FC Dordrecht 26-27 Third Kit Released
, by Chris
FC Dordrecht and kit supplier Capelli Sport have unveiled the club's new third kit for the 26-27 season, launched on World Freedom Day. Following up on the club's away kit, which honored the historic First Free States Assembly of 1572, this new release moves the timeline forward to 1783. It commemorates the Dutch Patriot movement and the founding of the citizen militia De Vrijheid in Dordrecht, celebrating the ideals of personal liberty and democratic spirit.
The jersey has a black base dominated by bright yellow-gold rays radiating outwards across the chest and torso. At the heart of the design stands the Maiden of Freedom (Vrijheidsmaagd), a traditional civic symbol of liberty, with the beams representing enlightenment, reason, and the freedom of independent thought. A contrasting yellow crew neck collar, matching sleeve trim, and yellow Capelli shoulder details accent the dark base, paired with white sponsor branding on the front.
A number of bespoke touches finish off the jersey. The historic phrase "Dese beminnen wy" appears on the exterior, while "Republiek Dordrecht" is printed inside the collar and on an authentic hem tag, which features an illustration of supporter Jan van Nieuwenhoven as an embodiment of the era's civic ideals. FC Dordrecht will wear the new third kit for the first time on November 14 against Heracles Almelo.
