The design boasts a very more modern look. According to FC Sion, the shirt is intended as a bridge between generations, mixing classic football aesthetics with forward-looking visual elements. The kit will be worn in the final home match at the Stade de Tourbillon.

FC Luzern have unveiled their new 2026-27 home kit, debuting it in the final home game against FC Zürich. Made by Erreà, the new shirt replaces the traditional white details with gold elements, giving the kit a darker and more elegant appearance for the club’s 125th anniversary season.
The new FC Luzern home shirt features a deep navy base combined with gold logos, names and numbers, while subtle ornamental graphics inspired by the Rathaussteg bridge connect the design to the city of Lucerne. A special anniversary crest can also be added to the sleeve.
