Leaked: Cruzeiro 2026-27 Away Kit — White, Blue and a 1966 Tribute

Cruzeiro 2023/24 Purple Kids Kit

TL;DR

  • Cruzeiro’s 2026-27 Adidas away kit has leaked: a white base with blue trim and an embossed map of Brazil on the chest.
  • The shirt nods to the 60th anniversary of Cruzeiro’s 1966 Taça Brasil triumph, with a discreet “1966” detail at the nape.
  • Release is pencilled in for 29 May 2026.

The Leak

Footy Headlines has shared first images of Cruzeiro’s 2026-27 away shirt by Adidas. The Belo Horizonte side switches from royal blue to a clean white base for travel duty, with classic blue accents on the Adidas Trefoil, the club crest and the famous three stripes on the shoulders.

The release is being framed as an anniversary kit. Cruzeiro’s 1966 Taça Brasil victory turns 60 next season, and the new shirt carries that story through subtle graphic detail rather than loud retro cues. The launch campaign is reportedly fronted by Dirceu Lopes, one of the icons of that 1966 squad, alongside the line “Giant in the present and in the past.”

Original photos and campaign details are on Footy Headlines.

Design Breakdown

Base and accents. The shirt is a clean white, broken up only by blue Adidas branding, a blue club crest and blue shoulder stripes. There is no busy print across the body, which keeps the focus on the fabric and silhouette.

Embossed Brazil. A silhouette of Brazil is embossed on the chest. The detail is tonal — visible up close but not loud from distance — in line with Adidas’s recent embossed-graphic approach across South American kits.

1966 nape detail. A small “1966” mark sits at the back of the neck, marking the anniversary without forcing it into the main design.

Sponsor and trims. Sponsor positioning is not yet visible in the leaked images; collar and cuff finishes look minimal, consistent with the rest of Adidas’s 26-27 club templates.

How It Compares

Cruzeiro’s previous away kits have leaned heavily on white-and-blue combinations, but this one is more restrained than recent seasons, with less graphic pattern across the chest. It sits closer in mood to Adidas’s heritage releases than to the bolder graphic third kits we have seen this cycle.

The anniversary angle also lines it up with other 2026-27 commemorative kits we have covered, including the AS Roma 2027 centenary kit and the Chivas 120th anniversary shirt.

When Can You Buy It?

The reported launch date is 29 May 2026. Expect availability through Cruzeiro’s official channels first, with global stock following shortly after through Adidas and major retailers.
