While May 2026 blessed us with some incredible football shirt releases ahead of the new domestic season and the 2026 FIFA World Cup, not every design managed to hit the mark. We are handing the power over to you to vote for the Worst Football Kit of May 2026.
Worst Football Kit of May 2026
First and foremost, nit every kit on our list is a definite miss - kits like Arsenal and Manchester City are not considered as very bad kits generally. However, we do not like the idea of a gradient for City, and dislike several things about the Arsenal kit - the monochrome logo, the giant 3 stripes in two colors, and a collar pattern that just not adds up.
There are, however, designs that are more obvisouly not in the good range. Over in the Bundesliga, RB Leipzig and Borussia Mönchengladbach also found themselves in the crosshairs of kit critics with primary jerseys that simply didn't resonate with supporters.

IF Elfsborg 2026 Away Kit Released
The new IF Elfsborg 2026 away kit was officially unveiled today, completing the Swedish Allsvenskan club's set for the current season. It boasts the club's typical red and white color combo.
Even though made by Umbro (through a deal with the regional Umbro trade owner), the fabric looks similar to the Adidas 2022 World Cup Heat.Rdy technology.
Kolding IF 26-27 Home & Away Kits Released
Danish side Kolding IF have officially revealed their new home and away kits for the 2026-27 season, made by Hummel and to be worn in the upcoming 1st Divisiop campaign.
The new home shirt is based on the club's classic blue colors, with elegant pinstripes and distinctive polo collar give a modern twist and pay tribute to tradition. Meamwhile, the away kit introduces a stealth look with dark base and blue geometrical pattern - a total contrast to the classy home kit.

Castellon 26-27 Third Kit Released
La Liga 2 side Castellon have offcially unveiled their new third kit, made by Errea and to be worn in the upcoming 2026-27 season.
The kit features a mint green base with a pattern that pays homage to the regions of the Castellón province, reflecting its territory and identity on the kit of the black and white team. The polo collar and white trim add contrast and elegance to the overall look, combined with full-color crest to round off the design.

Similarity Between Arsenal's 21-22 and 26-27 Kits
Leaked images of the Arsenal 26-27 third kit have many fans comparing it to the club's 21-22 away shirt. Both designs share a very similar light yellow base, a classic round collar, and matching dark blue and red accents.
Although the new jersey introduces a lightning bolt pattern representing the Royal Arsenal logo, this subtle detail might not be enough to make the design feel truly fresh or ground-breaking. Big thanks to @jerseystory_vn for the comparison image.
Manchester United Use Old Champions League Patch in New Kit Promo
In the latest promotional post for their new 26-27 away kit, Manchester United was spotted using an outdated version of the UEFA Champions League patch. The shirt featured the old starball badge with a white border instead of the updated black outline - a minor mistake that also appeared during the club's earlier home kit launch.
Back in 2024, UEFA introduced a redesigned Champions League patch with a outer black border to improve visibility on light-colored jerseys. Since United missed out on Champions League football during the first two seasons of the new design, the club's kit staff might simply still be getting used to the updated spec. Thanks to @jerseystory_vn for the spotted.
