5 Football Kits Revealed This Week (19 April 2026)

It has been a remarkable week for kit releases. Reebok made its most significant return to football in nearly three decades, while Nike pulled off something genuinely unprecedented by giving a football club and a rugby club the exact same shirt. From Buenos Aires to Toulouse, here are the five best football kits revealed this week — 13 to 19 April 2026. If you’re shopping for World Cup jerseys ahead of the summer, this was a very good week to be a kit fan.

Key Takeaways

• Reebok returned to World Cup kit production for the first time since 1998 with Panama’s three-kit collection.
• Nike created a world-first by releasing an identical design for both Toulouse FC and Stade Toulousain.
• Racing Club, Santos, and São Paulo all dropped notable new shirts with strong identity storytelling.
• New Balance extended their São Paulo deal through 2032 — a sign of growing South American kit market investment.

1. Panama 2026 World Cup Kits — Reebok (Home, Away & Third)

   This is the biggest kit story of the week. Reebok’s Panama collection marks the brand’s first World Cup kit since France 1998 — a 28-year gap that makes this release genuinely historic for the sportswear industry. (Footy Headlines, Sport Bible, 2026)

   The home shirt leads with a bold red base and an eagle fabric texture woven across the chest — a nod to Panama’s national symbol. A polo collar and white side panels give it a classic feel. The away kit flips to white, with feather-textured sleeves and gold piping. The third shirt goes deep navy with gold Reebok branding — understated and sharp.

2. Toulouse FC + Stade Toulousain “CAPITOLIUM” — Nike

   The CAPITOLIUM kit is a genuine world-first: Nike has released an identical design for both a professional football club and a professional rugby club competing in the same city. Nothing like this has been done before in top-level European sport. (Footy Headlines, Toulouse FC official, 2026)

   The shirt uses a cream and anthracite base, with marbled reflections rippling across the fabric — a direct visual reference to the Capitole de Toulouse. It sits alongside other thoughtful special collaboration kits that use cultural storytelling rather than gimmickry.

3. Racing Club 2026 Home Kit — Nike

   Racing Club’s switch from Kappa to Nike is the off-pitch story here, but the shirt itself more than justifies the attention. (Footy Headlines, 2026)

   Sky blue and white vertical stripes form the foundation — Racing’s most recognisable visual identity, kept intact. The “EL PR1MER GRANDE” inscription references Racing’s 1967 Intercontinental Cup victory — the first by an Argentine club.

4. Santos FC 2026 Away Kit — Umbro

   Santos have delivered one of the most considered away kits in their recent history. (Footy Headlines, 2026)

   Black and white vertical stripes anchor the look, with a black polo collar trimmed in thin gold. The gold patch reads “Levando Brasilidade aos quatro cantos do mundo” and Vila Belmiro coordinates appear on the nape — grounding the shirt in a specific place and time.

5. São Paulo FC 2026-27 Away Kit — New Balance

   São Paulo’s new away shirt arrives alongside news that New Balance have extended their kit deal through 2032. (Footy Headlines, 2026)

   Black and red vertical stripes run the length of the shirt, separated by thin white lines. The “Tricolor Since Forever” nape seal is a thoughtful touch — São Paulo appear to be building something consistent rather than chasing the release cycle.

• Al-Nassr’s leaked third kit — images circulated online showing a bold colourway for the Saudi Pro League club’s 2026-27 third option.
• Juventus’s away kit leak — early images of Juventus’s next away shirt have emerged, showing a notable design shift.
