Catanzaro's Marble Away Kit and Roma's Unique Number Milestone
US Catanzaro splash marble yellow, Oldham go tangerine, and Roma tick off 1–99 in a remarkable week for shirts and numbers.
Marble, yellow and Mimmo Rotella: Catanzaro complete their set
US Catanzaro 1929 have signed off their 2026-27 wardrobe with a striking new away kit from EYE Sport.
The shirt is unapologetically bright yellow, the kind that jumps out on a grey Serie B afternoon, with an intricate marble-style abstract swirl in off-white running across both front and back. Red cuts through the design: on the V-neck, the sleeve cuffs, and the side trim, framing the graphic and tying it back to the club’s traditional palette.
The crest sits over the left chest, flanked by red EYE Sport branding and a bold Coop sponsor stamped across the torso.
With this away strip now revealed, Catanzaro’s lineup for the season is complete: the classic red home, the art-inspired third paying homage to Mimmo Rotella, and this vivid marble away giving the club three very different looks for a long campaign.
Oldham’s tangerine time machine
Oldham Athletic and Puma have gone straight for nostalgia with their new 2026-27 third kit, rolling the clock back exactly 60 years.
On 20 August 1966, Oldham first stepped out in tangerine. Six decades to the day, the Latics are back in that colour, this time in a modern Puma cut.
The new third jersey is drenched in tangerine orange, sharpened by clean blue and white detailing. A buttoned henley collar carries white and blue trim, with matching two-tone ribbed cuffs and white side panels that slice through the orange base.
A blue owl crest anchors the chest opposite a white Puma Cat, while Bunkabin’s logo, also in white, runs across the front.
Blue shorts and tangerine socks complete a kit that feels half retro, half fresh drop. Built with Puma dryCELL moisture-wicking fabric and RE:FIBRE recycled materials, it is already on sale through the club’s official outlets.
Moneni Pirates lean into the skull
Moneni Pirates of the Eswatini Premier League have decided there’s no point in subtlety when your nickname is the Pirates.
Their new Umbro collection for 2026-27 leans hard into the identity. Every shirt – home, away, and third – carries a large skull graphic across the lower front, an unapologetic statement piece that dominates the design.
The home kit is dark and menacing: a charcoal and black base, lit only by white and discreet red detailing. The away switches mood completely, going clean and bright with a white base and tonal skull artwork that reveals itself up close rather than from the stands.
Then comes the third kit, the loudest of the three – a vivid bright red with bold white graphics and black trim.
Umbro branding, the skull-and-crossbones badge and the central sponsor logo tie the trio together. Different colours, same message.
Roma complete football’s most obsessive checklist
AS Roma have ticked off a piece of football trivia so niche it almost feels invented: every squad number from 1 to 99 has now been worn in a competitive game.
The final piece of the puzzle? Number 86.
That shirt has gone to 19-year-old Portuguese attacking midfielder Rodrigo Mora, signed from FC Porto, who chose the only unused number left in the Giallorossi range. With that, Roma become the first club to see every single digit from 1 through 99 used at least once.
Italian football’s relaxed approach to numbering made this possible. Where leagues like La Liga clamp down on high and unconventional digits, Serie A has long allowed players to pick numbers that mean something to them – or simply stand out.
Roma have embraced that freedom. The club’s history is littered with iconic low numbers and flamboyant highs: Francesco Totti’s 10 and Daniele De Rossi’s 16 sit alongside Stephan El Shaarawy’s 92, Romelu Lukaku’s 90 and Mile Svilar’s 99.
A graphic produced to mark the milestone lays out all 99 shirts with standout names pinned to each number: Wojciech Szczęsny at 1, Cafu at 2, Aldair at 6, Mo Salah at 11, Paulo Dybala at 21, 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 signings.
Now 86 has a name as well. The grid is full. The question is whether any other club in Europe will ever manage to match that obsessive numerical sweep.
Zrinjski Mostar go bold on the road
HŠK Zrinjski Mostar and Macron have taken a sharp turn away from tradition for their 2026-27 away kit.
Where the home shirt stays faithful to the club’s classic white, the new away jersey is far more aggressive: a black-and-red geometric checkerboard pattern stretches across the front and sleeves, giving the shirt a modern, almost digital feel.
Within the red blocks, subtle diagonal striping adds another layer, so the pattern never sits flat. White details – on the V-neck collar, sleeve cuffs and Macron Hero logos – slice through the darker base and echo the club’s usual home colours.
The crest rests on the left chest, while the M.T. Abraham Group logo dominates the centre in white. INTERAGENT Mostar branding appears on the lower back.
Zrinjski will carry this design into domestic league and cup matches and onto European nights, a clear visual break from their more restrained home look.
Macron paints Al-Shabab in navy, white and electric blue
Al-Shabab SC of the Omani Professional League have unveiled a full Macron set for 2026-27, with distinct identities for home, away and goalkeeper.
The home shirt leans on a deep navy blue body, offset by stark white sleeves and a fine line of yellow piping tracing the shoulders. A crossover V-neck keeps the look sharp, while matching navy shorts with white detailing lock in the primary kit.
The away flips the script: a crisp white torso, dark navy sleeves, and the same yellow trim running through the design to keep the collection coherent.
For the goalkeepers, Macron has gone bolder still. A vibrant light blue jersey is covered in an intricate geometric shard pattern across front and sleeves, turning the keeper’s area into a moving graphic.
All three tops carry the Macron Hero on the chest, the Al-Shabab crest and the Alraed Investments sponsor. Different colours, different roles, one clear visual identity heading into the new season.
