We are pleased to announce the uniform design for the 2026/27 season. Pre-orders for the replica uniform (1st short-sleeved) are scheduled to begin on Sunday, July 5th, in the afternoon.
Details regarding the release date, delivery period, and other products will be announced sequentially as soon as they are finalized.
1st Uniform
The 2026/27 season marks the club's 35th anniversary, as we embark on new challenges. The inspiration for the 1st uniform design comes from the 2016 season uniform, when we achieved a double victory in the J-League and Emperor's Cup, and competed on the world stage. It weaves together historical significance and a firm determination to move into a new era with a modern approach.
The 2016 season featured a bold half-and-half graphic on the front, incorporating the club colors of deep red and dark navy. For the 2026/27 season, this has evolved further with a four-panel color block. This impactful design respects tradition while embodying the club's desire for further evolution and success on the world stage.
Sharp, intersecting lines in the center of the uniform, combined with a gradient on both shoulders and hems, draw the eye to the center, further highlighting the contrast between deep red and dark navy.
Moreover, gold makes a comeback as an accent color for the first time in eight years since the 2019 season, appearing on both sides of the shirt and shorts, the ribbed socks, and the Swoosh.
This dynamic yet elegant uniform design, befitting the club's 35th anniversary season, symbolizes the club's commitment to upholding its tradition and pride, while further surpassing past glories, embodying the team's evolution as a consistent winner and its challenge to the world.

2nd Uniform
The all-white uniform, also known as "Victory White" due to its high winning percentage in important matches such as cup games, is being continued. This Victory White symbolizes infinite possibilities and dignity, expressing the club's pride.
Furthermore, special colors befitting the club's 35th anniversary year are used as accent colors. Inspired by Zico (currently a club advisor), a symbol of the club who has consistently shown great leadership from its founding to the present, and by generations of Brazilian players who have left their mark on the club's history, the colors of the Brazilian flag have been incorporated into the global creative design as accents. This design expresses Kashima's gratitude and respect for Brazilian football.
This is the first time in five years since the 2021 season that yellow and green are used in the uniform design. This 2nd uniform is a special garment embodying the club's history, tradition, and aspirations for the future.
