SSC Napoli Unveil Striking 2026-27 EA7 European Third Kit
Oct
SSC Napoli and EA7 have unveiled the club’s new 2026-27 European third kit, introducing a sophisticated navy and gold design created specifically for Napoli’s European campaign.
Released during the club’s centenary season, the new shirt combines a modern look with one of the oldest symbols associated with Napoli, as the historic Corsiero del Sole takes centre stage across the design.
Navy and Gold for Napoli in Europe
The new SSC Napoli 2026-27 European third shirt features a dark navy base complemented by Gold Sahara Sun detailing.
The gold is used across the Napoli crest, EA7 branding and shirt detailing, creating a particularly smart contrast against the almost-black navy background.
It gives Napoli a considerably different look for their European fixtures and also separates the shirt from the red 2026-27 domestic third kit unveiled earlier in the season.
The Corsiero del Sole Returns
The most distinctive feature of the new Napoli European third kit is the huge Corsiero del Sole incorporated into the front of the shirt.
The rampant horse was used as Napoli’s original emblem following the club’s foundation in 1926 and has been brought back into the club’s visual identity as part of its centenary celebrations.
Rather than simply applying the historic symbol as an additional badge, EA7 has worked it into the fabric using a subtle tone-on-tone effect. The horse stretches prominently across the body of the shirt but remains understated thanks to the dark navy colouring.
It is an unusual way of incorporating club history into a modern football shirt and makes the European kit instantly distinguishable from Napoli’s other 2026-27 designs.
Celebrating 100 Years of SSC Napoli
Several smaller details continue the centenary theme.
Inside the collar is Napoli’s special “ceNto” logo, created to mark the club’s 100th anniversary, while “Partenopei” appears on the back of the neck.
The navy collar and sleeve cuffs continue the understated colour scheme, allowing the gold detailing and Corsiero del Sole graphic to provide the main points of interest.
Player-specification versions of the shirt also feature Napoli’s Authentic patch with integrated NFC technology, allowing supporters to access exclusive digital club content.
Another Distinctive Napoli Shirt from EA7
Napoli have become known for producing an unusually varied collection of shirts in recent seasons, and their latest European release continues that approach.
Rather than simply modifying the club’s regular third shirt for UEFA competition, Napoli and EA7 have produced a dedicated European design with its own colour scheme and identity.
The combination of dark navy and gold gives the shirt a premium appearance, but it is the return of the Corsiero del Sole that makes the design particularly significant during Napoli’s centenary year.
For supporters interested in the history of football shirts, it is also a great example of how a modern kit can reference a club’s earliest identity without simply recreating an old design.
The SSC Napoli 2026-27 European third kit will accompany the Partenopei during their international fixtures this season, completing another extensive collection of EA7 shirts for the Italian club.
