Cruz Azul Debuts Special 26-27 Día de Muertos Kit Font
Cruz Azul debuted a custom Día de Muertos kit font during their Liga MX Apertura 2026 fixture against León. Celebrating one of Mexico's most meaningful cultural traditions, La Máquina showcased the commemorative lettering on their navy 26-27 Pirma home shirts as well as the bright green goalkeeper jersey.
The typography introduces custom white digits shaped with vintage flourishes and adorned with delicate Día de Muertos symbolism. Each numeral features an understated skull watermark patterned across the base, highlighted by colorful calavera (sugar skull) illustrations, glowing candles, and flower petals. The official club crest is placed at the base of each number, paired with arched, clean white lettering for the player names.
The celebratory font proved to be a good charm on the pitch, with Cruz Azul securing a 2-1 victory over León to mathematically guarantee their spot in the Apertura 2026 Liguilla. While several Liga MX teams embrace Day of the Dead details each autumn, Cruz Azul's custom Pirma typography was prepared specifically as a one-off matchday feature.
