Leaked: Stuttgart 26-27 Third Kit — Gold Brustring

TL;DR

• Stuttgart’s 2026-27 third kit is gold with a black Brustring, made by JAKO, with LBBW as main sponsor.
• It was shown by club CEO Alexander Wehrle at a CSD pride event and published on Stuttgart’s own Instagram — a soft reveal rather than an accident.
• A club teaser on 28 July 2026 confirmed the gold shirt and a black-and-gold goalkeeper kit. No price or release date yet.

The Leak

VfB Stuttgart’s 2026-27 third kit is gold, and the club appears to have shown it off ahead of any formal launch. Footy Headlines reports that chief executive Alexander Wehrle was pictured wearing the unreleased shirt at Stuttgart’s CSD pride celebration, with the images then going out on the club’s own Instagram channel. That combination — a senior executive in an unannounced kit, published on official channels — reads far more like a deliberate soft reveal than a slip.

The report has since been updated: Stuttgart pushed out a teaser on Wednesday 28 July 2026 that confirms both the gold shirt and a black-and-gold goalkeeper option. So this one has moved from rumour to near-certainty in the space of two days. In our experience covering kit leaks, most sit in limbo for weeks before a club acknowledges them at all.

Design Breakdown of the Stuttgart 26-27 Third Kit

Colour. A striking gold base. Against Stuttgart’s usual white-and-red palette it is a genuine departure.

The Brustring. The club’s signature chest band survives in black. That matters more than it sounds: the Brustring is Stuttgart’s single most recognisable design element, and third kits are exactly where clubs are most tempted to drop heritage details in favour of a blank canvas. Keeping it, in black on gold, is the decision that stops this looking like a generic gold training top.

Texture. A subtle textured pattern runs across the base. The reporting does not specify whether it is woven, embossed or printed, so we are not going to guess.

Branding and sponsor. JAKO branding appears in black, with LBBW as main sponsor. Collar accents are dark. Shorts, socks and pricing have not been detailed in the leak, and Stuttgart’s teaser did not confirm them either.

How the Stuttgart 26-27 Third Kit Compares

The Brustring is the constant across the range — it anchors the 2026-27 home shirt, and it survives here too. What changes is the job it does. On gold, that hard black line reads as contrast rather than tradition, which makes the third the more graphic of the two.

Gold is also a confident choice for a club that has had two spells in the second tier this decade. For how it stacks up against the rest of the division, see our ranking of the best Bundesliga 2026-27 kits.

When Can You Buy the Stuttgart Third Kit?

JAKO and the club have not given a retail date or a price. Given that the teaser landed on 28 July 2026 and the Bundesliga season opens in August, an official launch within a few weeks is the reasonable expectation rather than a confirmed fact.

FAQ

Is this really the Stuttgart 26-27 third kit?

It is not officially launched, but the evidence is unusually strong. The shirt was worn in public by Stuttgart’s chief executive and the pictures appeared on the club’s own Instagram, and the club has since released a teaser confirming the gold design.

When does the Stuttgart 26-27 third kit release?

No date has been announced. The teaser went out on 28 July 2026, so a launch before or shortly after the season starts is likely, though unconfirmed.
