Global Football Shirt Trend: 100+ 2021-22 Kits With Pinstripes

Last season we paid close attention to the football kit market, and were able to identify a global trend of black / gold kits that even carried over to this season.

However, an even bigger trend emerged for the 2021-22 campaign which revolves around pinstripes. We put together over 100 individual football shirts of clubs and countries from all around the world that rely on this simple stylistic element.

This article was created in collaboration with Football Kit Archive. Check out over 35.000 old and new football shirts in the comfortable, easy to use database without duplicates.

Pinstripes are nothing new as a design element of football shirts. They first appeared in the 1980s when OG brands like adidas, Hummel and Umbro started to create unique kits for their most important assets. This was also the era when sports brands discovered the replica market.

Umbro Liverpool 1982-85 Home & Away Kits

In total, we found 105 recently released football shirts with pinstripes from all around the world. Interestingly, most of the jerseys are from football clubs and only a few football associations got the pinstripe treatment recently. This is mostly due to the fact that there are simply way more football clubs than football associations.

24 of 112 football kits with pinstripes are made by adidas

Another anomaly is how many adidas shirts are part of this overview. This is the case because the German sportswear brand has multiple miteam design options with different sorts of pinstripes. Many smaller teams use this customisation service.

Hellas Verona 26-27 Third Kit Released

Hellas Verona and Joma have officially launched the club's new third kit for the 26-27 season. Unveiled under the campaign slogan "Custodi della Storia" (Guardians of History), the jersey celebrates the historical monuments and cultural heritage of the city of Verona.

The Joma Hellas Verona 26-27 third shirt introduces an elegant white base highlighted by an embossed vertical band pattern on the front. This textured detailing reinterprets the ornate gothic ironwork and ornamental shapes of the Arche Scaligere, one of Verona's most famous historic sites. Refined gold accents complete the design, applied to the V-neck collar, sleeve cuffs, Joma branding, and a monochrome edition of the club crest.

Several bespoke elements are worked into the collar construction, including the club's founding year "1903" on the front insert, the phrase "We Are Hellas" printed inside the neck, and the traditional motto "Dai Verona" on the upper back. Matching white shorts and socks with gold detailing round off the full 26-27 third strip.

Arsenal follow closely in third place after securing an £18 million-a-year contract with payroll and HR platform Deel. Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur both collect £15 million annually from their respective partnerships with Expedia and Kraken.

Further down the table, Newcastle United sit on £7.5 million per season with Noon, while Everton and Aston Villa generate £6 million annually from Stake and Betano. Chelsea remain the only notable high-profile side yet to announce a primary sleeve sponsor for the 26-27 campaign.

Buriram United 26-27 Third Kit Released

Thai powerhouse Buriram United have officially unveiled their in-house 26-27 third kit. Produced under the club's own label as is tradition for domestic competitions, the shirt utilizes a very dark navy base covered with subtle geometric cross motifs, complemented by light pink accents across the buttoned collar, monochrome crest, and sponsor graphics. The release has sparked debate among supporters and collectors, as Buriram's 26-27 home kit also relies on a dark navy template, differing primarily by pairing it with coral detailing rather than pink.

Clermont Foot 63 26-27 Third Kit Released

French Ligue 2 club Clermont Foot 63 and Italian brand Kappa have officially unveiled the club's new third kit for the 26-27 season. Deeply rooted in regional pride, the new strip draws inspiration from the distinctive dark Volvic volcanic stone (pierre de Volvic) that defines much of Clermont-Ferrand's historic architecture.

The Kappa Clermont Foot 63 26-27 third jersey features a charcoal base covered in an elaborate line-art illustration across the front. The design incorporates several key regional landmarks and cultural symbols, including the Puy de Dôme volcano, the iconic twin spires of Clermont-Ferrand Cathedral, the Stade Gabriel-Montpied, a football marked with the department number 63, and the traditional Auvergnat gonfanon. Off-white trim on the collar and sleeve cuffs complements the monochrome cream club crest, Kappa Omini emblems, and CA Centre France chest sponsorship.

TSG Hoffenheim 26-27 European Kit Released

German Bundesliga club TSG 1899 Hoffenheim and Italian kit maker Macron have officially unveiled the club's new Euro kit for the 26-27 season. Designed specifically for the Kraichgau side's upcoming UEFA Europa League campaign, the strip marks their first dedicated international jersey under their new multi-year partnership with Macron, who took over from Joma this summer.

The Macron Hoffenheim 26-27 Euro shirt comes in a dark navy blue base overlaid with an eye-catching graphic pattern. Inspired by the stag antlers found in the historic coat of arms of Hoffenheim, the motif is reinterpreted in purple and blended with irregular vertical brushstrokes in blue and purple. According to the brand, this aesthetic synthesizes the visual themes and color palettes seen across Hoffenheim's 26-27 home, away, and third shirts.

Contrasting white details are used on the collar, sleeve cuffs, and along the raglan sleeve seams.

Cittadella 26-27 Third Kit Released

Italian side AS Cittadella and technical sponsor Erreà have officially unveiled the club's new third kit for the 2026-27 campaign. Conceived by Erreà Creative Lab, the strip draws its inspiration directly from the iconic medieval defensive walls that surround the historic city.

The Erreà AS Cittadella 26-27 third shirt combines a predominantly black base with an irregular, lived-in texture that mimics the surface of ancient stone. A striking mix of purple, aqua green, and granata accents enlivens the textured graphic across the front, back, and sleeves. The club's crest is rendered in vibrant aqua green embroidery on the chest, complemented by matching Erreà branding and sponsor detailing, while the club's founding year, 1973, is stitched onto the upper back.

Completing the outfield range alongside the previously launched home and away jerseys, the new third kit is now available through the club's and Erreà's official channels.

Isco Makes Champions League History With Fifth Different Spanish Club

Real Betis captain Isco made European history during his side's return to the UEFA Champions League, inspiring Los Verdiblancos to an exciting 3-2 away victory against Lille. By taking the pitch in Betis' opening fixture, the veteran playmaker became the first footballer in history to appear in the Champions League with five different Spanish clubs, having previously featured in the competition for Valencia, Málaga, Real Madrid, and Sevilla.

Beyond his unique journey across Spanish football, Isco enters the 26-27 campaign holding an unmatched distinction: no active player in this season's competition has won more Champions League titles. The midfielder lifted Europe's most coveted trophy five times during his spell with Real Madrid, triumphing in 2014, 2016, 2017, 2018, and 2022. Betis qualified for the Champions League for the first time in 21 years, and their talisman marked the milestone occasion in style by registering an assist in France to cement his enduring European pedigree.
