Best Championship 26-27 Kits Ranked: Top 10

The best Championship kits of 2026-27 lean on local history: a Spitfire pattern at Stoke, a stadium barrier at Wrexham, a pub ceiling at West Ham. Our pick is the Wolves 150th-anniversary home shirt, with the city coat of arms on the chest. We stock all ten below as replica supporter shirts, and each entry links to the shirt and the club’s range.

How did we rank the Championship’s 2026-27 kits?

We looked at how clear the idea is and whether it could only belong to that club. This list is our opinion, and we only ranked shirts we have in stock, so a few good designs are missing. Design details come from each club’s launch, as reported by Footy Headlines. We are an independent retailer of replica supporter shirts, not affiliated with any club, league or manufacturer.

1. Wolves home (Sudu)

Supporters voted for this orange-gold, a colour Wolves wore through the 1970s, 80s and early 90s. The Wolverhampton coat of arms replaces the regular crest, back on the shirt for the first time in more than 30 years, and graphics from the arms are woven into the fabric. A WW150 mark sits on the back of the neck. Relegation means the anniversary shirt debuts in the Championship. See the Wolves 2026/27 home jersey or the full Wolves range.

2. Stoke City away (Macron)

Green and sand camouflage covers the whole shirt, taken from early Spitfire paintwork. Reginald Mitchell, who designed the aircraft, was born in Stoke-on-Trent, and the blue and red cuffs copy the roundels on early models. Try the Stoke City 2026/27 away jersey, the Stoke City category, or our piece on the home kit and new crest.

3. Wrexham home (Macron)

Traditional red, with an embossed pattern that copies the safety barriers from the old Kop at the Racecourse Ground. On the back of the collar, six printed flags spell CAE RAS, the Welsh name for the ground, above the club’s founding year, 1864. Here is the Wrexham 2026/27 home jersey and the wider Wrexham range.

4. West Ham away (New Balance)

New Balance’s first West Ham away shirt is white with claret and blue piping, and the crossed hammers stand alone on the chest in place of the full badge. The woven texture comes from the ornate ceiling of the Boleyn Tavern, the East End pub. Shop the West Ham 2026/27 away jersey or all West Ham shirts.

5. Millwall away (Erreà)

Closely based on the club’s 1997-98 away shirt. It is mostly white, a large leaping lion runs through the front as a tonal texture, and a retro gold lion stands in for the crest. Find it as the Millwall 2026/27 away jersey, or browse the Millwall category.

6. Southampton third (Puma)

Ivory with red trim, a historic city crest, and a faint print drawn from the Bargate, the medieval gateway in the city centre. See the Southampton 2026/27 third jersey and the Southampton range.

7. Blackburn Rovers home (Umbro)

Umbro is back in place of Macron with blue and white halves, a white polo collar, and red for the logo, sponsor and piping. The club ties the design to the town’s Imperial Mill, and its motto, “By Skill and Hard Work”, appears on the shirt. Take a look at the Blackburn Rovers 2026/27 home jersey or the Blackburn category.

8. Derby County away (Puma)

Pink returns as Derby’s change colour for the first time since 2020-21. The print comes from the roof stanchions at Pride Park, ahead of the club’s 30th season there, and the ground’s coordinates sit on the back of the neck. It is listed as the Derby County 2026/27 away jersey, with more in the Derby County range.

9. Sheffield United third (Adidas)

Adidas replaced Erreà this season, and its third shirt is neon yellow-green with black raglan sleeves. The crest is cut down to just the crossed blades, in black. It has less of a story than the shirts above, which is why it sits ninth. Get the Sheffield United 2026/27 third jersey or see the Sheffield United range.

10. Birmingham City away (Nike)

Vivid yellow with royal blue on the collar, side panels, Swoosh and sponsor, in the colours of the Birmingham civic flag. Our listing is the Birmingham City 2026/27 away jersey, next to the rest of the Birmingham range.

Which shirts just missed the top ten?

Three came close. The Watford home brings back the red and black chest stripe of the 1985-88 kit. The Portsmouth home marks 100 years since Portsmouth became a city, with gold logos on blue. The West Brom away prints a map of the Black Country on red.

Which Championship clubs changed kit maker for 2026-27?

West Ham moved from Umbro to New Balance, Sheffield United from Erreà to Adidas, Blackburn from Macron to Umbro, and Cardiff from New Balance to Castore. West Ham, Wolves and Burnley arrived from the Premier League, while Lincoln City, Cardiff and Bolton came up from League One. For the top flight, see our Premier League 26-27 kits ranking.

Frequently asked questions

What is the best Championship kit of 2026-27?

In our ranking it is the Wolves home shirt by Sudu. It marks the club’s 150th anniversary with a fan-voted orange-gold and the Wolverhampton coat of arms on the chest. Stoke City’s Spitfire away shirt and Wrexham’s home shirt come next.

Why does Stoke City’s away shirt have a camouflage pattern?

The pattern comes from the early camouflage paintwork of the Supermarine Spitfire. Its designer, Reginald Mitchell, was born in Stoke-on-Trent. The blue and red cuffs refer to the roundels on early models of the aircraft.

Why is there no normal crest on the Wolves or Millwall shirts?

Both swap it for a piece of club history. Wolves use the Wolverhampton coat of arms for the 150th anniversary, and Millwall’s away shirt uses a retro gold leaping lion, taken from its 1997-98 away design.
