17 shirts, made by Adidas, feature orange accents in the form of the brandings, collar and in the case of the away, the team logo.
Villarreal CF
After a few years with Chinese brand Xtep, which saw the kits virtually unchanged for a few seasons, Villarreal has signed with local brand Joma. The Villarreal 16-17 home kit is once again quite understated, but the new away and third kits feature all-new looks for the club.

OH Leuven 26-27 Away Kit Released
Belgian Pro League club Oud-Heverlee Leuven have officially unveiled their new 2026-27 away kit. Made by Jako, the new shirt introduces a bold dark look for the upcoming domestic campaign.

New Material for UEFA Champions League Patches?
Based on images from Manchester United's recent posts, it appears that the Starball and UEFA Foundation sleeve patches for the 26-27 UEFA Champions League might be moving away from the traditional velvet material. Instead, they seem to feature a noticeably thinner and flatter composition.
Without high-resolution close-ups, the exact material specifications cannot be fully confirmed just yet.
However, this potential shift remains unconfirmed, as other clubs have not displayed this change. Real Betis, for instance, still appeared with standard velvet-textured patches during their recent 26-27 Champions League portrait photoshoot sessions.
We will have to wait for official confirmation and close-up looks once the competition gets underway. Big thanks to @jerseystory_vn for the collage.
Almere City 26-27 Cup Kit Released
Dutch club Almere City have officially unveiled their new 2026-27 Cup kit. Made by Craft, the special “HANASAKA!” shirt celebrates the club’s connection with Japan through owner Yanmar and the Yanmar Hanasaka International Youth Cup, an U19 tournament organised by Almere City at the Yanmar Stadion.
The Craft Almere City 2026-27 Cup shirt features a black base with subtle tonal cherry blossom branch motifs across the front. Mint green and pastel pink details add contrast, with a mint crew-neck collar and sponsor branding joined by a pink monochrome club crest, Craft logo and sleeve trims.

Sutton United 26-27 Third Kit Released
English club Sutton United and kit manufacturer VX3 have officially unveiled the club's new third kit for the 2026-27 campaign. Themed around the slogan "Where Passion Blooms," the release pays homage to the local area's historic lavender fields and was presented alongside players from the Sutton United Women's squad.
The VX3 Sutton United 26-27 third shirt is predominantly light lavender purple, paired with contrasting dark purple raglan sleeves and a matching polo collar. A monochrome purple club badge sits on the left chest, complemented by dark purple sponsor logos and an embroidered sprig of lavender on the upper back just below the neckline.
The new third kit completes Sutton United's kit set for the 2026-27 season alongside their previously released home and away strips.
Plymouth Argyle 26-27 Third Kit Released
Puma and Plymouth Argyle have officially launched the club's new third kit for the 26-27 season. Designed to make a bold visual impact on the pitch, the new strip brings back a vibrant tangerine look for the Pilgrims.
The Puma Plymouth Argyle 2026-27 third jersey combines a vivid orange base with contrasting black trim across the collar, shoulders, and cuffs. The front proudly features a monochrome black version of Argyle's iconic Mayflower crest, accompanied by black Puma cat branding and sponsor detailing from Lighthouse Charity.
The new third kit is available immediately via Argyle's official online store and in-person retail locations.
Catania FC 26-27 Away Kit Released
Italian club Catania FC and technical sponsor Erreà have officially launched their new away kit for the 2026-27 season. Arriving as part of the brand's "COLORI DEI TERRITORI" collection, the release completes the club's full wardrobe for the new campaign following the earlier debuts of their volcanic-themed third and traditional rossazzurri home strips.
The Erreà Catania 2026-27 away shirt is predominantly white, accented with dark grey detailing along the thick V-neck collar, sleeve cuffs, and shoulder trims. Across the front and sleeves, the jersey incorporates a subtle tonal graphic pattern inspired by local Catanese heritage and the city's iconic elephant symbol.
The new Catania FC 26-27 away uniform is completed with matching shorts and socks and is available now through the club's official retail channels.
FC Penafiel 26-27 Away Kit Released
Portuguese Liga Portugal 2 side FC Penafiel have officially launched their new away kit for the 2026-27 season. Produced by Nike, the secondary strip arrives two weeks after the release of the club's traditional red-and-black home jersey.
The Nike FC Penafiel 2026-27 away shirt is predominantly white, highlighted by a classic horizontal chest band in red that is bordered by thin black stripes. A black polo-style collar with a front insert adds a refined touch to the design. The Nike Swoosh and FC Penafiel crest are placed inside the red chest hoop, while the ABANCA sponsor logo appears in black across the midriff.
White shorts with black detailing and white socks round off the clean look of the new FC Penafiel 26-27 away uniform, which is already available to purchase through the club's official channels.
