Toronto are the first MLS club to get a third kit since Atlanta United in 2021. In total, four MLS teams will receive a third kit in 2023 - Atlanta United, Toronto FC, and two others. MLS teams can earn a third kit if they sell more than 100,000 kits during a timeframe that was not disclosed.

Adidas x Poland
We finally got the first detailed information about the return of the Three Stripes to Poland. More very soon.
Giant Adidas Three Stripes on Long-Sleeve Kits Overwhelm Aesthetic
Adidas introduced enlarged Three Stripes across its performance templates ahead of the 2026 World Cup, rolling the look out across club teams for the 26-27 season. Designed to maximize on-pitch brand visibility, the wider striping measures around 18mm across. However, its competitive rollout has drawn criticism from kit enthusiasts and fans who feel the oversized proportions overwhelm the aesthetic balance of modern kits.
The visual disruption is especially noticeable on long-sleeved shirts. When worn on the pitch by players like Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes, the thick white stripes command the shoulders and arms, dwarfing surrounding elements like the collar and sleeve patches. While short-sleeved shirts offer breaks in coverage, the continuous run of oversized stripes down full-length sleeves makes the branding feel excessively dominant.
Despite the pushback, Adidas will retain this oversized stripe template through at least the 27-28 campaign.
SK Brann 2026 Third Kit Released
Norwegian club SK Brann and Nike have officially unveiled their new third kit for the 2026 season, paying tribute to the club's historic 1976 Norwegian Cup-winning side on its 50th anniversary.
The jersey is predominantly white, highlighted by red vertical striping running down the right chest behind the red Nike Swoosh, red sponsor branding, and a monochrome red club crest. Debuted on pitch during their Eliteserien away clash against Sandefjord, the new release completes Brann's 2026 kit collection alongside their previously launched home and away shirts.
Rochdale AFC 26-27 Third Kit Released
Rochdale AFC and Irish kit manufacturer O'Neills have officially unveiled the club's new third kit for the 26-27 season. The shirt features a vibrant yellow base adorned with an all-over wave graphic inspired by the local River Roch. It is framed by bold black accents on the v-neck collar, sleeve cuffs, and side panels, while a centrally stacked monochrome Rochdale crest, O'Neills logo, and Crown Oil sponsor complete the look.
CD Nacional 26-27 Away Kit Released
Portuguese Primeira Liga club CD Nacional has officially unveiled its new away kit for the 26-27 season, designed by Italian brand Kappa. The Madeira-based side completes their lineup for the campaign with an eye-catching, refined colorway.
The Kappa CD Nacional 2026-27 away shirt is predominantly golden, accented with subtle white vertical pinstripes running down the front and back. The jersey features a classic polo collar trimmed in white, detailed with the club's founding year, 1910, placed in the neckline insert. Both the Kappa Omini logo and the CD Nacional crest are centered on the chest in white and gold, above the white Coral Cerveja sponsor print.
