Leaked: AC Milan 26-27 Home Kit — Wide Rossonero Stripes Return

TL;DR

• Puma’s AC Milan 26-27 home shirt brings back wide red and black vertical stripes for the first time in three seasons.
• The collar and cuffs run in solid black with a single red strip threaded through the middle.
• Both the Puma cat and the shirt sponsor sit in white for maximum contrast against the stripes; retail rollout is set for summer 2026.

The Leak

Pictures of Milan’s 26-27 home shirt have made their way online, with @esvaphane credited as the source on both the studio imagery and a set of in-store photographs. Footy Headlines published the full set on 18 May.

After several seasons of experimenting — narrow piping, half-stripe panels, off-centre branding — Puma has reset Milan’s home jersey to one of the most recognisable looks in Italian football: thick rossonero bars from shoulder to hem. The article points to the 1998-99 Adidas Milan kit as the closest historical reference for the proportion of the stripes.

Design Breakdown

Stripes. The body carries broad red and black verticals running the full length of the torso. The bars are noticeably wider than the thin pinstriping seen in the 23-24 and 24-25 shirts, giving the front a heavier, more classical rhythm.

Collar and cuffs. The collar is solid black with a single red line running through the centre, and that same detail repeats on the sleeve cuffs. It is a small move, but it ties the trim together without breaking up the striped body.

Branding. Both the Puma logo and the chest sponsor are rendered in white, which pops cleanly against the dark base and avoids the visual mush that happens when sponsors land on top of red or black stripes.

Crest. The Milan badge sits in its standard club colours, anchoring the design exactly where you’d expect it.

How It Compares

Since taking over the Milan account in 2018, Puma has only delivered three traditionally striped home shirts (2018-19, 2019-20 and 2022-23). The 23-24 and 24-25 jerseys leaned on graphic experiments, and the 25-26 shirt smoothed those out but still avoided full-width stripes.

The 26-27 design is the cleanest “return to type” Milan has had under Puma. For fans who felt the recent attempts had drifted too far from the rossonero brief, this is a much more orthodox answer.

When Can You Buy It?

Retail availability is lined up for summer 2026, with the Footy Headlines report noting that early stock has already been spotted in physical shops. In the meantime, our AC Milan 2003-04 retro home jersey covers the heavy-stripe heritage look, and the 2017-18 home retro sits in the more recent template.
