Sunderland are preparing for their first European campaign in 53 years, and for the occasion hummel has dipped deep into the club's archives. The 2026/27 Home jersey pays tribute to the shirt worn during Sunderland's 1937 FA Cup triumph. Clean, refined and packed with thoughtful details: the modern club crest has been reworked inside a classic shield, the 1937 badge appears on the back of the neck, the FA Cup final starting XI is printed inside the collar, while an elegant jacquard pattern runs across the fabric, subtly recreating an "S" through the iconic handles of the FA Cup trophy.

Sustainability sits at the heart of Brentford's new Home jersey, created in collaboration with Joma. The club will wear the same shirt not only throughout the 2026/27 season but also during the 2027/28 campaign, reinforcing its commitment to reducing waste. The iconic red and white stripes are accented with honey-yellow details—a nod to the club's nickname, The Bees—while the jersey itself is made from recycled polyester produced from repurposed PET plastic bottles.

By now, the biggest aesthetic trend of this Premier League season is impossible to miss: the revival of iconic kits from the past. Fulham and adidas fully embrace that direction, bringing back the club's red-and-black checkerboard pattern last seen in the 1996/97 season and reworking it with a more fluid, contemporary look. One final touch makes the kit even bolder: it is paired with red shorts and matching red socks, completing one of the season's most striking surprise looks.

Some colours become inseparable from a club's identity, even if they have never been part of its official palette. For Manchester United, that colour is blue, which adidas has chosen as the foundation of the new Away jersey. The standout feature is the tonal vertical stripe running across the front, adding depth without overpowering the design. The club's iconic red isn't forgotten either, combining with white to bring the collar and sleeve cuffs to life.
