Dortmund Wants to Keep Kit Collection Smaller

  • Kit Reduction: Borussia Dortmund will reduce its kit collection size for the 2026-2027 season.
  • No Cup or Special Edition Kits: Dortmund will not release a dedicated Cup kit or a Special Edition jersey in 2026-2027.
  • Unified Sponsor Approach: A unified sponsor approach across all competitions eliminates the need for a separate Cup uniform.

Borussia Dortmund is making a significant change to its uniform strategy for the upcoming 2026-2027 season by actively reducing the size of its kit collection. According to a report from reliable club source Ruhr Nachrichten, the German giants and their technical sponsor Puma will not be releasing a dedicated Cup kit or a Special Edition jersey for the next campaign.

Borussia Dortmund to Have No Cup and Special Edition Kits for 26-27 Season

Dortmund had five kits in the 2025-26 season - in 2026-27, they will "only" have three.

The decision to eliminate the dedicated Cup kit appears to be heavily influenced by a shift in the club's commercial partnerships. Historically, Dortmund utilized separate front-of-shirt sponsors for domestic league matches and cup or European fixtures, essentially necessitating different jersey designs to satisfy contractual obligations. With a unified sponsor approach now reportedly in place across all competitions, the functional need for a separate Cup uniform has dissolved. Furthermore, the club has internally decided to scrap the annual Special Edition release to intentionally keep the overall shirt collection smaller and avoid oversaturating their retail lineup.

The BVB 26-27 26-27 away kit has been described as a much simpler, predominantly black design compared to the more experimental iterations of recent years.

By focusing solely on a streamlined set of core kits, Dortmund is returning to a much more traditional approach for its seasonal wardrobe.

AC Bellinzona 26-27 Home & Away Kits Released

Italian brand Acerbis and Swiss side AC Bellinzona have officially unveiled the club's new home and away kits for the 26-27 season. The Ticino outfit, competing in the Swiss Promotion League, receive a coordinated pair of shirts defined by a bold cross design across the front.

The AC Bellinzona 26-27 home shirt arrives in the club's signature deep granata, highlighted by a prominent white cross spanning across the entire front of the jersey. Reversing the colorway, the 26-27 away jersey uses a clean white base complemented by the same large cross graphic in dark red.

Both jerseys feature a symmetrical, centered layout. The Acerbis wordmark and Bellinzona's diamond-shaped badge sit vertically above each other on the upper chest, while the sponsor emblem is aligned right in the center of the cross.

Ederson Continues Cutting Sleeves at Fenerbahçe

Heading into his second season in the Süper Lig, the 33-year-old goalkeeper was once again spotted taking the pitch in a cut-sleeve jersey. Simply because Fenerbahçe does not offer a short-sleeve kit option from Adidas.

At his previous clubs like Rio Ave, Benfica, and Manchester City, Ederson always had short-sleeve versions to him. His time at Fenerbahçe marks one of the rare instances in his professional career where Ederson has worn long sleeves on the pitch.

Special thanks to What The Kit for the spot and the collage.

Bordeaux 26-27 Away Kit Released

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.
