Benfica ‘to revive’ 1997/98 kit in 2027/28, 30 years on | OneFootball

Benfica are expected to release a 2027/28 kit inspired by the club’s 1997/98 alternate shirt, 30 years on, Footy Headlines reports.

The concept is to revive elements of the old design and rework them into a modern template.

The colourway is expected to be predominantly black, with white logos and red detailing on sponsor marks, without laces or a collar. Adidas will again supply the shirt, having updated its logo and recently signed a lucrative deal with the club.

Official specifics for 2027/28 have not been unveiled by Benfica, and the exact graphics and layout remain unconfirmed. The intention, according to the report, is to pay tribute to that 1997/98 strip.

A launch is slated for August next year. The 1997/98 season featured João Vieira Pinto, Karel Poborsky and Nuno Gomes.
