Barcelona Likely to Wear Third Kit Against PSG
FC Barcelona are set to sport their 26-27 third kit when they travel to face Paris Saint-Germain in the UEFA Champions League at the Parc des Princes on Tuesday, according to reliable club insider memorabilia1899.
The decision comes down to visual contrast under UEFA kit regulations. Both Barcelona's traditional Blaugrana home kit and their darker away option clash with PSG's classic dark navy home shirt. Turning to the alternate strip ensures clear distinction for players, referees, and television viewers alike.
Barcelona's 26-27 Nike third kit features a fresh green and teal color scheme, providing the ideal light contrast against the French champions. While the club has not released an official match-day announcement yet, the fixture will give the retro-styled third strip another prominent European outing under the floodlights in Paris.
Chivas Releases Special 26-27 'Día de Muertos' Kit Font
Mexican giants Chivas Guadalajara debuted a special custom shirt font during their Liga MX Apertura 2026 match against Tigres, celebrating the upcoming Día de Muertos (Day of the Dead) festivities.
Dubbed "Soy Chiva Hasta los Huesos" (Chiva to the Bone), the commemorative numbers were designed in collaboration with Mexican artist Sofy Lupercio. Set against a deep navy base to contrast the club's iconic red-and-white stripes, each digit is filled with colorful Mexican folk motifs. The intricate pattern includes traditional calaveras, goat-horned skulls referencing the club's Chivas identity, vibrant flowers, papel picado, and football icons, topped with the club crest.
This festive typography follows closely behind the release of the club's charrería-inspired "Herencia Sagrada" 26-27 third kit. While the player names retain the standard navy block lettering, the limited-edition squad numbers provide a vibrant, culturally rich tribute to one of Mexico's most cherished traditions.
