Pohang Steelers

Pohang Steelers and Puma have unveiled a special-edition kit for 2026, produced in collaboration with Korean lifestyle brand House of Romantic. Developed under the club's 'Heritage Project', the jersey commemorates one of the greatest eras in Pohang history: their back-to-back Asian Club Championship triumphs during the 1996-97 and 1997-98 seasons.

The shirt steps away from the club's traditional black and red stripes, reviving the vibrant sky blue color scheme worn throughout that mid-90s continental winning run. It features a retro-inspired white spread collar, matching sleeve cuffs, and white Puma branding. On the chest sits an ornate, bespoke heritage crest adorned with local symbols of Pohang, including the sunrise, flames, steel, and Homi Cape.

Alongside the jersey, the capsule includes an archival track jacket, caps, and lifestyle merchandise. The promotional shoot was staged in everyday Pohang settings such as the local Jukdo Market and modeled by current players together with head coach Park Tae-ha, who was a key player for the club during the original championship era. The Steelers are scheduled to wear the kit on the pitch on October 18 against FC Anyang.
