The Puma Kawasaki Frontale 2026-27 30th anniversary shirt features a classic vertical striped design, reviving a look from the club's past. The jersey combines the team's traditional light blue and black colors in a clean stripe pattern, drawing comparisons from fans to the iconic style of Brazilian club Grêmio.

Hammarby 2026 European Kit Released
Swedish Allsvenskan side Hammarby IF has officially unveiled its new 2026 European kit. Produced by sportswear brand Craft, the jersey will be worn during the club's upcoming UEFA Europa League qualification campaign.

The new European jersey completes Hammarby's extensive wardrobe for the 2026 season, joining the dedicated Cup kit that was introduced in February.
The Hammarby IF 2026 European kit by Craft is available to purchase through the club's official retail channels and their partner Intersport.
