Brusque 2026 Pink October Kit Released
Brazilian club Brusque FC and kit manufacturer Junpe have officially unveiled a special commemorative jersey for Outubro Rosa (Pink October). Designed to raise awareness for breast cancer prevention and encourage women's health checkups, the release continues the club's tradition of dedicated awareness kits for the month of October.
The shirt combines two tones of pink, featuring an eye-catching chevron graphic across the chest over an intricate sublimated fabric texture. Bold black detailing provides strong contrast on the thick ribbed V-neck collar and sleeve cuffs, as well as on all sponsor prints and the Junpe manufacturer logo. The club's traditional yellow, green, and red crest sits in full color on the left breast, topped by three stars.
A bespoke circular seal appears on the lower front with the campaign motto "Jogue pela vida! Cuide de você - Um toque pode virar o jogo" (Play for life! Take care of yourself - One touch can turn the game around), drawing a direct parallel between the sport and the importance of self-examination. The limited-edition jersey is sold through the club's official retail space next to the Augusto Bauer stadium.

The Nike Kashima Antlers 26-27 35th anniversary shirt boasts an elegant two-tone dark navy half-and-half design inspired by the night scenery of Kashima Bay. Breaking away from the club's standard colors, the kit applies full gold detailing throughout, highlighted by the club's first-ever matte gold crest featuring a commemorative 1991/2026 engraving. All sponsor marks, the Nike Swoosh, and the sleeve badge are finished in matching metallic gold.
Navy shorts and socks with gold accents round off the sophisticated look. Fans can customize the kit with gold printing in either Nike's current 26-27 squad font or a recreated version of the club's original 1990s founding-era typography, with Zico's legendary number 10 among the selections. Kashima Antlers are scheduled to wear the special uniform on December 19, 2026, against Tokyo Verdy at MUFG Stadium (Japan National Stadium).
