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.

Ceara 20-21 Third

Clermont 2020-21 Third

Deportivo Alavés 2020-2021 Third

Espanyol 20-21 Third

FC Barcelona 2020-21 Away

Heerenveen 2020-2021 Away

Indonesia 20-21 Third

AFC Wimbledon 26-27 Home & Away Kits Released

AFC Wimbledon and Lotto have officially unveiled the club's new home and away kits for the 2026-27 season. The releases celebrate both the club's traditional identity and its rich local history, with both shirts available to purchase from July 4.

The Lotto AFC Wimbledon 2026-27 home shirt introduces a bespoke look in the traditional colors of blue and yellow. Described as blue quartz, the deep and rich base is trimmed in yellow that runs through the collar and cuffs. A standout feature of the design is the extensive use of the famous Lotto logo, which is woven throughout the fabric in a bold repeat pattern.

For the away kit, Lotto and AFC Wimbledon have opted for a striking red and yellow design that pays tribute to the colors worn on the day of their promotion to the top flight on May 3, 1986. The shirt's jacquard fabric is based on the classic Lotto kit worn between 1997 and 1999, featuring a star motif. Additionally, a yellow star on the back honors the Wimbledon Dons, the legendary local speedway team who won seven British championships and were a fixture of Wimbledon life for 77 years.

AFC Wimbledon 26-27 Home Kit Released

The new AFC Wimbledon 2026-27 home kit was officially released today. Made by Lotto, the new kit features the club's traditional colors and will be available to purchase from July 4.

The Lotto AFC Wimbledon 2026-27 home shirt introduces a bespoke look in blue and yellow. The standout feature of the design is the extensive use of the Lotto logo, which is repeated continuously around the collar and the sleeve cuffs.

This repeated logo detailing on the collar and cuffs gives the shirt a distinct retro feel, but it breaks standard equipment regulations for European competitions. Due to the excessive branding, the AFC Wimbledon 2026-27 home kit would not be allowed to be worn in UEFA competitions, but EFL apparently allowed it.
