20 Beautiful Japanese Lower Division 2021 Kits
In the past few weeks, all of the Japanese first division teams have released their new kits for the 2021 J1 League season. However, they are not the only Japanese teams that launched new kits - we take a look at the unique jerseys from 10 Japanese lower division teams for the 2021 season, revealing that not only the top teams get custom kits in Japan.
2021 Japanese Lower Division Football Kits
The kits of Japanese lower division teams are mainly not made by Adidas or Nike but by smaller local brands such as Athleta and Mizuno. What is interesting is that Brazilian brand Penalty has quite a few Japanese teams under contract, while they are not active as kit maker on the Brazilian or any other market.
Our three favorite lower-league Japanese football kits featured here are those of Ventforet Kofu (home), Blancdieu Hirosaki (pink - home) and Tochigi City (home).

Harrogate Town 26-27 Home Kit Released
Harrogate Town has officially revealed its new home kit for the 2026-2027 season. Produced by technical sponsor New Balance, the latest primary strip offers a bold and modern twist on the club's traditional yellow and black colors. Following the recent reveal of their striking geometric away jersey, this home release confirms that New Balance is committed to delivering highly bespoke and eye-catching designs for the North Yorkshire side's upcoming campaign.
The New Balance Harrogate Town 26-27 home shirt features a vibrant yellow base, anchored by thick black vertical stripes across the front of the torso. However, instead of traditional solid bands, these stripes are executed with a modern, pixelated halftone gradient effect that fades heavily around the midsection to seamlessly accommodate the black "envirovent" sponsor logo. To ensure a cohesive and sharp aesthetic, the New Balance manufacturer logo and the official club crest are both applied in a sleek black and yellow monochrome finish.
The launch completes the team's set for 2026-2027.
