Nottingham Forest 26-27 Away Kit: Adidas Goes Deep Green

TL;DR

• Nottingham Forest’s 2026-27 away kit is out: a dark forest-green shirt from Adidas, trimmed in bright red.
• It carries an all-over tonal print, red Three Stripes on the shoulders, and a white crest with the club’s two stars.
• Footy Headlines lists 14 August 2026 as the release date.

What Have Forest and Adidas Released?

Forest have gone green for their second strip of the 2026-27 campaign. The jersey uses a deep, almost bottle-green base, and every trim detail is picked out in a bright, saturated red.

It is a literal reading of the badge and the nickname — Footy Headlines frames the dark green as an expression of the club’s heritage and the Forest moniker — and Adidas have leaned into it. The images published alongside the release show the strip styled off the pitch, worn loose with wide trousers rather than shorts, which tells you which part of the market this one is aimed at.

Details and imagery were published by Footy Headlines on 8 August 2026, which gives 14 August as the on-sale date.

Design Breakdown

Colour. Dark forest green across the body and sleeves, with bright red doing all the accent work and black listed as a third colour. There is no sash, panel or hoop, so the jersey reads as a single tone from distance.

Collar and cuffs. A round neck finished with thin red piping, repeated at the sleeve cuffs.

Sleeves. The Three Stripes appear in bright red and sit high on the shoulder rather than running the full length of the sleeve.

Graphic. An all-over print sits across the body in a tone barely separated from the base green. Footy Headlines describes it as adding a subtle, premium texture, and in the product shots it registers as exactly that — texture rather than pattern.

Crest and branding. The club crest and the two stars above it appear in white, alongside a white Adidas mark. Notably, the released images show the Trefoil rather than the performance badge. No shirt sponsor is identified in the published imagery.

How Does It Compare to the 26-27 Home Kit?

The two shirts are built to the same recipe in opposite colours. When we covered the 2026-27 home kit in July, it paired a traditional red base with a tonal pattern, a red collar and a white crest carrying the two stars. Swap the base to dark green and you have this away shirt: same tonal-print approach, same white crest treatment, opposite end of the palette.

The Trefoil branding is the detail that dates this one, and if you want the era it gestures at rather than the reference to it, the 1977/78 Forest away jersey is in the retro range.

When Can You Buy It?

Footy Headlines gives 14 August 2026 as the release date. Announced dates occasionally shift by a day or two, so treat it as the expected window rather than a guarantee.

In the meantime, the Nottingham Forest 2025/26 away jersey is in stock at $37.99, and the full range sits in the Nottingham Forest collection alongside home, third, retro and kids’ kits.
