Cruzeiro confirms third-kit details, sets August launch | OneFootball

Cruzeiro officially announced this Wednesday (29) the first details of its third kit for the 2026 season. The new alternate uniform will be launched next Friday, August 7, and reaches the public after images of the model circulated on social media.

In a post on social media, Cruzeiro confirmed the date and presented new images of the shirt.

“We are guided by a giant history and by stars that shine on and off the pitch. Get to know more details of Cabuloso’s new third shirt. Official launch: August 7,” the club posted.

The new model’s main feature is a light tone, accompanied by blue and yellow details on the sleeves. Unlike the home kit, Cruzeiro’s crest appears in its full form on the front of the shirt, while the Adidas logo is shown in blue.

Another eye-catching detail is on the back of the uniform. The model features a printed map of Brazil, with Cruzeiro’s crest centered in the design.

Before the official confirmation, Adidas, the club’s sportswear supplier, carried out a promotional campaign in Belo Horizonte. Influencers who support Cruzeiro took part in a kind of treasure hunt, receiving clues to find the new shirt at a location in the capital of Minas Gerais.

The third shirt completes Cruzeiro’s collection of match kits for 2026. The main model was launched in January and began to be used at the start of the season, while the number two shirt reached the public in May and made its debut in the 1-1 draw with Fluminense at Mineirão, before the calendar break for the World Cup.

The new collection keeps the thematic line adopted by the club throughout the season. The main shirt refers to the 50th anniversary of the 1976 Libertadores triumph, while the second kit uses the map of Brazil as a visual element associated with the 1966 Brazilian title.
