Parma’s Third Kit and Other Club Jerseys for 2026-27

Parma go neon, Victory change hands, Sedan go gothic, Germany say goodbye, Barça sharpen the cross. The next kit cycle is already swinging hard.

Parma’s third shirt turns the volume up

Parma Calcio and Puma have completed the club’s 2026-27 wardrobe with a third kit that doesn’t bother with subtlety.

The shirt is built on a deep black base, lit up by high-contrast neon pink detailing. A refined single-button collar carries a flash of that same vivid trim, which runs onto the sleeve cuffs and into dynamic underarm panels that break up the darkness.

Every logo on the front – club crest, manufacturer, sponsor – hits in striking pink. On the upper back, a graffiti-style “Writing Our Future” graphic cuts across the fabric, a bold slogan for a club intent on writing a new chapter.

With the home and away already out, this third kit closes Parma’s 26-27 set with a jolt of street energy.

Melbourne Victory close the Macron era and go “Melbourne Born”

On the other side of the world, A-League side Melbourne Victory have drawn a line under their partnership with Italian supplier Macron and stepped into a new, homegrown alliance.

Australian activewear brand Elite Eleven has signed on as Victory’s official Technical Kit and Apparel Partner for the next four seasons, starting in 2026-27. A Melbourne club, a Melbourne brand – the identity is no accident.

The announcement dropped alongside the launch of the club’s 26-27 training and lifestyle collection, wrapped in the campaign slogan “Melbourne Born. Melbourne Worn.” The message is clear: this is local, this is theirs.

Fans don’t have to wait. The training range is already on sale, with players and supporters set to wear it long before a ball is kicked. The main event, though, is still under wraps: Victory’s new 26-27 home and away kits are scheduled for an official unveiling in early October.

A new supplier, a new look, and a fresh four-year cycle just as the club looks to reassert itself in the A-League.

Sedan’s gothic third kit completes the Kappa reboot

In France, CS Sedan Ardennes have rounded off their first full collection with new technical partner Kappa by unveiling a third kit that leans into modern lifestyle cues without forgetting where the club comes from.

The 2026-27 third jersey is predominantly black, but the eye goes straight to the chest: a bold, gothic-style “ARDENNES” wordmark stretches across the front, a statement as much as a design choice.

The club crest sits on the left in a clean monochrome white badge, matched by white Kappa Omini logos on the right chest and along the shoulders. Around the sleeves, subtle red and green trim nods to Sedan’s traditional colours, a quiet reminder beneath the stark black canvas.

Black shorts and socks finish the Kappa CS Sedan Ardennes 26-27 third strip, giving the club a sharp, contemporary option alongside their retro green home and off-white away shirts.

Adidas and Germany prepare a farewell on the pitch

Few kit stories carry the emotional weight of this one. Adidas CEO Björn Gulden has confirmed that the German national team will wear a special farewell shirt in their UEFA Nations League matches in late 2026, marking the final chapter of a partnership that has defined eras.

Speaking on the Spielmacher podcast, Gulden revealed that a dedicated farewell jersey will be released and worn in those fixtures as Adidas closes out its legendary seven-decade run with the German Football Association (DFB). Big thanks were given to MiaSanMia for highlighting the news.

The relationship began in 1954, the year of the “Miracle of Bern”, and has stretched across all four of Germany’s men’s World Cup triumphs and multiple European Championship titles. From black-and-white classics to bold modern experiments, Adidas and Germany have moved through football history together.

Nike will take over as DFB’s official kit supplier at the start of 2027. That means the upcoming Nations League games will be the last time Die Mannschaft step out in Adidas on-pitch.

Leaked images suggest the farewell shirt will be fittingly nostalgic: a predominantly black base, vertical gold diamond pinstripes running down the front, the iconic Adidas Trefoil on the chest and a classic DFB crest alongside it. A retro V-neck collar and cuff detailing complete a design that looks back over one of the most successful kit partnerships the sport has ever seen.

One final bow, under the lights, in three stripes.

Barça’s Sant Jordi cross steps into focus

While Germany prepare to close a chapter, Barcelona are lining up another special edition.

New renders have surfaced showing how the leaked Nike FC Barcelona 2026-27 fourth shirt could look in action. Created by Barcelona shirt specialist memorabilia1899, the mockups place summer signing Anthony Gordon and midfielder Pedri in the new colours, giving fans a first real sense of the design on the move.

The concept is rooted in Catalan identity. The fourth jersey is inspired by Sant Jordi (Saint George), the patron saint of Catalonia. A light beige base sets the stage, dominated by a bold maroon cross slashed across the front – a direct, unmistakable symbol.

Dark navy details sharpen the edges: the collar, sleeve cuffs, Nike swoosh and Spotify sponsor logo all pick up the darker tone. Navy shorts and socks are set to complete the kit, framing the cross and letting it command the shirt.

Barcelona’s 26-27 fourth kit is expected to drop in January 2027, accompanied by a matching apparel collection. Another statement piece, another layer of identity stitched into the fabric – and another reminder that in modern football, the shirt rarely stands still.
