This year, we noticed an interesting trend: football clubs disproportionately started releasing black / golden jerseys that naturally look classy and glorious because of their color combination. Interestingly, there is also a select number of teams utilizing the reverse color combination - a mainly golden shirt with black accents.
Since this is an emerging trend in the world of football shirts we want to take a closer look at all examples that we found by quickly browsing Football Kit Archive.
Traditionally, the color golden represents glory and success so it is only logical that some of the shirts are also interconnected with a club's history such as the Ajax third shirt that pays tribute to the 3 Champions League titles won in the early 70's and laid the foundation for Ajax Amsterdam as we know it today.

Deportivo Alavés 2020-2021 Third

The design boasts a very more modern look. According to FC Sion, the shirt is intended as a bridge between generations, mixing classic football aesthetics with forward-looking visual elements. The kit will be worn in the final home match at the Stade de Tourbillon.

FC Luzern 125th Anniversary 26-27 Home Kit Released
FC Luzern have unveiled their new 2026-27 home kit, debuting it in the final home game against FC Zürich. Made by Erreà, the new shirt replaces the traditional white details with gold elements, giving the kit a darker and more elegant appearance for the club’s 125th anniversary season.
The new FC Luzern home shirt features a deep navy base combined with gold logos, names and numbers, while subtle ornamental graphics inspired by the Rathaussteg bridge connect the design to the city of Lucerne. A special anniversary crest can also be added to the sleeve.
The red sponsor logo breaks up the design - the Luzern Women team kit comes with a much nicer gold sponsor.
The move away from white is a temporary one, with the club stressing that blue and white remain the official colours of FC Luzern.
