Digital kit creator @gollofootball has created an intriguing overview visualizing how next season's shirts could look for Europe's biggest clubs based on this information.
27-28 Kit Leaks & Design Directions
Several major clubs are set for eye-catching visual shifts in the 2027-28 season. FC Barcelona returns to multiple thin stripes in darker Blue Void and Deep Garnet tones complemented by Mineral Yellow branding. Meanwhile, Chelsea look set to bring back gold accents on their blue base for the first time since the 2012-13 season, and Liverpool are expected to feature a subtle tonal checkered pattern. Elsewhere, Tottenham Hotspur are slated to use their historic THFC monogram crest, and Inter Milan are combining blue and black with a rare blend of white and yellow trim.
While these mockups provide an accurate idea of the official color codes and basic info (except for Barcelona, which is almost a final leak), the final retail jerseys will notably differ for sure.

Giant Adidas Three Stripes on Long-Sleeve Kits Are Truly “Disaster”
Adidas introduced enlarged Three Stripes across its performance templates ahead of the 2026 World Cup, rolling the look out across club teams for the 26-27 season. Designed to maximize on-pitch brand visibility, the wider striping measures around 18mm across. However, its competitive rollout has drawn criticism from kit enthusiasts and fans who feel the oversized proportions overwhelm the aesthetic balance of modern kits.
The visual disruption is especially noticeable on long-sleeved shirts. When worn on pitch by players like Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes, the thick white stripes command the shoulders and arms, dwarfing surrounding elements like the collar and sleeve patches. While short-sleeved shirts offer breaks in coverage, the continuous run of oversized stripes down full-length sleeves makes the branding feel excessively dominant.
Despite the pushback, Adidas is expected to retain this oversized stripe template through at least the 27-28 campaign.
SK Brann 2026 Third Kit Released
Norwegian club SK Brann and Nike have officially unveiled their new third kit for the 2026 season, paying tribute to the club's historic 1976 Norwegian Cup-winning side on its 50th anniversary.
The jersey is predominantly white, highlighted by red vertical striping running down the right chest behind the red Nike Swoosh, red sponsor branding, and a monochrome red club crest. Debuted on pitch during their Eliteserien away clash against Sandefjord, the new release completes Brann's 2026 kit collection alongside their previously launched home and away shirts.
Rochdale AFC 26-27 Third Kit Released
Rochdale AFC and Irish kit manufacturer O'Neills have officially unveiled the club's new third kit for the 26-27 season. The shirt features a vibrant yellow base adorned with an all-over wave graphic inspired by the local River Roch. It is framed by bold black accents on the v-neck collar, sleeve cuffs, and side panels, while a centrally stacked monochrome Rochdale crest, O'Neills logo, and Crown Oil sponsor complete the look.
CD Nacional 26-27 Away Kit Released
Portuguese Primeira Liga club CD Nacional has officially unveiled its new away kit for the 26-27 season, designed by Italian brand Kappa. The Madeira-based side completes their lineup for the campaign with an eye-catching, refined colorway.
The Kappa CD Nacional 2026-27 away shirt is predominantly golden, accented with subtle white vertical pinstripes running down the front and back. The jersey features a classic polo collar trimmed in white, detailed with the club's founding year, 1910, placed in the neckline insert. Both the Kappa Omini logo and the CD Nacional crest are centered on the chest in white and gold, above the white Coral Cerveja sponsor print.
PSM Makassar 26-27 Home Kit Released
Indonesian club PSM Makassar and Adidas have officially launched their new home kit for the 26-27 season. Featuring the club's signature maroon base, the shirt introduces a patterned horizontal design across the front panel paired with a monochrome Pinisi boat crest on the left chest. Complemented by white Three Stripes on the shoulders, a white collar trim, and cultural Lontara script on the upper back, the strip is available in both short-sleeve and long-sleeve versions.
Adidas River Plate 27-28 Trefoil Track Jacket Concept
