US Catanzaro Unveils Bold Away Kit for 2026-27
US Catanzaro light up Serie B, Oldham go back in time, and Roma tick off a historic numbers first – it has been a busy week in the world of shirts.
Catanzaro’s away kit turns up the volume
US Catanzaro 1929 and EYE Sport have completed the club’s 2026-27 wardrobe with a bold away kit that looks built for the spotlight, not the shadows.
The new shirt is drenched in bright yellow, the kind of tone that jumps off the pitch and straight into the stands. Across the front and back runs an intricate, marble-style swirl in off-white, a restless pattern that gives the jersey constant movement even when the team stands still.
Red cuts sharply through the design. It frames the V-neck collar, wraps the sleeve cuffs and runs down the side trim, tying the look back to the club’s traditional palette. The crest sits on the left chest, flanked by red EYE Sport branding, while a large Coop sponsor dominates the torso.
With this release, Catanzaro’s kit set is now complete: the new away joins the classic red home and the art-inspired third shirt that pays tribute to Mimmo Rotella. The visuals are different, but the message is the same – this is a club leaning into identity and colour in a division often awash with safer choices.
Oldham’s tangerine time machine
Across in England, Oldham Athletic and Puma have gone straight for the heartstrings.
Their 2026-27 third kit is not just a change strip; it is a date on the calendar. August 20, 1966 – the day Oldham first walked out in tangerine. Sixty years on, the club has marked the exact anniversary with a modern echo of that colour.
The new jersey is unapologetically tangerine orange. No gradients, no half-measures. Clean blue and white detailing cuts through the brightness: a buttoned henley collar trimmed in white and blue, matching two-tone ribbed cuffs, and white side panels that sharpen the silhouette.
On the chest, a blue owl crest shares space with a white Puma Cat and white Bunkabin sponsor, keeping the palette tight and deliberate.
Blue shorts and tangerine socks finish the strip, anchoring the nostalgia in a contemporary fit. Under the surface, Puma’s dryCELL technology and RE:FIBRE recycled materials bring modern performance and sustainability to a shirt rooted in memory. It is already on sale through the club’s official channels, ready for supporters who remember that first tangerine outing – and those who only know it from the stories.
Moneni Pirates lean into the skull and crossbones
In Eswatini, Moneni Pirates and Umbro have produced a collection that leaves no doubt about the club’s identity.
Every one of the 2026-27 jerseys carries a large skull graphic low on the torso, an aggressive, unapologetic motif that turns the nickname into a visual threat.
The home shirt is the darkest of the trio: a mix of charcoal and black, with white and subtle red details picking out the lines. The away kit flips the mood, going clean and bright in white with tonal skull artwork that reveals itself on closer inspection rather than shouting from distance.
Then comes the third kit, the loudest of the set – a vivid red base blasted with bold white graphics and black trim. It looks built for big nights and high stakes.
All three shirts carry Umbro branding on the chest, the club’s skull-and-crossbones badge and a central sponsor logo. For Moneni Pirates, the message is simple: the pirate is not a mascot, it is the whole aesthetic.
Roma complete the 1–99 puzzle
While others unveiled new fabrics, AS Roma quietly wrote themselves into football history.
With the arrival of 19-year-old Portuguese attacking midfielder Rodrigo Mora from FC Porto, Roma became the first club to see every squad number from 1 to 99 worn at least once. Mora chose 86 – the final untouched digit in the Giallorossi’s long, eccentric numbering story.
Italian football has always given players more freedom with numbers than stricter leagues such as La Liga. Roma have embraced that freedom for decades, mixing iconic low numbers with eye-catching high ones.
At one end of the scale stand the classics: Francesco Totti’s 10, Daniele De Rossi’s 16, Cafu at 2, Aldair at 6. Edin Džeko’s 9, Mo Salah’s 11, Paulo Dybala’s 21 – numbers that feel as much a part of the players as the shirts themselves.
Then come the modern flourishes. Stephan El Shaarawy’s 92. Romelu Lukaku’s 90. Mile Svilar’s 99. Henrikh Mkhitaryan with 77. A roll call of non-traditional picks that turned the Roma squad list into a grid of personal statements.
The full graphic marking the achievement lays out all 99 shirts, each tied to a player who has worn it in a competitive match. From Wojciech Szczęsny at 1 through to Svilar at 99, with names like Gabriel Batistuta at 33, Alisson Becker at 19, Alessandro Florenzi at 24, Nicolò Zaniolo at 22 and Bryan Zaragoza at 97 scattered across the board, it reads like a time-lapse of Roma’s modern era.
Mora’s 86 was the missing tile. With it, the mosaic is complete – a statistical quirk, yes, but also a snapshot of how shirt numbers have shifted from rigid positions to pieces of personal branding.
Zrinjski Mostar go bold on the road
In Bosnia and Herzegovina, HŠK Zrinjski Mostar and Macron have stepped away from tradition for their new away strip.
Where the home kit stays true to the club’s classic white, the 2026-27 away shirt goes dark and daring. The front and sleeves are covered in a geometric checkerboard of black and red, a pattern that feels more modern art than old-school block.
Look closer and the red squares carry subtle diagonal striping, adding depth and texture. White breaks up the intensity on the V-neck collar, sleeve cuffs and Macron Hero logos, while the club crest sits in its familiar place on the left chest.
Front and centre, the M.T. Abraham Group logo appears in white, with INTERAGENT Mostar taking the lower back. The kit will travel with Zrinjski through domestic league and cup fixtures and into European nights, where its stark contrast to the white home shirt will stand out under floodlights.
Al-Shabab SC unveil a complete Macron set
In Oman, Al-Shabab SC have gone for a full refresh with Macron, revealing new home, away and goalkeeper kits for 2026-27.
The home shirt leans on a deep navy body, a strong base colour that immediately sets the tone. White sleeves break up the darkness, while fine yellow piping tracks along the shoulders, giving the shirt a sharp, tailored edge. A crossover V-neck collar keeps the design clean, and navy shorts with white detailing tie the set together.
The away jersey flips the script. A crisp white torso takes centre stage, paired with dark navy sleeves and the same yellow trim. It is a classic inversion, but the consistent piping keeps the identity intact.
For the goalkeepers, Macron has gone bright. A light blue jersey is covered in an intricate geometric shard pattern across front and sleeves, the kind of design that stands out in crowded penalty areas and on television replays.
Every shirt carries the Macron Hero on the chest, the Al-Shabab crest and sponsor Alraed Investments. One club, three clear looks – and a season ahead in which each will write its own chapter.
