The 2026/27 AC Milan home kit restores the thick red and black stripes â bold, wide, and unmistakable â running across the full body of the jersey, both front and back, completed by the return of white shorts and black socks. A look that has always stood for itself.
The stripes are the defining mark of AC Milan. Every detail reinforces that identity. The inscription From Milan to the World pays tribute to the millions of fans worldwide, capable of making the Club feel at home on every continent. On the back neck, a wax seal enshrines the Rossoneri crest: the essence of AC Milan, imprinted on every shirt as its authentic signature, a timeless passage handed down from parent to child.
At its core, the 2025-26 Arsenal shirt stays true to the club’s unmistakable identity, combining a rich red body with crisp white sleeves to deliver an instantly recognizable silhouette. The design features subtle visual references to the Emirates, including a bespoke crewneck collar inspired by the sweeping rooflines and subtle red patterning across the body, which adds depth and texture.
