Japanese club Gamba Osaka and Danish sportswear brand Hummel have officially unveiled the team's new kits for the 26-27 AFC Champions League campaign. Designed specifically for continental competition, the lineup includes Home, Away, and Goalkeeper uniforms featuring unique graphic detailing and updated badge placements.

The 26-27 home kit incorporates a dynamic blue and black design set against a wave-patterned background, complemented by 12 diagonal stripes of varying thickness that symbolize unity between the squad and their supporters. The away jersey arrives in a clean white look with contrasting blue collar and sleeve cuff trim, while the goalkeeper kit is presented in a bright red colorway.

Unlike the domestic J1 League shirts, the continental versions prominently feature a Japanese flag positioned above the crest on the left chest alongside a gold shield patch in the center. Official pre-orders for fan club members begin on August 1, with general availability following on August 6.

The J.League has announced one of its most creative collaboration yet, teaming up with Pokémon for the 'Pokémon J.League Fest 'EVOLUTION!'' campaign ahead of the 2026-27 season.

All 60 clubs across J1, J2 and J3 have been paired with their own Pokémon, with the campaign following each Pokémon's evolution throughout the season across official artwork, graphics and promotional content.

The collaboration also celebrates 30 years of Pokémon (1996-2026) while building excitement for the new J.League campaign, which kicks off on 7 August.

Fans attending matches will receive one of one million exclusive EVO BAGs, each featuring Pikachu alongside the home club's partner Pokémon.

This isn't the first crossover between the two either. Back in 2014, the J.League and Pokémon launched the Family Join Days campaign, where young supporters received exclusive Pikachu trading cards at stadiums.
