Leaked: Aston Villa 26-27 Home Kit — All-Claret Heritage Look

TL;DR

• Adidas’ Aston Villa 2026-27 home shirt drops the blue sleeves and goes back to a full claret body with a 1969-style classic collar.
• The crest and Adidas branding both appear in a pale, washed-out sky blue tone — a softer treatment than recent seasons.
• Renderings are early “fake” mock-ups, but the underlying design specification is reportedly accurate. Expected release: summer 2026.

The Leak

Fresh images of the Aston Villa 26-27 home kit have surfaced, giving supporters their first clean look at the shirt Unai Emery’s side will wear next season. The design is a deliberate nod to the 1969 home jersey, with Adidas trading the sky-blue sleeves used in 2025-26 for a fully claret body.

The images circulating online are early renderings rather than studio shots of the finished product, so small graphic details could still change. Sources close to the leak say the overall direction — colour blocking, collar shape and crest treatment — matches Adidas’ real specification for the shirt.

The original report and additional pictures are on Footy Headlines.

Design Breakdown

Collar. A traditional turn-down collar in classic claret, lifted directly from the late-1960s template. It replaces the modern v-neck Adidas has used during its first two Villa cycles.

Body and sleeves. All claret, with no sky-blue panel splits across the shoulders. The cleaner block colour will photograph much darker than 2025-26’s two-tone look.

Crest. The Villa lion is rendered in a pale, almost dusty sky-blue monochrome rather than the usual full-colour badge. Adidas has used the same washed-out treatment on its three stripes and Trefoil branding, giving the shirt a tonal feel rather than high-contrast pop.

Sponsor. The main shirt sponsor is expected to carry over from the current season in the same chest position. Final partner branding is not visible in the leaked renderings.

How It Compares

This is the biggest visual shift since Adidas took the contract back from Castore. The 2025-26 home shirt leaned modern with prominent blue sleeve blocks, while the new design pulls in the opposite direction — quieter, more heritage-led, and more in line with what Adidas has been doing recently at Arsenal and Manchester United.

It also sits in a different lane from Villa’s claret-and-blue colour-blocked early-2020s kits. The pale-blue crest is closer to a fashion-football treatment than the bold contrast badge supporters are used to, which will divide opinion.

When Can You Buy It?

Expect the official launch around the start of pre-season in late June or early July 2026, in line with Adidas’ usual Premier League roll-out window. Pricing should mirror Villa’s current authentic and replica tiers.

If you do not want to wait, you can still pick up the Aston Villa 2022/23 home jersey or the 2011/12 retro home shirt from our Premier League range while stock lasts.
