The Bundesliga's 2026/27 shirt collections cover all 18 clubs, from Bayern's adidas range to the promoted teams' first-season or returning top-flight designs. This guide follows the home, away and third outfield shirts, explains the club details worth noticing and points towards official collections. The season context was checked on 14 October 2026; goalkeeper shirts and special editions are treated separately from the usual three-shirt range.
How to read the 2026/27 home, away and third-kit guide
Start with the season and the collection label. A 2026/27 home shirt belongs to the current club range; a discounted 2025/26 shirt is a different design even if its colour looks familiar. Home, away and third identify the usual outfield collections. Goalkeeper shirts, anniversary releases and other special editions can appear beside them in a shop without becoming the team's ordinary third shirt.
The labels also do not guarantee which shirt will appear at a particular venue. Clubs need an appropriate combination against the opposition, so an away match does not automatically mean the product called the away shirt. Shirts, shorts and socks are parts of the full kit, and the match combination can differ from the one shown in a launch photograph.
All 18 clubs are covered below. The grouping follows regional identity for established sides, then the three promoted clubs' collections. Each club entry considers the main home look, the alternative range and the supplier, with meaningful design context where it has been confirmed. A visual resemblance or a leaked image alone is not enough to establish a release.
The league's official guide supplies links to the clubs' shops, while club launch descriptions help explain local motifs. Those descriptions are more useful than treating every pattern as a generic fashion detail. A roofline, a stadium reference or a historic crest can connect a new design to a familiar part of supporting the team.
Before buying, distinguish the design from the version being sold. An adult fan shirt, a player-performance edition and a children's shirt can share the same broad appearance while differing in fit and construction. Printing can also alter the final product. The club sections help you choose a collection; the final buying checks help you choose the version that fits how you intend to wear it.
Bayern and Augsburg: two different Bavarian identities
Bavaria supplies two contrasting approaches to this season's shirts. Bayern's collection moves between immediately recognisable club colours and a darker alternative, while Augsburg uses three designs to tell different parts of its city's history. The supplier matters here too: Bayern's adidas collection and Augsburg's Mizuno range have different detailing and product families, so matching the year alone is not enough when comparing a listing.
Bayern Munich
Bayern's home shirt is red and white, the familiar combination confirmed in the club's home-kit announcement. It is the clearest choice for supporters who want the shirt to look unmistakably Bayern from a distance. The away version changes the balance: white is the main colour, with navy and red details, including a navy collar and contrasting shoulder stripes. That lighter base makes the away shirt quite different from the home option without abandoning the colours associated with the club.
The third shirt takes the collection in another direction. Its dark navy base carries a mottled graphic treatment, while red details provide contrast around the crest, supplier mark and shoulders. The 2026/27 third-kit record identifies navy, red and pink in the palette. Buyers should distinguish this standard third shirt from Bayern's separately named Oktoberfest collection. A seasonal special can look like an alternative match shirt in search results, but its product name is the more reliable way to identify it.
FC Augsburg
Augsburg's Mizuno home shirt has a cream-white base, with dark red and green marble-like veins. The club connects that pattern with Augsburg's Roman past and Augusta Vindelicum. Darker logos and gold detailing add definition to the pale shirt. The away shirt switches to petrol green, using a flowing, water-inspired pattern and gold marks. Together those two shirts offer a useful contrast: a light home design with strong historical references and a darker away option built around movement.
The third shirt completes the local-history theme through the city's textile tradition. Augsburg's September launch describes a woven check pattern, a red, green and white colour scheme, dark green collar and sleeve trim, and white embroidered marks. The museum setting of the launch helps explain the design: the texture is part of the story, rather than an arbitrary graphic added to a plain shirt. Before choosing between the three, compare a close view of the fabric as well as the main product photograph; the woven detail can be much less visible in a small shop thumbnail.

Dortmund and the Rhineland clubs: familiar colours and new details
These four collections show why a club name and a rough colour description can still leave several possible shirts. Dortmund and Gladbach both wear Puma, but their alternatives look very different. Leverkusen has two light shirts distinguished by their accents, while Cologne's adidas range separates a white home shirt from two stronger-coloured alternatives. Look at the collar, sleeve treatment and pattern before deciding that two product listings show the same design.
Borussia Dortmund
Dortmund's home shirt keeps a yellow base with black and white detailing, including black side panels and a restrained geometric texture. The black away shirt reverses the emphasis, with yellow marks and a tonal zigzag pattern. The club's away launch dedicates it to supporters who travel with the team. The third shirt is a larger departure: purple with neon-yellow trim and fine vertical texture. Dortmund presented it in Tokyo in July. For a supporter choosing one shirt, the home version offers the conventional black-and-yellow identity; the third offers a visibly different palette while keeping yellow as a connection to that identity.
Bayer Leverkusen
New Balance gives Leverkusen a red-and-black striped home shirt, with black sleeves and collar. The away shirt uses white with blue and sky-blue effects around the sleeves and collar. The third shirt is also predominantly white, but its accents return to black and red. That is the distinction most likely to matter when browsing small thumbnails: the away shirt's blue treatment separates it from the third. Leverkusen's third-kit announcement explains the subtle lion motifs drawn from the city's coat of arms. A separate European collection should be checked by its own label rather than automatically counted as one of these three standard shirts.
Borussia Mönchengladbach
Gladbach's home shirt is white with green graphic detailing and black elements. Its black away shirt combines green accents with metallic-coloured marks; shop descriptions use bronze or copper language, while the archive groups those marks under gold. The third shirt shifts to a sky-blue and green combination with a gradient-style graphic. The official 2026/27 collection lists home, away and third versions separately, including different cuts. The practical choice is between a light shirt anchored in traditional white and green, a dark alternative, and the more colourful third. A women's cut or authentic version belongs to the same design family but can have a different fit.
1. FC Köln
Cologne's adidas home shirt uses white, red and black, while the red away shirt has white pinstripes. The navy third shirt brings white and red graphic elements into a darker alternative. These three designs create an easy visual progression from light to red to navy, even though all share the club's identity. Use the official FC collection and the specific season label together when shopping. The Willi Ostermann special shirt is listed separately and should not replace the third in an all-three collection. Also distinguish a goalkeeper product from the navy outfield shirt: colour alone is an unreliable guide when several seasonal ranges are displayed together.
Northern and eastern clubs: from port cities to Berlin and Leipzig
The northern and eastern collections cover a wide range of colours, from Bremen's green-and-white stripes to Leipzig's red away shirt. Several also rely on texture that is easiest to appreciate in close photographs. A shirt can appear almost plain on television while still carrying a woven pattern, so the launch images and product detail views are useful companions to match footage.
Werder Bremen
Werder's hummel home shirt has green and white vertical stripes, a central crest and the supplier's familiar chevrons. The dark-green away shirt takes a quieter approach, with woven tonal stripes and orange, white and dark-green details. The away launch connects its campaign with Bremen's textile history and the Baumwollbörse. The third shirt is coral or pink with petrol-green details and an all-over geometric treatment. That creates three clearly different choices: traditional stripes, a restrained dark shirt, and a much brighter alternative. Fans seeking the current home design should check the central crest and stripe layout against the season label rather than assume any green Werder shirt is the new home version.
Hamburger SV
HSV's adidas home shirt looks close to white, but its base is described as Blue Tint: a pale shade with a slight blue cast, combined with dark detailing. The away shirt is stronger blue with a white V-neck, white shoulder stripes and black trim. The third shirt uses alternating navy and red vertical stripes with white accents. The club shop separates the three 26/27 outfield shirts from its goalkeeper and eSports products. This is a collection where screen settings can affect the impression of the home colour. If that subtle tint is important to your choice, compare several official photographs rather than rely on a single overexposed image.
RB Leipzig
Leipzig's Puma home shirt pairs white with fading red dotted pinstripes and a red collar. The away option is predominantly red, with yellow and navy in its palette. Its third shirt is navy with blue and red graphic elements, including geometric shapes and flowing lines. The third-kit record distinguishes that patterned shirt from the simpler red away option. For a collector, the most useful comparison is the structure of the three designs: light pinstripes, a bold red alternative and a darker graphic shirt. Do not assume that a listing's reference to European football changes the season or makes a differently photographed third shirt a fourth standard design.
Union Berlin
Union's adidas home shirt is red with white marks and an embossed pattern inspired by the stadium's roof construction, as explained in the club announcement. The away shirt combines a dark-grey pinstriped base with red details and black sleeve cuffs. The third uses white with a pale yellow or light-gold graphic pattern and matching light accents. The collection therefore separates a strong red identity from a dark alternative and a very light third shirt. The home texture is a useful detail for fans who prefer a direct stadium connection; the third's lighter palette offers a different look while remaining part of the same confirmed 2026/27 range.
The southwest: five club collections with distinct stories
Local history appears repeatedly in these collections, but the result is far from uniform. Frankfurt draws on regional drinking culture, Mainz on its city's architecture, and Stuttgart on Bad Cannstatt. Freiburg varies stripe width and colour transitions, while Hoffenheim introduces a blue home shirt with contrasting sleeves. These are useful details for supporters choosing a shirt with a connection to a place as well as a team.
Eintracht Frankfurt
Frankfurt's adidas home shirt has black and red vertical stripes with contrasting white shoulder stripes. The white-and-black away shirt uses a historical eagle identity associated with the 1980s and 1990s. The third shirt is blue-grey with black details and an ornate pattern linked to the Bembel, the traditional vessel associated with Hessian apple wine. The official collection explanation connects all three shirts with their design stories. The third's pattern is therefore more specific than a generic grey graphic; it offers a regional reference that a distant photograph may hide. Compare the crest as well as the base colour if you want the historical character of the away version.

Mainz 05
Mainz's Jako home shirt is red with white details and embossed symbols, including the club identity and the city's wheel emblem. The away shirt is white with red accents and a subtle geometric treatment. The third shirt uses anthracite tones with sandstone-coloured details. The club's third launch explains the reference to slate and sandstone in Mainz's buildings. Some broad colour indexes group those lighter accents under pink; the club's own description is more precise. For a buyer, this means the third is best understood as a dark architectural design with warm, pale contrast, rather than a conventional bright-pink alternative.
SC Freiburg
Freiburg's Nike home shirt has red and white vertical stripes of varying widths, with red sleeves and shoulder areas. The away shirt is mainly white with thinner red vertical lines and a red griffin identity. The third transitions from black in the upper area to red lower down, reinforced by a honeycomb-like pattern. The home and third announcement confirms that contrast. Home and away can both be indexed as red and white, so stripe width and the amount of white are especially useful identification details. The men's and women's products also have different sponsor arrangements; check the specific product photograph if you want to match the shirt worn by one team.
VfB Stuttgart
Stuttgart's Jako home shirt is white with a red chest band and red sleeves. The red away shirt has a white chest band, while the golden-beige third combines its gold base with a black band and black details. Each preserves the horizontal-band identity in a different palette. The gold-shirt launch places it within the tribute to Bad Cannstatt's history. Be aware that Stuttgart's shop can call this product an away shirt in gold, while the club announcement identifies it as the alternative shirt. Matching the gold-and-black design resolves that naming difference more reliably than searching only for the English word third.
TSG Hoffenheim
Hoffenheim's Macron home shirt combines blue with white sleeves and navy detailing. The club's product description connects a subtle motif with the antler from Hoffenheim's local coat of arms. The away version moves to an off-white base with navy graphic elements, while the third uses two purple tones in a vertical pattern with light trim. The third-kit record separates that purple shirt from the light away design. Check Macron's product-specific sizing before ordering: changing suppliers or choosing a different club's shirt can change how a nominal size feels, even when the label uses the same familiar letter.
The promoted clubs' 2026/27 shirts
Schalke, Paderborn and Elversberg bring three more complete collections into this Bundesliga season. Their standard shirts should be distinguished from promotion-celebration T-shirts and limited launch editions. A commemorative product may belong to the same year without being the shirt worn for ordinary league matches, and sponsor treatments can differ between early limited versions and later stock.
Schalke 04
Schalke's adidas home shirt uses royal blue and navy with white and lighter-blue details. Its abstract pattern references the VELTINS-Arena's roof as part of the stadium's anniversary celebration. The away shirt is white with navy elements, a historical S04 crest and the adidas Trefoil. The official away release describes a polo-style collar and its deliberate retro character. The third shirt is lime green with blue and white accents, a striking alternative to either blue or white. If you prefer the historical crest, choose the away design specifically; the existence of several blue-and-white details across the range does not make those shirts interchangeable.
SC Paderborn 07
Paderborn's hummel home shirt is black with blue details and an embossed Three Hares motif associated with the cathedral window. Its red-and-gold away shirt celebrates the city's 1,250-year history, with gold pinstripes and historical details around the neck. The third is turquoise with a peacock-inspired pattern and a navy collar. The club's full collection page is especially useful because it explains all three designs together. Early limited home and away editions carried Sportclub on the front rather than the later sponsor treatment. That difference can be legitimate, but a collector should confirm which edition a seller is offering. The club's own description also provides a more precise guide to the home pattern than a generic archive summary.
SV Elversberg
Elversberg's Nike home shirt combines contrasting white and black areas with gold accents. The away shirt is black with gold detailing, including its pinstriped treatment. The third changes to a bright red base with a dotted graphic and contrasting trim; the club's August third-shirt release confirms the red design and black-and-white partner marks. The three shirts offer a particularly clear change in overall appearance: a split light-and-dark home identity, a dark away option and a vivid alternative. Check that a product is labelled 2026/27, because the previous season also had white, black and red choices and colour alone would not establish that a listing shows the new design.
Choosing the right version before you order
Start with four identifiers: club, season, design and version. Bayern home 2026/27 is a design choice; authentic or fan version is a separate choice. The word replica does not automatically mean counterfeit. adidas explains that licensed replica shirts are official fan products, generally designed with a more relaxed fit, while authentic versions aim to reproduce the performance shirt with lighter materials and a closer cut. Other suppliers and clubs use their own terminology. Leverkusen, for example, identifies an Elite option alongside its standard third shirt, so read the product details rather than assuming every premium label means exactly the same thing.
Next, compare the size chart for the actual product. A medium shirt from one supplier does not establish your size in another, and a women's cut, children's product or player version can change the measurements. Werder's current home-shirt page specifically advises a larger size, but that is product guidance rather than a rule for the entire Bundesliga. Measure a shirt that fits comfortably and compare its chest and length with the chart. If you intend to wear a layer beneath it at winter matches, account for that in your choice.
Decide on printing after settling the fit. Player names, individual names, numbers and competition badges can be separate paid additions, and the pictured shirt may not include every option by default. Check the current squad number and spelling before submitting a personalised order. The BVB shop FAQ explains restrictions around personalised shirts and later player or number changes. Read your chosen seller's terms because those practical details can affect an exchange. Compare the final basket total, including printing and delivery, rather than only the first displayed shirt price.
Finally, treat care instructions as part of the purchase. Embroidery, heat-applied marks and printed numbers need the handling specified on the label; a shirt's attractive design is easier to preserve when washing follows those instructions. For matchday context, our Bundesliga teams guide helps connect each shirt with its club, while the schedule shows upcoming fixtures. Choose the design you will enjoy wearing, confirm the exact version and fit, and use the club's current shop to check availability before ordering.
