Leaked: Flamengo 26-27 Third Kit — Rowing Crest Twist

TL;DR

• Footy Headlines has shared the first details and a prediction render of the Adidas Flamengo 2026-27 third kit.
• The shirt is built around a red base with white and black accents and a tonal wavy print referencing the club’s rowing roots.
• The standard football crest is swapped for the historic rowing club emblem in white, with the Adidas Trefoil sitting on the right chest.

The Leak

The first details of Flamengo’s 2026-27 Adidas third kit have surfaced via Footy Headlines, paired with an exclusive prediction render that gives a sense of how the design will translate to the final retail shirt.

Rather than another riff on the famous red-and-black hoops, Adidas is going down the heritage route for this alternate strip, leaning into the club’s origin story as a rowing organisation before football took centre stage on the Rio coastline.

Design Breakdown

Colourway. The base of the shirt is red, accented with white and black detailing on the trims and graphics. It is a cleaner, more uniform colour block than the standard hooped home shirt, giving the third kit its own identity within the 26-27 range.

Graphic. The shirt carries a tonal all-over print built around a subtle wavy pattern, with miniature versions of the historic rowing crest scattered across the body. Up close it has plenty going on; from a distance it reads as a single block of red.

Crest. In the headline twist, the regular football badge is replaced by a white version of Flamengo’s historic rowing crest, reinforcing the storytelling angle of the release.

Collar and branding. Renders show a crew-neck collar, although the final shape has not been confirmed. The Adidas Trefoil sits on the right chest, in line with the brand’s strategy of using classic logo work on elite-club alternative shirts.

How It Compares

Flamengo’s 25-26 third kit kept things relatively conventional, sitting close to the club’s primary colour palette without a strong narrative hook. The 26-27 version is a bigger swing: a single dominant colour, an unfamiliar crest in the headline position, and a tonal pattern that rewards a closer look. For collectors who favour Brazilian league third shirts, this is shaping up to be one of the more distinctive releases of the cycle.

When Can You Buy It?

Adidas has not announced a release date, and the design is still in prediction-render form rather than a final sample. A launch in mid-2026, alongside the home and away kits, is the most realistic window. In the meantime, 433fc carries the current Flamengo range, including the Flamengo 2024/25 training jersey and pant set and the 2024/25 Flamengo tracksuit.
