Designing a home jersey for Benfica's 2026-27 season

Benfica prepares for the 2026-27 season, the iconic red home jersey remains a symbol of passion and tradition for "As Aguias." Club guidelines established in recent years mandate a predominantly red shirt, paired with white shorts and red or black socks, while preserving the full-color crest. This foundation allows adidas, the long-time kit partner, to innovate without straying from heritage.

One exciting concept draws inspiration from Benfica's street football roots, evident in the 2025-26 kits. Imagine a deep crimson base with subtle tonal eagle-wing patterns woven into the fabric, creating texture and movement reminiscent of the Vhils collaboration.

Black accents on a rounded collar and sleeve cuffs add sharpness, while three white adidas stripes grace the shoulders. A vintage goal graphic with "SLB" could appear faintly on the lower back, nodding to community origins. A bolder variation incorporates modern technology with heritage flair.

The Glorious Eagles decided to get creative an provide some ideas for the home jersey for next season while trying to maintain a classic and artistic design that we know fans love.

Design 1: A classic all red jersey with white trim on the neck and sleeves, you can't get a nice simpler look.

  

Design 2: An old school style that includes a collar, the jersey includes red as the majority color but a bit more white is added throughout the jersey in just the right places.

Design 3: The least likely of the three to be on the field next season but you just have to like the red and white stripe, its bold and could become an instant favourite.
