Leaked: Nike 27-28 Kit Template — New Fenom Cut for Thirds

TL;DR

• Nike will reportedly keep its current 2026 template for 2027-28 home and away shirts, so no full redesign next season.
• Third kits are the exception: they are expected to move to a new template called Fenom, first built for the 2027 Women’s World Cup.
• An all-new Nike template is expected in 2028-29, timed for Euro 2028.

The Leak

Footy Headlines reported on 28 September 2026 that Nike’s plans for the 2027-28 club season don’t include a fresh cut for home and away shirts. The template introduced at the 2026 World Cup will carry on for those releases.

The change comes with the third kits. According to the report, they will use Fenom, a template Nike originally engineered for national teams at the 2027 FIFA Women’s World Cup. Leaked France and Australia kits for that tournament give an early look at it. Nike has used this route before: a template designed for a women’s tournament later reached club thirds for Barcelona, PSG and Chelsea in 2023-24.

Looking further ahead, the outlet expects a completely new template in 2028-29, in step with Euro 2028.

The 2026 template (home and away, 2027-28). This is the shape fans have worn since the World Cup. It has had one recurring complaint, nicknamed “shoulder gate”: an awkward cut across the shoulders that can make the shirt sit oddly. Footy Headlines notes that steaming the shirt reportedly helps. Keeping the template means that fit stays for another season, so if it bothered you in 2026/27, don’t expect Nike’s 27-28 home shirts to fix it.

Fenom (thirds, 2027-28). The new template is described as having revised ergonomic panel lines, different collar constructions and targeted knit ventilation zones, combined with Nike’s Aero-FIT fabric. In practice, that should give 27-28 third shirts a visibly different silhouette from the same club’s home and away, which suits kits meant to stand apart anyway.

How It Compares

A two-year run for a template is normal for the big kit makers. Designers change colour, graphics and trims each season, while the pattern pieces underneath stay put. What stands out here is the split: one cut for home and away, another for thirds. For Nike clubs such as Barcelona, PSG, Liverpool, Chelsea, Tottenham, Atlético Madrid and Inter, that means the third kit will be the only 27-28 shirt with a truly new shape.

It also helps make sense of the 27-28 leaks so far. The early home and away designs for clubs like PSG and Barcelona are changes of colour and graphic on a familiar base, which fits a retained template.

FAQ

Is Nike really keeping the same template for 2027-28?

That is what Footy Headlines reported on 28 September 2026 for home and away shirts. Nike has not announced its 27-28 plans, so treat it as a strong leak rather than confirmed.

When will the new Nike Fenom template appear?

It is expected at the 2027 Women’s World Cup first, then on club third kits for 2027-28, which usually launch in the second half of summer 2027.

Where can I buy Nike club jerseys?
