This picture shows the Puma Palermo 2026-2027 third jersey.
The Puma Palermo 2026-2027 third jersey is predominantly "Flat Dark Gray," providing a stealthy canvas for the rest of the design. To capture the vibrant energy of a Palermo night out, this dark base is paired with striking contrasting accents in "Team Light Pink" and "Electric Peppermint" (Flat Dark Gray / Team Light Pink / Electric Peppermint).
The centerpiece of the design is the historic 1987 Palermo crest, which returns to the club's kits for the first time to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the classic emblem featuring a shield with diagonal stripes and a right-facing eagle. The shirt is completed by a Korean-style button collar.
For several recent seasons, a black and pink color combination has been the familiar and traditional choice for Palermo's away shirts. However, for the 2026-2027 campaign, Puma has officially shifted this iconic dark colorway to serve as the club's third jersey.

Premium Material Returns to the World Cup Champions Badge
Alongside the second star above the crest, Spain officially unveiled a new 3D embossed World Champions badge during their recent 3-2 victory over England in the UEFA Nations League. This badge previously appeared on Spain's jersey after their 2026 FIFA World Cup triumph.
Compared to the heat-applied plastic version seen on Argentina's kits, the new badge from Cromotransfer offers a significantly more premium look, featuring an embossed surface and a multi-layered structure. Before that, Adidas has increasingly shifted to pre-applying tournament and champions badges directly in its manufacturing facilities.
However, this upgrade will be exclusive to the authentic player-version jerseys. The fan-version replica shirts will continue to feature the standard heat-transferred plastic badge.
Big thanks to @whatthekit_x for the collage.
