Possible Corinthians third kit for 2026/27 leaks on social media | OneFootball

A possible third Corinthians jersey for the 2026/27 season has already had an image shared on social media. The model, still not officially confirmed by the club, is reportedly inspired by the 50th anniversary of the so-called Corinthian Invasion, a landmark episode in Timão’s history.

According to the profile @MarlitosF81, the kit would be predominantly blue, as a tribute to Tobias, a goalkeeper who made his mark wearing the Corinthians shirt during the 1970s. The design would also feature a polo-style collar, with a button on the front.

The shade shown in the image, however, may still change before any official release. For now, the post represents only a preview of what would be Corinthians’ new third kit.

Tobias died in 2024 at the age of 75 and played 125 matches for the club. The goalkeeper was one of the key figures in the team that reached the semifinals of the 1976 Brazilian Championship, precisely on the occasion when thousands of Corinthians fans traveled to Rio de Janeiro to follow the match against Fluminense at the Maracanã.

The following year, Tobias was also among the players who won the 1977 Campeonato Paulista. In the final against Ponte Preta, Corinthians ended a 23-year spell without lifting a trophy.

The choice of blue for the possible new kit would therefore strengthen the connection to one of the most important figures of that generation. Tobias is remembered as one of the great goalkeepers in Corinthians history and played an important role in memorable moments of the 1970s.

Nike’s current collection, the club’s sportswear supplier, also uses the Corinthian Invasion as its main reference. The first two kits of the season were developed based on that concept, both the traditional white one and the black model with white stripes.

Another detail featured on the current shirts is the stylized crest, inspired by the version used by Corinthians between 1940 and 1980. The design was created by former player Francisco Rebolo and appears as a historical reference on the kits released in May.

The expectation is that the third shirt will be officially unveiled starting in August. If the schedule is maintained, the new model will continue the historical tributes promoted by Nike in Corinthians’ kits.

Last season, Timão’s third kit was inspired by the Total 90 collection, also developed by the American supplier.
