Venezia have unveiled their home jersey for the 2026/27 season, marking their return to Serie A with a design created by Drake’s NOCTA label. The newly promoted club will wear the kit as they compete in the Italian top flight following their 2025/26 Serie B title triumph.
Design and Aesthetics
The shirt features a predominantly black base adorned with the club’s distinctive orange and green bands across the chest. These colours, synonymous with the Lagunari, also appear as accents along the collar and sleeves, maintaining the aesthetic identity that has characterised Venezia in recent campaigns. The design pays homage to the club’s traditional palette whilst presenting a modern silhouette appropriate for top-tier competition.
This release marks a definitive departure from previous supplier Kappa, who designed the club’s kits until February this year. The Italian sportswear brand had previously outfitted the Stadio Penzo side, but the transition to NOCTA signals a new commercial direction as Venezia prepare for the challenges of Serie A football.
Drake’s Involvement and Commercial Expansion
NOCTA operates as the clothing company run by rapper Drake, who holds a minority shareholder stake in Venezia FC. The collaboration extends significantly beyond the matchday shirt, with the club and NOCTA planning to release training apparel, travel wear, fan merchandise and streetwear items throughout the upcoming campaign.
The Canadian artist’s involvement with the club has brought increased international attention to the Venetian side since he acquired his stake. The comprehensive nature of this partnership suggests a long-term vision integrating football culture with contemporary fashion, capitalising on Venezia’s unique aesthetic appeal as they resume their place among Italy’s elite.
Venezia’s immediate sporting priority will be consolidating their position in Serie A after earning automatic promotion through their Serie B championship. The new kit will debut when the 2026/27 season commences, with supporters able to purchase the full range of NOCTA-designed products during the campaign.
