- Trefoil Logo: Benfica's away kit for the 2026-27 season will feature the Adidas Trefoil logo.
- Kit Design: The away shirt must be white, with a red Adidas Trefoil logo, and a full-color club crest due to new kit rules.
- Elite Status: Benfica is likely to be elevated to Adidas's "Elite" club status, granting them player-issue kits and greater marketing focus.
Footy Headlines can exclusively leak that Benfica will feature the iconic Adidas Trefoil logo on their away kit for the 2026-27 season.
This move signals a significant step up in the club's partnership with Adidas and suggests they will be promoted to an 'Elite' club.
Benfica to Get Trefoil Logo in 26-27 Season
Benfica will receive the Trefoil logo on their away kit for the 2026-27 season. This news aligns perfectly with Adidas's overall strategy for the 2026-27 season.
As previously revealed by Footy Headlines, Adidas will be shifting the Trefoil logo from the third kits (as seen in 25-26 season) to the away kits for all their elite clubs. Benfica receiving a Trefoil away kit confirms they are set to be part of this Trefoil collection.
Based on Benfica's own strict kit guidelines, which will be effective from the 2026-27 season, we have a clear idea of what the kit will look like.
- The away shirt must be white.
- The Adidas Trefoil logo will likely be red.
- The full-color club crest is mandatory, as monochrome logos are forbidden under the new rules.
Benfica to Become Adidas Elite Team?
The inclusion of Benfica in the 26-27 Trefoil program strongly implies they will be elevated to an "Elite" club status. This would be a major development for the Lisbon-based club.
As an elite team, Benfica would receive authentic player-issue kits featuring Adidas's latest performance technology (expected to be called Climacool+). They would also benefit from a broader range of apparel and a greater global marketing focus from Adidas.
After being notably excluded from the 25-26 Trefoil third kit collection, this development indicates that the club's reported unhappiness with Adidas has been resolved, placing them among the brand's elite teams.

No More Nike: Adidas Croatia 2026 Training Kits Revealed
Following their switch from Nike to Adidas, Croatia's new training kit set for 2026 have been unveiled in the latest training camp for youth teams' goalkeepers.
However from what we've seen, both of the new jerseys are simply from Adidas Tiro 26 League template range, using default black and grey color choices. These are very likely just temporary options for the mean time, until the actual designs with probably bespoke colorways are officially released.

FC Barcelona 26-27 Third Kit Font Leaked
Following the leak of FC Barcelona's 26-27 third kit, kit expert @memorabilia1899 has provided a first look at the custom typeface that will feature on the back of the jersey. The bespoke font design continues Nike's trend of pairing unique typography with its high-profile club kit releases for the season.
The typography features a sharp, geometric design with clean blocky angles for the player numbers, rendered in dark navy blue and bordered by a bright red outline. The player name is printed in arched, bold sans-serif lettering using the same color scheme, perfectly matching the teal body and red trim of the shirt.
This custom typeface will be worn on Barcelona's 26-27 third kit during cup fixtures and selected league games where customized fonts are permitted. The contrasting red outline gives the player names and numbers clear visibility against the light teal graphic backdrop.
