Krasnodar 26-27 In-House Home & Away Kits Released
FC Krasnodar has revealed its new home and away kits for the 26-27 season. Continuing a recent trend for the Russian Premier League club, the new jerseys are made in-house and do not feature a prominent sportswear manufacturer logo.
The 26-27 home and away shirts follow the precedent set during the 24-25 and 25-26 campaigns, where Krasnodar also opted for unbranded gear. By keeping production internal, the club maintains full control over the design and manufacturing processes for their matchday equipment.
