FOOTBALL - Coventry City unveil 2026/27 home shirt ahead of Premier League return

Aaron Sutcliffe 10 hours ago Updated: 9 hours ago   0

COVENTRY City have unveiled the club’s home shirt for the 2026/27 season ahead of the club’s momentous return to the Premier League.

The strip, inspired by the club’s 1987 FA Cup-winning kit, features white stripes on a deeper Sky Blues base colour which reflects the shirt from the 1986/87 campaign.

Navy pinstripes run through each stripe in a nod to the original 1987 design with navy accents on the collar and Hummel chevrons on the shoulders.

The stripe pattern fades on the back of the shirt to create a clean space for names and numbers.

Dark blue shorts and deep sky blue socks with white trim complete the kit.

Let us know what you think of the shirt in the comments below.




The kit launch comes alongside a video campaign produced by the club which celebrates the city’s motor, music and fashion culture.


The release stars Coventry music artists Elliot Rawling (Overpass), Erin West (Shortstraw), Danniella Dee and her father Trevor Evans.

Haas Formula One team principal, Ayao Komatsu, also features in the launch.

Fans can purchase the shirt online and in the newly-launched COV store from 9am on Thursday, July 2.
