Athletico-PR and Umbro unveil new 2026 kit with a fan-inspired touch | OneFootball

The Athletico-PR, in collaboration with Umbro, unveiled this Thursday the new home jersey that will outfit the club for the 2026 season. The uniform was designed to celebrate the red-and-black identity and the deep emotional connection between the team and its passionate fans. The philosophy behind the project is that the jersey is not just a piece of clothing, but a feeling.

The 2026 jersey draws inspiration from the uniform used between 2017 and 2018, a model often cited by fans as one of the most beautiful in Athletico Paranaense's history. The design revives the characteristic balance of the red-and-black colors, reinforcing the club's visual identity. Additionally, the new uniform pays special tribute to the 2018 Copa Sudamericana title, Furacão's first international victory. Subtle details on the inside of the collar recall memorable moments from that campaign, including the exact time of the decisive penalty.

A notable difference in the creation of the 2026 jersey was the active participation of the fans. In a pioneering initiative carried out in 2025, both the club and Umbro opened a channel to receive suggestions and incorporate them directly into the uniform's development. Fernando Volpato, Athletico Paranaense's operations director, highlighted the importance of this collaboration: “For the first time, fans were able to participate in the creation of Athletico Paranaense's number 1 jersey. The club and Umbro listened to the fans' suggestions and implemented them in this uniform. The layout revives the balance of the red-and-black colors, in a movement initiated with last season's jersey, and honors one of the most important achievements in Furacão's history.”
