In the 2026-2027 season, Dutch club PSV will wear a fan-designed third football kit. PSV and Puma already launched the contest to design the third jersey for the 2026-2027 season on 18 March 2024, with entries being accepted until 31 March.
PSV 26-27 Third Kit Contest
Unlike traditional jersey design processes, which are usually conducted behind closed doors years in advance, this competition allows fans to not only get part of the process but also design the whole kit.
Indeed, the contest is very similar to the one of BVB for the 2023-24 season home kit, also conducted in partnership with Puma.
Design Submission and Selection Process
Fans could submit their designs until March 31. After the submission deadline, all entries were reviewed by a select group of prominent PSV figures, including Luuk de Jong, Marcel Brands, and Peter Bosz. This panel shortlisted a total six designs, created by five designers.
These six finalists were announced by the club on June 5, 2024, with the final vote taking place until June 12 on psv.nl/fandesign.
Design 1 by Koen Mantel
Koen's shirt, titled "Where stars are born," serves as a tribute to the promising talents of PSV, celebrating the club's rich history and bright future. The star pattern is inspired by the iconic Philips logo, honoring PSV's historical roots. The shirt features a contemporary color combination of dark purple and pink, inspired by the infinite universe.
Design 2 by Dirk van Gaal
Dirk's design aims to capture the essence of PSV, reflecting both its glorious past and vibrant present. The shirt incorporates elements that define PSV, such as the classic and current logos, the iconic stripes of the home shirt, and the energetic spirit of Eindhoven.
The design is enriched with Brabant blocks and a touch of Philips, finished in the characteristic Philips blue. Dirk's shirt is a tribute to the colors, the club, and the city, blending historical elements with contemporary vibes to celebrate PSV's enduring legacy and dynamic spirit.
Design 3 by Dirk van Gaal
Dirk's second shirt design highlights the unbreakable bond between PSV and its supporters. This design captures the unity and strength shared by the team and its fans. The shirt features classic stripes in red, white, and Philips blue, representing the colors seen in the stands at every home and away match.
Design 4 by Daan Sanders
Daan's shirt design centers around the color green, symbolizing growth and connection, values that have defined PSV since 1913. The shirt pays homage to De Herdgang, PSV's green oasis where talent flourishes, and De Wielewaal estate, where Mr. Frits lived and which will soon become a communal space for all of Eindhoven.
Subtle classic PSV stripes and a retro Eindhoven pattern are incorporated to bridge the past and present, creating a timeless tribute to the club.
Design 5 by Sander Herijgers
Sander's PSV third kit design for 2026-2027, named the "Eindhoven CITY MAP shirt," prominently features a green map of Eindhoven. The PSV logo is proudly placed on the left chest, woven into the map precisely where the iconic Philips Stadium is located, highlighting the city's beating heart. The shirt's green gradient further emphasizes this central theme.
The bright orange color serves as a signal color, representing passion, energy, and enthusiasm, and is synonymous with the Netherlands as a football nation. This vibrant color conveys a powerful message and adds to the shirt's dynamic appearance.
Design 6 by Esmee Dieteren
Esmee's shirt design, "For the colours, the club and the city," celebrates both PSV and Eindhoven. The design pays tribute to Eindhoven's iconic city logo.

No More Adidas: Macron Aberdeen 26-27 Third Kit Released
Aberdeen FC and Macron have officially unveiled the club's new third kit for the 2026-27 season. Completing the Dons' wardrobe for the campaign alongside the red home and white away strips, the design takes direct inspiration from Aberdeenshire's iconic Craigievar Castle as the world-famous pink fortress marks its 400th anniversary.
The Aberdeen 26-27 third jersey features a light pink base that recalls the castle's distinctive pink-harled walls. It is enriched by an all-over geometric pattern woven directly into the fabric using Macron's Eco 3D Knit jacquard structure. Anthracite grey covers the raglan sleeves, side panels, cuffs, and ribbed V-neck collar, highlighted with refined silver piping, while the club crest and Macron Hero are both presented in monochrome anthracite on the chest.
Bespoke details include a stylized graphic of Craigievar Castle printed inside the back of the neck, as well as the city's historic "Bon Accord" motto running along the inner silicone hem tape. Pink shorts with anthracite inserts and pink socks finish off the full uniform, which is manufactured entirely from 100% recycled polyester.
All-New Inter Milan 26-27 Champions League Kit Font Released
Inter Milan will have a dedicated name and number font for their new 2026-27 third kit in the UEFA Champions League, something rarely seen from the Nerazzurri in recent years as they have typically used the standard Serie A typography in Europe.
For Serie A, Inter use the standard league typography in Speed Yellow. In the Champions League, however, the Nerazzurri switch to a bespoke 1990s-inspired font with taller, sharper-edged lettering and numbers featuring a thin blue outline, matching the kit's grey.
Interestingly, Inter's 2026-27 home shirt uses the standard Serie A font and was worn in their first Champions League match against Real Madrid. The third kit, meanwhile, features a dedicated Champions League typeface.
Fans can choose between the Serie A and Champions League fonts when customizing the Inter Milan 2026-27 third kit on the club's official web store. This dual-font approach gives the European version a distinct retro feel.
Retro 1980s Aesthetic: Newcastle United 26-27 Originals Retro Collection Released
Adidas and Newcastle United have officially released their latest retro lifestyle capsule, dubbed the adidas Originals Culturewear collection. Taking heavy inspiration from the club's classic 1980s training wear, the collection was first showcased on first-team players arriving ahead of Premier League action before rolling out for Mags+ members and hitting general sale.
The range adopts a clean color palette of dark navy, white, and subtle light blue accents. A defining highlight across every piece is the use of Newcastle United's iconic circular 1980s crest—originally seen between 1983 and 1988—paired alongside the classic embroidered adidas Trefoil emblem. The capsule features a standout long-sleeve white jersey boasting a tonal jacquard pattern, a color-blocked zip-up track top, a matching navy hoodie, a chest-band graphic t-shirt, and straight-leg track pants. The lineup is completed by a matching pair of adidas Handball Spezial sneakers crafted in light blue suede with a gum sole.
Arnaut Danjuma Still Wearing Adidas F50 Adizero IV 'Battle' Remake Boots
Dutch attacker Arnaut Danjuma is proving that great boots never go out of style, as he continues to lace up in the reissued Adidas F50 Adizero IV from the 2014 World Cup Battle Pack. While most professional players frequently rotate into the newest generation speed models, Danjuma has maintained an impressive loyalty to the limited-edition retro release years after its drop.
The boot in question is the 2022 Speed Legacy Pack remake of the legendary F50 Adizero IV, which originally dominated the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil on the feet of top scorers like James Rodríguez, Robin van Persie, and Thomas Müller. The reissue faithfully revived the distinctive black-and-white geometric upper pattern with metallic gold three stripes, while modernizing the underfoot tech with the lightweight Carbitex Speedframe tooling borrowed from the X Speedflow.
Rosario Central 26-27 Third Kit Released
Rosario Central and Le Coq Sportif have officially launched the club's new third kit for the 26-27 campaign. Named "La Calesita," the jersey completes a special collection celebrating the centenary of the Estadio Gigante de Arroyito, paying tribute to the ground's architecture and the vibrant atmosphere created by the club's supporters.
The Le Coq Sportif Rosario Central 26-27 third shirt moves away from traditional blue and yellow stripes in favor of a deep dark petrol base, accented by bright yellow paneling along the shoulders and sleeves. Running vertically down the front is a perspective graphic inspired by stadium seating, creating an expanding vanishing point that evokes the scale of the Gigante de Arroyito and the sweeping movement of the famous "calesita" banners hung by the fans.
Crafted from Jacquard polyester fabric, the jersey is finished with a two-tone V-neck collar, high-definition embroidered club crests, and a specialized authenticity seal that reveals UV-reactive Le Coq Sportif details. Dark petrol shorts and vibrant yellow socks complete the new Rosario Central 26-27 third kit.
Reggina 26-27 Home & Away Kits Released
Italian club AS Reggina 1914 and technical partner Givova have officially unveiled the club's new home, away, and goalkeeper kits for the 26-27 season. Drawing profound inspiration from the historical landmarks and archaeological heritage of Reggio Calabria, each shirt tells a distinct story rooted in local identity.
The Reggina 26-27 home kit arrives in the club's traditional amaranto shade, decorated with an intricate geometric graphic on the front panel inspired by the ancient Roman Baths of Reggio Calabria. Givova's white logos sit on the chest and sleeves, matching the kit's clean numbering and completing an all-amaranto look with coordinating shorts and socks.
For the away strip, Givova delivers a predominantly white design accented by an amaranto collar, side panels, and sleeve trim. The front of the shirt features subtle vertical band patterns drawn from the ornate mosaics at the Roman Villa of Casignana, accompanied by a retro 1990s-style club badge. Completing the set, the goalkeeper kit stands out in vibrant green, adorned with claret details and a striking circular motif portraying Calabria's traditional apotropaic masks.
