Napoli have unveiled their new home kit for the 2026-27 campaign, presenting a centenary design that reconnects the club with the symbols and colours from their earliest days and first league title.
The Italian side will mark 100 years of existence during the upcoming season. Their latest shirt, produced in collaboration with EA7 and Valentina De Laurentiis for the sixth consecutive year, features the image of a horse—a direct reference to the Steed of the Sun, Napoli’s original emblem and for centuries a representation of the untamable spirit of the Neapolitan people.
Design Roots
The club described the jersey as capturing “a century of history and belonging” while serving as “our second skin” for the campaign ahead. The creative project draws from the collective memory of supporters, with the sky-blue design deliberately recalling the lightweight wool kits worn throughout the 1980s and the specific strip from Napoli’s maiden Serie A championship.
Scotland midfielder Scott McTominay and Belgium playmaker Kevin De Bruyne featured prominently in the launch imagery shared across social media. Promotional footage accompanying the release spans from Mount Vesuvius to Posillipo, continuing through the heart of the old city to the Scugnizzo Liberato football pitch, weaving together places and identity.
Managerial Transition
The kit launch arrives as the Partenopei enter a fresh chapter under head coach Massimiliano Allegri. The former Juventus and AC Milan manager has signed a three-year contract at the Stadio Maradona, officially succeeding Antonio Conte.
Allegri assumes control during a significant milestone for the club, tasked with steering the squad through domestic and European competition while Napoli celebrate their centenary throughout the 2026-27 season. The appointment marks the first managerial change since Conte’s departure, with the new regime set to lead the team into the club’s second century.
