Similarity Between Arsenal's 21-22 and 26-27 Kits
Leaked images of the Arsenal 26-27 third kit have many fans comparing it to the club's 21-22 away shirt. Both designs share a very similar light yellow base, a classic round collar, and matching dark blue and red accents.
Although the new jersey introduces a lightning bolt pattern representing the Royal Arsenal logo, this subtle detail might not be enough to make the design feel truly fresh or ground-breaking. Big thanks to @jerseystory_vn for the comparison image.
Manchester United Use Old Champions League Patch in New Kit Promo
In the latest promotional post for their new 26-27 away kit, Manchester United was spotted using an outdated version of the UEFA Champions League patch. The shirt featured the old starball badge with a white border instead of the updated black outline - a minor mistake that also appeared during the club's earlier home kit launch.
Back in 2024, UEFA introduced a redesigned Champions League patch with a outer black border to improve visibility on light-colored jerseys. Since United missed out on Champions League football during the first two seasons of the new design, the club's kit staff might simply still be getting used to the updated spec. Thanks to @jerseystory_vn for the spotted.
Almería 26-27 Home Kit Released
The new UD Almería home kit for the 26-27 season has been officially released. Made by Macron, the kit enters the second year of the technical partnership between the Italian brand and the Spanish club.
The Macron UD Almería 26-27 home shirt features the club's traditional red and white stripes, incorporating a unique design element with the Indalo symbol subtly integrated within the red stripes. It has a classic round neck collar, with the club crest and the Macron Hero logo both fully embroidered on the chest. The front features the SMC Group sponsor logo, while Kudu appears as the sleeve sponsor. The back of the shirt includes a solid white panel to ensure clear visibility for player numbers.
The club promoted the launch with the phrase 'Mucho más que un símbolo' (Much more than a symbol), highlighting the cultural significance of the Indalo to the region of Almería.
Real Madrid 26-27 Away Pre-Match Shirt Released
Alongside the away kit, Real Madrid have officially unveiled their new 2026-27 away pre-match jersey.
The new Real Madrid 26-27 away pre-match shirt features a predominantly pink main color with dark green raglan sleeves, a color combination inspired by the club's home and away kits.

Hellas Verona 26-27 Away Kit Released
Hellas Verona and Joma have officially unveiled the club's new away kit for the 26-27 season. The release is accompanied by the slogan "Sopra tutto Verona" (Above all Verona), highlighting the strong connection between the team and its home city.
The Joma Hellas Verona 26-27 away jersey reverses the traditional home colors, featuring yellow as the primary base with contrasting blue accents on the collar and cuffs. The standout element of the design is a bespoke front graphic pattern that depicts a bird's-eye view of Verona's urban layout and streets. This print maps the city directly onto the shirt, emphasizing the club's local identity. The team crest is applied as a thermosealed silicone badge, while the fabric features a jacquard finish for added texture.
Yellow shorts and socks complete the new Hellas Verona 26-27 away strip.
