Ranking All Nike 21-22 Elite Third Kits
Sep 1, 2021, by Simon
This month, Nike will officialize the 2021-22 third jerseys of their Elite teams. Before the last big releases kick off, we want to take a closer look at Nike's 2021-22 third jerseys and grade them accordingly.
In the 2021-22 season Nike has nine Elite teams after AS Roma joined New Balance before the start of this season - Atlético Madrid, Chelsea FC, FC Barcelona, Galatasaray, Inter Milan, Liverpool, Paris Saint-Germain, RB Leipzig and Tottenham Hotspur.
Nike 21-22 Elite Third Shirts Tier List
In our opinion the Paris Saint-Germain 2021-2022 third shirt clearly leads the pack. This is simply down to the fact that it is innovative as Nike deliberately gives a prominent Swoosh placement a miss. Instead, it features one Swoosh on each sleeve. This one will go down in history.
Normally, Inter Milan's new 21-22 third kit would be first place in our ranking, but the atrocious new sponsor logo completely destroys the look that would have easily been the best Nike 21-22 third shirt without it.
Otherwise, it has to be said that Nike's 21-22 third kits are subpar after the brand was the leading innovative force in the football shirt space for the last few years.
The biggest failure are the Nike 2021-2022 third shirts for Atlético Madrid and Liverpool. Especially Liverpool's third shirt looks extremely clownish with its checkered collar and cuffs. Regarding Tottenham Hotspur's Nike 2021-22 third jersey: this colour combination does not work.
S Tier - Paris Saint-Germain
A Tier - Inter Milan
B Tier - Chelsea FC
C Tier - Galatasaray
D Tier - FC Barcelona
E Tier - Atlético Madrid
F Tier - Tottenham Hotspur & Liverpool

Chattanooga Red Wolves Reveal Vibrant Hispanic Heritage Pre-Match Shirt
USL League One club Chattanooga Red Wolves SC have unveiled a striking special-edition warm-up top in celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month. Worn ahead of the club's annual Hispanic Heritage Night celebrations, the design pays homage to the rich cultural contributions and traditions of the Hispanic and Latino communities within the local area and across the sport.
Set against an off-white base, the standout feature of the shirt is a massive howling wolf graphic across the front. The silhouette of the club's emblem is brought to life through intricate Mesoamerican and folk art motifs, filled with vibrant shades of teal, red, yellow, orange, and violet. Matching cultural diamond patterns run down the red side panels, while the sleeve cuffs are detailed with horizontal sequences representing various Latin American flags.
The reverse side continues the celebratory theme with a sun wheel and mythological fauna gracing the upper back. Centered below is the club's rallying cry, "DALE LOBOS," printed in a bold red textured font and framed by geometric borders.
US Cremonese 26-27 Third Kit Released
Italian club US Cremonese and technical sponsor Acerbis have officially unveiled their new third kit for the 2026-27 campaign. Designed by Cremona native Carlo Enrico Bonvicini, the jersey is built around a deep navy base enhanced by an alternating pattern of glossy and matte tonal pinstripes for subtle depth.
Elegant golden trim outlines the classic polo collar and sleeve cuffs, complemented by monochrome gold sponsor branding and a reimagined two-tone club crest that references 1980s and 1990s iconography alongside the historical Giovanni Baldesio legend.
No More Adidas: Macron Aberdeen 26-27 Third Kit Released
Aberdeen FC and Macron have officially unveiled the club's new third kit for the 2026-27 season. Completing the Dons' wardrobe for the campaign alongside the red home and white away strips, the design takes direct inspiration from Aberdeenshire's iconic Craigievar Castle as the world-famous pink fortress marks its 400th anniversary.
The Aberdeen 26-27 third jersey features a light pink base that recalls the castle's distinctive pink-harled walls. It is enriched by an all-over geometric pattern woven directly into the fabric using Macron's Eco 3D Knit jacquard structure. Anthracite grey covers the raglan sleeves, side panels, cuffs, and ribbed V-neck collar, highlighted with refined silver piping, while the club crest and Macron Hero are both presented in monochrome anthracite on the chest.
Bespoke details include a stylized graphic of Craigievar Castle printed inside the back of the neck, as well as the city's historic "Bon Accord" motto running along the inner silicone hem tape. Pink shorts with anthracite inserts and pink socks finish off the full uniform, which is manufactured entirely from 100% recycled polyester.
All-New Inter Milan 26-27 Champions League Kit Font Released
Inter Milan will have a dedicated name and number font for their new 2026-27 third kit in the UEFA Champions League, something rarely seen from the Nerazzurri in recent years as they have typically used the standard Serie A typography in Europe.
For Serie A, Inter use the standard league typography in Speed Yellow. In the Champions League, however, the Nerazzurri switch to a bespoke 1990s-inspired font with taller, sharper-edged lettering and numbers featuring a thin blue outline, matching the kit's grey.
Interestingly, Inter's 2026-27 home shirt uses the standard Serie A font and was worn in their first Champions League match against Real Madrid. The third kit, meanwhile, features a dedicated Champions League typeface.
Fans can choose between the Serie A and Champions League fonts when customizing the Inter Milan 2026-27 third kit on the club's official web store. This dual-font approach gives the European version a distinct retro feel.
Big thanks to What The Kit for the mockup!
