The July–August wave of 2026‑27 kit releases continued across Europe. Late July saw additional leaks and official launches. Manchester United’s third kit was exposed online, showing an off‑white shirt with dark maroon trim, a subtle Lancashire Rose pattern and a simplified Snapdragon sponsor logo, slated for a later release. In Italy, SS Arezzo debuted an all‑black third kit by Rever featuring tonal damask detailing and maroon accents. Czech club FK Jablonec introduced a deep bottle‑green home shirt and a black goalkeeper jersey, the first products of a new partnership with Macron after ending its tie with Capelli. FC Barcelona unveiled its away kit as part of a Nike‑Barça‑Kobe Bryant collaboration, marked by a custom “Gold Mamba” font but attracting criticism for a reported typo on the goalkeeper’s name. Spain’s Cádiz CF switched from Macron to Kappa for its navy‑blue away kit, which includes a light‑blue crew‑neck collar and a sketch‑style city‑scape graphic. Wales’s Wrexham AFC kept its Macron link for its 2026‑27 home kit, a red shirt with white raglan‑style panels, an embossed geometric pattern and a new Firefox sponsorship.
