Genoa CFC and Kappa have officially unveiled the club's new third kit for the 2026-27 season. Celebrating Genoa's 133rd anniversary, the new shirt pays direct tribute to the maritime history of the city and the club's British founding fathers, who established Italy's oldest active football club in 1893.
Genoa 26-27 Third Kit
Check out Kappa's Genoa 26-27 third shirt below.
The new Kappa Genoa 26-27 third jersey features bold horizontal hoops in the club's classic dark red and deep navy blue. The horizontal stripe motif provides a distinct nautical aesthetic, reflecting both Genoa's port heritage and classic seafaring styles.
Golden accents add a refined touch throughout the kit. On the left chest sits a standalone metallic gold Griffin emblem, dispensing with the standard club crest outline.
The Kappa Omini logos on the right chest and shoulders, as well as the main shirt sponsor, are also rendered in matching gold. A notable finishing detail is placed on the upper back just below the collar, where a printed Union Jack highlights the club's English origins.
Navy blue shorts and socks with red and gold details complete the look.
Genoa 25-26 vs 26-27 Third Kit

Adidas Gives Czechia and Singapore Identical Kit Designs
Following Czechia's high-profile switch from Puma to Adidas after 33 years, kit enthusiasts quickly spotted an uncanny similarity between Czechia's newly unveiled 26-27 home shirt and another recent Adidas addition: Singapore. Both national teams recently parted ways with long-term suppliers, with Singapore ending a two-decade partnership with Nike just weeks before Czechia ended their three-decade Puma era, only for both to receive remarkably similar shirts from the Three Stripes.
The resemblance between the two red shirts is unmistakable. Both jerseys rely on the exact same template and trim styling, built around a red base with a white crew collar bordered by thin navy blue piping, matching white sleeve cuffs with identical navy trim, and white Three Stripes across the shoulders. The primary visual difference is found in the texture of the fabric, as Singapore's kit incorporates a subtle tonal wave pattern, whereas Czechia's jersey arrives in a plain, solid red finish. Even the promotional launch shots look almost mirrored, with both federations photographing players seated or standing while holding an Adidas Tiro football.
The duplication stems from Adidas' streamlined template strategy when signing new federations on tight turnaround times. With both agreements sealed relatively late in the cycle, bespoke tailor-made graphics were kept to a minimum, resulting in what fans have labeled accidental twin kits on opposite sides of the globe.
Closer Look: Raphinha Tests Next-Gen Adidas Predator 27 Prototype Boots
FC Barcelona winger Raphinha has become the latest star to be spotted testing the next-generation Adidas Predator 2027 prototype boots. Following recent sightings of Jules Koundé and Anthony Gordon, the Brazilian forward laced up the unreleased fold-over tongue model during training, offering the clearest on-pitch look yet at what the Three Stripes have prepared for their flagship control silo.
Barcelona Debut Red Shorts and Socks Variant
Barcelona officially debuted a red shorts and socks variant with their 2026-27 home shirt in the away match against Valencia, avoiding a potential kit clash.
The combination was previously used in a friendly against Birmingham City last month and is set to be used regularly throughout the season. It also marks the fourth time in the last five seasons that Barcelona have used red as a supplementary colour alongside their home shirt.
The new combination made a memorable competitive debut as Barcelona secured a 5-0 win over Valencia.

SV Zulte Waregem 26-27 Third Kit Released - 25th Anniversary Design
Belgian side SV Zulte Waregem and kit supplier Patrick have officially released their new third kit for the 26-27 season. Celebrating the club's silver jubilee marking 25 years since their formation in 2001, Essevee swap out their traditional red, green, and white colours for an understated black and silver look dubbed "Memories worth a touch of silver."
The Patrick SV Zulte Waregem 26-27 third jersey features a black base detailed with thin vertical silver pinstripes down the front. A closer inspection reveals that the pinstripes incorporate handwritten script documenting key milestones and dates throughout the club's history, highlighting achievements such as their inaugural 2001-02 title and their memorable 2012-13 campaign as league runners-up.
Completing the anniversary aesthetic, the jersey is finished with a silver V-neck collar and matching sleeve cuffs. All branding—including the monochrome SV Zulte Waregem club crest, Patrick maker's marks, and primary sponsors iDocta and Elindus—appears in silver and white to match the unified commemorative design.
Napoli Wears Last Season's Shorts Against Inter - Here Is Why
In their Serie A clash against Inter at San Siro, SSC Napoli caught the attention of eagle-eyed Napoli kit expert @TutelaMagliaNA. For the 26-27 centenary season, EA7 designed two distinct pairs of white shorts: the home shorts carry the club's special centenary crest, while the away version features an alternate Mount Vesuvius-themed logo. Because the red jersey used the standard circular Napoli crest, pairing it with either of the 26-27 white shorts would have caused a clash of emblems on the same uniform.
Rather than producing a third set of white change shorts solely to carry the standard badge, Napoli simply reused their plain white match shorts from 25-26.
