Juventus and adidas Tap Into ‘Youth Since 1897’ With Striking New Third Kit

Juventus and adidas have lifted the lid on the club's new third shirt for the 2026/27 season, unveiling a bold design that celebrates the spirit of youth at the heart of the Bianconeri's identity. Blending cutting-edge performance technology with a distinctly modern aesthetic, the latest jersey offers a fresh take on what it means to wear the famous Juventus badge.

The inspiration behind the new AC Milan third shirt design comes directly from the club's Latin name, iuventus, which translates to "youth". Built around the theme "Youth Since 1897", the design pays tribute to the energy, creativity and ambition that have been part of Juventus since the club's foundation more than a century ago.

At first glance, the jersey makes a statement with its sleek black base, and a second look reveals a series of tonal flame graphics woven into the fabric. These engineered details create a sense of movement and texture across the shirt, giving it a contemporary feel while reinforcing the youthful concept behind the design.

Adding further impact are the gold accents that feature throughout the jersey. The iconic adidas three stripes on the shoulders, the adidas logo and the Juventus crest are all rendered in gold, standing out sharply against the dark backdrop. The combination delivers a premium look that feels both modern and unmistakably Juventus.

The design is beautifully bespoke, impactful and feels very fitting for Juventus. By looking back to the meaning behind its name while embracing contemporary influences, adidas has delivered a shirt that goes beyond just being performance wear, adding a layer to the that design  that serves to capture the enduring spirit of Juventus and its connection to youth, past and present.
