The Best Football Shirts 26/27

The season edit.

We're into September now, so the best football shirts of 2026/27 have had a bit more time to breathe.

Launch photos only tell you so much. A shirt can look brilliant folded on a table and strangely flat once eleven players are wearing it. Others need a few matches, a European night or one player making it their own before everything clicks.

This is our current Pro:Direct edit. No rankings and no pretending there is an objective answer. Just the football shirts we keep coming back to now the season is properly moving.

Nike Inter Milan 2026/27 Away Shirt

Still one of the strongest away shirts of the season. White, thin blue pinstripes and that monogram crest give it an almost baseball-shirt feel without losing Inter. A few weeks in, nothing about it feels overworked.

adidas Originals Boca Juniors 2026/27 Away Shirt

The 2006/07 influence is obvious, but it never feels like a remake for the sake of it. White, navy pinstripes, the old crest and Trefoil have settled together nicely. It already looks older than it is, which feels very Boca.

NOCTA Venezia 2026/27 Long-Sleeve Home Shirt

The best thing NOCTA did here was leave enough Venezia in the shirt. Black base, orange and green details, a proper collar and long sleeves. The collaboration is still obvious, but the club finally feels like the main event again.

adidas Bayern Munich 2026/27 Third Shirt

Now that European football is back, this shirt has the setting it was designed for. Four major Bayern moments sit quietly across the dark body, with red detailing doing the rest. One of those shirts that needs floodlights more than a studio.

PUMA Borussia Dortmund 2026/27 Long-Sleeve Home Shirt

Dortmund yellow was never going to struggle for attention. The long sleeves are what make this version. Once the nights draw in and the European games start stacking up, this is exactly how a Dortmund shirt should look.

Nike Corinthians 2026/27 Home Shirt

Still proof that restraint works. Soft white, black Swoosh and one of football's great crests. Nothing needs explaining and nobody added another graphic because there was an empty bit of fabric.

Nike Paris Saint-Germain 2026/27 Home Shirt

The central stripe remains the whole point. PSG shirts have spent years moving it around, shrinking it or reinventing it. Put it back where everyone expects and suddenly the shirt feels right again.

PUMA RB Leipzig 2026/27 Away Shirt

The Botanical Garden story is still there, but you mostly notice colour. Red, yellow and plenty of it. September has done nothing to calm this shirt down, which is probably why it still works.

adidas Originals Manchester United 2026/27 Away Shirt

The royal blue felt unusual at first. It feels much more at home now. Trefoil, red Three Stripes and that red-and-white neckline give it enough old United adidas without turning the whole thing into retro cosplay.

PUMA Valencia 2026/27 Third Shirt

This has grown on us. Two shades of pink, Torino Red and that stretched graphic are a lot to take in, but third shirts have enough freedom to be slightly strange. Valencia used it.

adidas Originals Liverpool 26/27 Goalkeeper Away Long-Sleeve Shirt

Goalkeeper shirts are having a good season. Black, purple, long sleeves and a Trefoil is a strong start, and this still feels more like a proper piece of Liverpool adidas history than a novelty keeper kit.

adidas Originals Real Madrid 26/27 Away Shirt

Deep green has settled beautifully on Madrid. White details and the Trefoil keep it clean, while the colour gives the away shirt an identity completely separate from the home kit. No need for much else.

adidas Originals Arsenal 26/27 Away Shirt

The dark Bruised Banana reference looked good in launch images and still holds up now. Navy lets the yellow geometry and red details do the work, while the Trefoil finishes it without making the shirt feel like a straight remake.

The Best Football Shirts 26/27 So Far

The best football shirts 26/27 has given us are starting to feel less like launches and more like part of the season now. Some looked good from day one. Others needed a few matches, a European night or the right player in them before they really clicked.

That is why this list will keep moving. New football shirts are still landing, more third and goalkeeper kits will get proper minutes, and a few 2026/27 football kits will almost certainly look better in October than they did in July.

For now, these are the shirts we keep coming back to, we keep posting on Instagram, and we keep wearing in the office. If you are looking for the best football kits 26/27 has to offer, this is where we will keep the Pro:Direct edit updated through the season.
