Juventus have unveiled their new third kit for the 2026-27 season, with the predominantly black and gold design featuring flame-inspired detailing across the front of the shirt.
The kit is the latest release from Juventus’ long-running partnership with Adidas, which began in the 2015-16 season and is currently scheduled to continue until the 2036-37 campaign.
A black base forms the foundation of the shirt, while the Juventus crest, Adidas logo, three shoulder stripes and sponsorship branding are all finished in gold. Tonal flame graphics appear towards the lower section of the jersey, giving the design a distinctive visual identity.
“Juventus and adidas today unveil the new third jersey for the 2026/27 season, a bold design inspired by the essence of Juve itself,” read a statement on the club website.
“Taking its cue from the Club’s Latin name, iuventus, meaning “youth”, the jersey channels the energy of a young spirit, blending elite performance innovation with a powerful expression of football culture and contemporary style.
“Inspired by the concept of “We Are Youth. Since 1897”, the jersey references the meaning behind Juve’s Latin name, iuventus (“youth”). The design combines a black base with tonal flame graphics, drawing on Y2K-inspired visual cues to create a bold and contemporary look. Integrated into the engineered fabric, the graphic adds texture and movement while reinforcing the disruptive character of the third kit.
“The adidas three stripes on the shoulders, adidas logo and Juventus crest are executed in gold, delivering a sharp contrast against the black base. A clean crew-neck collar completes the contemporary look, reinforcing the jersey’s bold yet refined character.
“Designed for elite performance, the jersey features lightweight engineered fabric construction that enhances fit and freedom of movement. Incorporating adidas’ latest CLIMACOOL+ materials, the jersey works to wick moisture efficiently, helping keep players cool under pressure while optimising breathability throughout high-intensity play.
“The 2026/27 third kit is completed with black shorts and socks featuring coordinated gold detailing and tonal flame-inspired graphics, creating a distinctive and unified on-pitch look.”
