Aston Villa have revealed a special-edition customisation for their 26-27 home kit, prepared for their upcoming pre-season friendly against Bayern Munich at Hong Kong's Kai Tak Stadium on August 7. The special release includes an exclusive chest match patch and unique gold back-of-shirt typography, designed specifically for the Asia tour fixture.
Positioned in the center of the chest, the shield-shaped patch features traditional Asian motifs, including a golden dragon and lion motif alongside five stars and the text "HONG KONG 7 AUG 2026." On the back, the shirts feature gold player numbers and namesets accompanied by Chinese characters positioned above the squad numbers, creating a distinct limited-edition look for the clash in East Asia.
The customisation is available through select retail outlets during Villa's pre-season tour. The match against Bayern Munich in Hong Kong serves as a showcase event during the club's 26-27 pre-season schedule.

FC Bayern München has officially unveiled two special-edition shirt namesets for their 26-27 pre-season Audi Summer Tour across South Korea and Hong Kong. Designed in collaboration with adidas and Hypebeast, the custom flocking designs will be worn on Bayern's 26-27 home and away kits during their friendly matches against Jeju SK and Aston Villa.
Each fixture features a unique font design rooted in local art and traditional culture. For the match on Jeju Island, South Korean artist Dohee Kwon created a design inspired by Gime, a traditional paper craft unique to Jeju that is tied to local rituals, incorporating sun and moon graphics into the numbers. For the friendly in Hong Kong, local artist Kristopher Ho crafted a gold-accented font featuring dragon motifs inspired by ancient Chinese aesthetics.
Both special-edition kit fonts are limited releases tied directly to the tour. The Jeju nameset is available exclusively at official pop-up stores on Jeju Island, while the Hong Kong font is sold solely through FC Bayern pop-up stores and partner retail locations in Greater China.
