Benfica 26-27 Third Kit Released: Black With Pink Spray

TL;DR

• Adidas released the Benfica 2026/27 third kit on 3 August 2026: a black shirt covered in an asymmetrical pink and red spray-paint graphic.
• The club frames it as a tribute to the lights of the Benfica Campus and to the young players coming through it.
• It carries the traditional full-colour Benfica crest, because 26-27 guidelines rule out the monochrome badges that spread across third kits in recent cycles.

What Benfica released on 3 August

Benfica and Adidas put the 2026/27 third kit out on Monday 3 August 2026. The base is black. Over it sits an asymmetrical graphic in pink and red, applied in a loose spray-paint style, so no two areas of the shirt read the same way. Sagres appears on the lower back in white.

Design breakdown: the campus, the crest, the collar

The stated inspiration is the lights of the Benfica Campus, the club’s training and youth complex at Seixal, and the players it produces. Pink and red streaking across black is a fair reading of floodlights caught at night, and it explains why the graphic is uneven.

The crest is the detail worth pausing on. Benfica wear the traditional full-colour badge here, with the eagle and the club colours intact. That is a consequence of new guidelines applying from 26-27 which prohibit monochromatic crest treatments, the blacked-out and tonal badges that had become a default on third shirts. Anyone who found those hard to read at distance gets a clearer shirt out of the rule change.

Construction is conventional around the graphic. The collar is a traditional crew neck and the sleeve cuffs are black, which stops the spray effect from running off the edges of the shirt. Pricing and fabric specification were not published with the release coverage, so we are not quoting either.

How it compares with the rest of the 26-27 third kit wave

Third shirts this cycle have leaned heavily on graphics tied to a physical thing the club owns. Flamengo put their rowing crest on the shirt in place of the football badge, and Celtic went to a stadium mosaic. Benfica are doing the same kind of thing with a building, which is a harder brief and gives the loosest result of the three.

Against Benfica’s own recent third shirts, this is the most aggressive in colour. Red on black is expected from the club. Pink is the part that will divide opinion.
