League Two side Gillingham FC has officially revealed its new away and third kits for the upcoming 2026-2027 season. Produced by technical sponsor Macron, the dual launch offers fans two vastly different aesthetics, pairing a highly elegant, retro-inspired away strip with a bold and modern third option.
The new Macron Gillingham 26-27 away shirt introduces a classy and refined look for the club's travels. It features a cream base, anchored by a striking central vertical stripe in teal and green. Adding to the tailored aesthetic is a traditional teal polo collar adorned with blue and white trim, which perfectly matches the detailing on the sleeve cuffs.
In stark contrast, the Gillingham 26-27 third shirt embraces a loud, contemporary design. The alternate jersey is built on a black base that is completely covered by a vibrant purple marbled, liquid swirl graphic pattern. To ensure the branding stands out against the chaotic background, Macron has utilized a striking neon mint green for the manufacturer logo, the central sponsor, and the trim on both the modern V-neck collar and sleeve cuffs.
Which of these two new Gillingham 26-27 kits do you prefer - the classy cream away or the bold purple marbled third? Let us know in the comments below.
