Leaked: Union Berlin 26-27 Away Kit — Adidas Trefoil

TL;DR

• Union Berlin’s leaked 2026-27 Adidas away kit is dark charcoal grey with tonal vertical pinstripes and bright red trim.
• It is the first Union Berlin shirt to carry the Adidas Trefoil, part of a wider vintage-branding push across 2026-27 away kits.
• Raisin appears as front sponsor in white; the leaked goalkeeper shirt is light blue. No release date or price announced.

The Leak

Images of the 1. FC Union Berlin 2026-27 away kit have surfaced online, credited to the leaker @Bundesleaker and reported by Footy Headlines on 27 July 2026. Adidas made the shirt, and the headline detail is the badge on the chest: this is the first Union Berlin kit to carry the Trefoil rather than the standard three-stripe performance logo.

That is not a one-club decision. Adidas is running the Trefoil across a set of away shirts for 2026-27 as part of a deliberately vintage-leaning approach, so Union are one of several clubs getting the retro treatment on their second strip. Footy Headlines has since published a second piece on the same shirt framing the design around Berlin’s street-football culture. The two reports agree on every physical detail — grey base, tonal pinstripes, red trim, white branding — and differ only in how they read the intent.

Design Breakdown of the Union Berlin 26-27 Away Kit

Colour. A dark charcoal-anthracite grey base, described in the follow-up report simply as dark grey. Either way it is a proper deep grey rather than a washed-out marl.

Pinstripes. Subtle tonal vertical pinstripes run down the shirt. Tonal is the operative word — this is texture you notice at close range and lose entirely on a television wide shot.

Crest and branding. The Union Berlin crest appears in monochrome white, alongside a white Adidas Trefoil. Monochrome crests can flatten a badge as distinctive as Union’s, but against dark grey the contrast does the work.

Sponsor. Raisin appears as front sponsor, in white.

Red accents. Bright red lines the collar, the cuffs and all three shoulder stripes. Red is Union’s colour, and on a grey shirt it is the only thing keeping the kit tied to the club rather than to the season’s generic dark-away trend.

Goalkeeper shirt. Leaked alongside it: a bright light blue base with darker blue ribbed collar and trim. Clean, and much louder than the outfield kit.

How the Union Berlin 26-27 Away Kit Compares

The 2026-27 home shirt, which we covered when it leaked, went the other way entirely — bold, and built around embossed stadium detailing. Set against it, the away kit is the restrained half of the pair: dark, quiet, carried by a logo choice rather than by a graphic.

The Trefoil is the real story. Union have never had it on a shirt before, and for a club whose appeal rests heavily on feeling older and less corporate than its Bundesliga neighbours, a heritage logo is a better fit than most of Adidas’s recent branding experiments. Whether it carries beyond one season is an open question.

When Can You Buy the Union Berlin Away Kit?

Neither Adidas nor the club has announced a release date or a price. The shirt is still an unofficial leak, so anything specific on timing would be a guess. Union’s home kit is already out; the away has no confirmed date.

We will stock the away shirt once it launches. For now, browse the full Union Berlin jersey range, including the 2025/26 home jersey.
