Chelsea 2026 Heritage 'Pensioners' Collection
Designed in-house (independent of Nike), the collection focuses on "timeless style" and "retro sensibilities".
The new in-house Chelsea 2026 Heritage 'Pensioners' collection is predominantly Navy and White/Cream, but it is accented with flashes of Scarlet Red - a direct nod to the iconic red coats worn by the Royal Hospital Chelsea veterans.
The standout feature of this collection is the revival of the club's very first crest.
Before the lion became the symbol of Stamford Bridge, Chelsea was defined by the image of the "Chelsea Pensioner". The collection features a recreation of the famous "Percy the Pensioner" crest, which served as the team's visual identity from their inception in 1905 until 1952.
This vintage logo is embroidered in gold on navy and white items, bringing a sense of prestige and history that modern logos often lack.
The pieces are predominantly Navy and White/Cream, but they are accented with flashes of Scarlet Red - a direct nod to the iconic red coats worn by the Royal Hospital Chelsea veterans.
The 11-piece range covers a variety of premium leisurewear items:
- Tops: Two T-shirts, two knit polo shirts, and a classic long-sleeve rugby polo.
- Knitwear: A standout cream cable-knit V-neck sweater that screams "Old Money" aesthetic.
- Outerwear: A piping hoodie, a solid navy track jacket with a red zip, and a panelled track jacket featuring a white chest band.
- Bottoms: Matching shorts and track pants.

Harrogate Town 26-27 Home Kit Released
Harrogate Town has officially revealed its new home kit for the 2026-2027 season. Produced by technical sponsor New Balance, the latest primary strip offers a bold and modern twist on the club's traditional yellow and black colors. Following the recent reveal of their striking geometric away jersey, this home release confirms that New Balance is committed to delivering highly bespoke and eye-catching designs for the North Yorkshire side's upcoming campaign.
The New Balance Harrogate Town 26-27 home shirt features a vibrant yellow base, anchored by thick black vertical stripes across the front of the torso. However, instead of traditional solid bands, these stripes are executed with a modern, pixelated halftone gradient effect that fades heavily around the midsection to seamlessly accommodate the black "envirovent" sponsor logo. To ensure a cohesive and sharp aesthetic, the New Balance manufacturer logo and the official club crest are both applied in a sleek black and yellow monochrome finish.
The launch completes the team's set for 2026-2027.

A bucket hat displaying the FC Barcelona 2026-27 home kit has surfaced via @Opaleak. The design prominently showcases the kit's signature striped pattern using multiple shades of red and blue.
The cap section of the hat incorporates Barca text consistent with details from the 2026-27 collection.

The home kit is set to launch in the coming weeks as part of the broader Nike Barcelona range for the season, likely after the World Cp.
