Footy Headlines Launch New Ranking System For Kit Awards - Here Is How the Best Kit Will Be Decided

Following the launch of their home strip, Girondins de Bordeaux and Hummel have officially unveiled the club's new away kit for the 26-27 season. Amidst severe off-pitch turmoil and administrative relegation to the amateur leagues, the French club has looked to the most celebrated period in its history for design inspiration, presenting a shirt that pays tribute to the famous 1986-87 double-winning side.

The Hummel Bordeaux 26-27 away jersey is predominantly white, framed by dark navy panels across the shoulders and sleeves that house the Danish brand's signature chevrons. A classic white polo collar features discreet red trim along the edges, which is echoed on the sleeve cuffs. Completing the retro aesthetic, the left chest bears the club's circular 1980s crest rather than the modern badge, delivering an unmistakable nod to the golden era.

Presented without a main shirt sponsor, the clean retro shirt maintains a bespoke feel despite the team competing outside the professional ranks in Régional 1. Hummel continues to stand by the club under its multi-year partnership, with the kit priced at €89.95.

Following early physical store sightings in Asia last month, the all-new Croatia 2026-27 away shirt has now gone on sale online at retailers including Pro:Direct Sport and Adidas in China ahead of its formal launch. The jersey represents one of the marquee pieces of Croatia's brand-new technical partnership with Adidas, which officially commenced on August 1 following the end of the nation's 26-year relationship with Nike. Big thanks to @thekitsbaia for the heads-up.

The Adidas Originals Croatia 26-27 away jersey features an EQT Blue base covered in an intricate tonal graphic pattern celebrating traditional Croatian lacemaking, a UNESCO-recognized craft associated with Pag and Lepoglava. Bright red-orange details highlight the V-neck collar, sleeve cuffs, and the signature three stripes along the shoulders. In line with the Originals aesthetic, the shirt features the classic Trefoil logo in white alongside the full-color HNS federation badge, finished with a stylized "Hrvatska" wordmark printed on the upper back.

The white version currently holds a slight lead in sales after being available for longer.

The figures highlight the rapid growth of Legia's retail business. Just four years ago, reaching a similar total of around 13,000 shirt sales took an entire season.

The Hummel Marítimo 26-27 third shirt is predominantly wine red, decorated with an intricate tonal pattern across the front featuring ship helms and ropes woven over a subtle chevron jacquard texture. The shirt is finished with a retro-inspired white collar and cuffs, each highlighted with green and red trims that pay tribute to the club's traditional identity.

Halifax Wanderers FC and kit supplier Hummel have unveiled a special limited-edition retro kit paying tribute to the 1991 Nova Scotia Clippers, the first professional soccer team in the province of Nova Scotia.

The jersey captures the unmistakable look of the early 1990s, when the Clippers competed in the Canadian Soccer League. Styled in a vibrant emerald green base, the shirt is adorned with an all-over chevron jacquard pattern, complemented by a thick white crossover V-neck collar and matching sleeve cuffs. Completing the throwback design is the original Nova Scotia Clippers emblem on the chest alongside Hummel's logo, paired with local brewery Alexander Keith's and its signature stag crest across the front.

Supporters looking to pick up the nostalgic shirt will have to act quickly. The Hummel Halifax Wanderers Nova Scotia Clippers retro kit is scheduled to be sold exclusively in-person at Wanderers Grounds during the club's home match against Inter Toronto on September 20.

Puma and Brazilian side Esporte Clube Bahia have officially unveiled the club's new third kit for the 26-27 campaign. Built around the theme "O Brasil sempre esteve aqui" (Brazil was always here), the jersey was developed in direct collaboration with FINPAT, the Indigenous Federation of the Pataxó and Tupinambá Nations of Far Southern Bahia, placing indigenous heritage and voices at the forefront of the design and release.

The Puma EC Bahia 26-27 third shirt combines a deep blue base with a tonal geometric pattern on the front inspired by traditional Pataxó necklaces. Gold detailing accents the V-neck collar, side panels, Puma cat logos, and a monochromatic Bahia crest. The contrasting shades carry symbolic meaning: blue represents the ocean and waters that are central to the Pataxó people, while gold references Tawá (yellow clay) and the ancestral riches of the land.

A special graphic sign-off reading "O Brasil sempre esteve aqui" is printed in gold on the upper back just below the collar. The kit is set to make its on-pitch debut in the Campeonato Brasileiro fixture against Remo at Arena Fonte Nova.

The Bahrain national football team has officially revealed its new home kit for 2026, marking the nation's first-ever partnership with Adidas after parting ways with Puma.

It arrives in traditional vibrant red, accented by white detailing on the ribbed collar, lower hem trim, and the iconic Three Stripes running down the shoulders. A textured performance fabric carries the modern Bahrain FA crest on the left chest and the white Adidas logo on the right, while the reverse side features 'البحرين' in Arabic script situated directly above bold white 'BAHRAIN' block lettering. Set to make its on-pitch debut at the 27th Arabian Gulf Cup, the shirt was unveiled alongside traditional Bahraini textile and weaving loom motifs celebrating the country's craft heritage.
