US Catanzaro and Oldham Athletic Unveil New Kits for 2026-27
Italian Serie B side US Catanzaro 1929 have completed their wardrobe for 2026-27, and they’ve done it with a jolt of colour. The new away kit from EYE Sport is a blaze of bright yellow, wrapped in an off‑white, marble‑style swirl that runs across both front and back. It’s loud, busy and impossible to miss.
Red detailing cuts through the design – on the V-neck, the sleeve cuffs and the side trim – tying it back to the club’s traditional palette. The crest sits over the left chest, with EYE Sport’s logo in red opposite and a bold Coop sponsor dominating the torso. With this release, Catanzaro now have the full set for the campaign: the classic red home shirt, the Mimmo Rotella‑inspired third kit, and this striking away option ready for Serie B nights.
Oldham’s tangerine tribute
Across in England, Oldham Athletic and Puma have dipped straight into the club’s history books for their new third kit. The 2026-27 strip lands exactly 60 years to the day since Oldham first stepped out in tangerine on August 20, 1966 – and the anniversary drives everything about the design.
The shirt is drenched in tangerine orange, offset by crisp blue and white detailing that keeps it sharp rather than retro pastiche. A buttoned henley collar framed in white and blue sets the tone, with matching two‑tone ribbed cuffs and white side panels running down the body.
On the chest, the blue owl crest is paired with a white Puma Cat and the white Bunkabin sponsor, all sitting cleanly against the orange. Blue shorts and tangerine socks finish a look that feels both throwback and fresh. Built with Puma’s dryCELL moisture‑management tech and RE:FIBRE recycled materials, the kit is already on sale through the club’s official channels, giving Latics fans a tangible link back to 1966.
Moneni Pirates lean into the skull
In Eswatini, Moneni Pirates have doubled down on identity. Their new 2026-27 collection with Umbro leaves no doubt about who you’re dealing with: every shirt carries a large, aggressive skull graphic across the lower torso.
The home kit is the darkest of the trio – a charcoal and black base with white and subtle red detailing that lets the skull art do the talking. The away flips the script, going almost pure white with tonal skull work for a more minimalist, but still menacing, effect. The third kit goes the other way entirely: a vivid bright red canvas, bold white graphics and black trim to hammer home the pirate theme.
All three jerseys carry Umbro branding on the chest, the skull‑and‑crossbones club badge and a central sponsor logo, creating a consistent, in‑your‑face visual across the range.
Roma’s numbers game: 1 to 99, every shirt worn
While new kits were dropping around the world, AS Roma quietly made football history. With the arrival of 19‑year‑old Portuguese attacking midfielder Rodrigo Mora from FC Porto, and his decision to take number 86, Roma became the first club to have every squad number from 1 through 99 worn at least once.
Italian football’s relaxed approach to numbering has long allowed players to roam far beyond the traditional 1–30 range. Roma have embraced that freedom. The club’s story runs from iconic low numbers – Francesco Totti’s 10, Daniele De Rossi’s 16, Cafu’s 2, Aldair’s 6 – to the high‑number era that brought Stephan El Shaarawy’s 92, Romelu Lukaku’s 90 and Mile Svilar’s 99.
Mora’s 86 was the final gap. With it filled, Roma can now line up a graphic of all 99 shirts, each tied to at least one player who has worn that number in a competitive match. The roll call reads like a collage of eras and styles: Wojciech Szczęsny at 1, Mo Salah at 11, Paulo Dybala at 21, Nicolò Zaniolo at 22, Gabriel Batistuta at 33, Henrikh Mkhitaryan at 77, Lukaku at 90, El Shaarawy at 92, Svilar at 99 – and dozens more, from academy graduates to short‑term loanees.
From 1 (Szczęsny) through 50 (Michele Somma), the list mixes legends with fleeting cameos. Higher up the scale it gets even more eclectic: Edoardo Bove at 52, Ebrima Darboe at 55, Felix Afena‑Gyan at 64, Angeliño at 69, Jacopo Mirra at 76, Urby Emanuelson at 82, Riccardo Pagano at 85, Aleandro Rosi at 87, Seydou Doumbia at 88, Stefano Okaka Chuka at 89, Bryan Zaragoza at 97 and Mathew Ryan at 98.
It’s a quirk of regulation and culture, but also a snapshot of how Roma have evolved – from the Totti‑De Rossi axis to a club where 99 different numbers all carry a story.
Bold checks in Mostar
In Bosnia and Herzegovina, HŠK Zrinjski Mostar and Macron have gone for impact with their new away kit. The 2026-27 shirt breaks sharply from the club’s traditional white home look, opting for a black‑and‑red geometric checkerboard pattern that dominates the front and sleeves.
The red squares are layered with subtle diagonal striping, giving the design extra depth under the floodlights. White trims the V‑neck collar and sleeve cuffs, and also frames the Macron Hero branding. The club crest sits on the left chest, while the M.T. Abraham Group logo stands out in white across the centre, with INTERAGENT Mostar printed on the lower back.
Zrinjski will use the kit in domestic league and cup action and on European nights, where that bold pattern should be instantly recognisable.
Macron’s navy statement for Al-Shabab SC
Macron’s reach extends to the Omani Professional League this season, where Al-Shabab SC have unveiled a full set of home, away and goalkeeper kits for 2026-27.
The home shirt leans into a deep navy blue body, contrasted by white sleeves and fine yellow piping tracing the shoulders. A crossover V-neck collar adds a tailored feel, and navy shorts with white detailing complete a clean, modern primary look.
The away flips the balance: a crisp white torso, dark navy sleeves and the same yellow trim running through the design, keeping the identity consistent while offering a lighter option.
For the goalkeepers, Macron has gone bolder. A vibrant light blue jersey is covered in an intricate geometric shard pattern across the front and sleeves, giving the last line of defence a distinctive visual of their own. Every shirt carries the Macron Hero on the chest, the Al-Shabab crest and sponsor Alraed Investments.
From Rome’s numbers puzzle to tangerine anniversaries and skull‑heavy designs, the 2026-27 season is already writing its story in fabric and ink. The only question now is which of these looks will still be remembered when the trophies are handed out.
