Benfica ‘to launch’ bold black third kit for 2026/27 | OneFootball

Benfica are preparing to unveil a third kit for 2026/27, built around a deep black base and a more daring aesthetic than usual.

According to FootyHeadlines, multicolour graphic patterns sit over the dark base, with vivid pink and red tones shaping a bold, modern identity.

It is set to be the first third strip to fully reflect new design guidelines created by Benfica with Adidas, granting the brand greater freedom over base colours and patterns within a more open approach to innovation.

There are also fresh rules for club symbolism, with monochrome versions of the crest no longer permitted. The emblem must appear in its original colours.

Although not yet officially presented, the concept points to a shirt that blends innovation with tradition, delivering strong visual impact and a distinct identity.

That mix of Adidas’s creative licence and the full colour crest could make this third kit one of the most talked about next season.
