Anderlecht 2026/27 Third Kit Revealed: adidas Return in Black

• Anderlecht launched a black 2026/27 third kit on 18 September 2026.
• It is part of the club’s first full season back with adidas after the Joma deal ended.
• Silver branding, purple piping and a tonal grid pattern define the design; Sunweb is the sponsor.

What Has Anderlecht Revealed?

Anderlecht have released their third kit for 2026/27, and the headline is the brand on the chest. adidas are back at the Brussels club, replacing Joma, and this season is the first complete campaign of the renewed partnership. The third shirt completes the set after the home and away launches.

The release was reported by Footy Headlines on 18 September. Unlike many black third kits that rely on loud graphics, Anderlecht have gone for a restrained, almost formal look that uses the club’s purple only as an accent.

Collar and cuffs. A simple crew neck, edged in purple piping. The same piping runs around the sleeve cuffs, so purple frames the shirt without dominating it.

Crest and sponsor. The adidas logo and the Anderlecht crest are both rendered in monochrome silver and aligned centrally on the chest, a layout adidas has used on several recent club shirts. Sunweb sits below as front-of-shirt sponsor.

Colourway and pattern. The base is black, with a subtle tonal grid graphic across the front body that only shows up in the light. Shorts are black with silver Three Stripes, keeping the whole kit in the same tonal family.

Name and number. The players’ names and numbers on the back are printed in custom silver, with the RSCA crest built into each numeral, a detail aimed squarely at fans who personalise their shirts.

How Does It Compare?

The biggest change from recent seasons is the manufacturer. Joma’s Anderlecht shirts carried their own templates and trims; the new adidas range brings back the Three Stripes and a cleaner, more minimal aesthetic. Against the traditional purple home shirt, the black third is a clear change of mood, closer to a matchday training top than a heritage piece.

It also fits a wider trend: black thirds with metallic branding have been one of the dominant looks of 2026/27, as our ranking of this season’s third kits shows.

For supporters, the practical appeal is versatility. A black shirt with silver detailing works away from the stadium as easily as in the stands, and the purple piping keeps it recognisably Anderlecht without the full purple of the home kit. Expect it to be worn in European and cup fixtures where the home and away colours clash with the opposition.

There is also a timing angle. Launching the third shirt in mid-September gives adidas a full autumn of fixtures to showcase it, and a restrained black design tends to sell steadily all season rather than peaking at launch. For collectors tracking the Joma-to-adidas switch, this is the piece that completes the first adidas set in years.
