Revealed: Botafogo 26-27 Fourth Kit, Pink October Sakura

TL;DR

• Botafogo have revealed a 26-27 fourth kit made by Mizuno for Pink October (Outubro Rosa), built around pink and off-white vertical stripes inspired by the sakura.
• It has the “Hora Delas” project logo on the front, comes in standard and cropped cuts, and is set to debut with the women’s team against Fluminense in the Campeonato Carioca Feminino.
• 433FC does not stock this fourth kit, but we do sell other Botafogo shirts. No price or retail date has been reported.

The Reveal

Botafogo have presented a special fourth kit for the 26-27 season, and it has nothing to do with a normal colour rotation. According to Footy Headlines, which reported the release on 20 October 2026, the shirt is dedicated to Pink October (Outubro Rosa) and to World Breast Cancer Awareness Day.

The kit sits inside a campaign called “Eu Sou do Preto, Branco e Rosa”, which translates roughly as “I am black, white and pink”. The stated aim is to encourage care, prevention and awareness of breast cancer.

The hero image is a club photo showing three men’s players in the kit with black shorts. A Mizuno logo sits on the right chest, and cherry blossom branches fill the background, which sets the tone for the design story below.

Unlike a leak, this is a finished release from the club, so the details here describe the kit as it was shown. Mizuno, the Japanese brand, supplies Botafogo, and our Mizuno football kits evaluation looks at how the maker approaches its shirts more broadly.

The sakura idea

The concept comes from the sakura, the Japanese cherry blossom. It is a well-known symbol of Japan and also of Mizuno, so the theme links the maker’s heritage with the colour of the awareness campaign. Pink is the natural bridge between the two.

Stripes, trim and details

Botafogo are known for black and white vertical stripes. Here the idea is kept but softened: the body uses soft pink and off-white bands, so the stripe pattern stays familiar while the palette changes completely.

The collar is a black V-neck with pink trim, and the cuffs are black. The “Hora Delas” project logo is printed on the front, and the lone star crest sits on the left chest. Below the back collar there is a small sakura kanji.

The rest of the outfit is simple: black shorts and pink socks. The shirt is made in both a standard cut and a cropped cut, which widens who it is designed for.

How It Compares

This one stands out because the pink is not a small accent. It replaces the black in the stripes, which is a bolder move than a pink badge or sleeve patch. Fans who follow Brazilian football will find plenty of context in our best Brasileirao 26-27 kits ranked guide, and the Serie A 2026-27 shirt sponsors overview shows how crowded the front of shirts usually is.

That makes the “Hora Delas” chest logo notable. It is the only front-of-shirt marking reported for this fourth kit, and the design stays clean as a result.

If you like fourth kits with a story, the PSG 26-27 fourth kit is another one worth a look.
