Notts County have officially launched their new away kit for the 2026-27 season. The light pink shirt, produced by Puma, is a direct nod to the club's famous historical link with Juventus, as reported by Footy Headlines this week.
The design features black accents on the sleeve cuffs and a buttoned henley collar. All branding, including the club crest, is rendered in monochrome black. This completes the club's kit set for the campaign, sitting alongside a traditional black-and-white striped home shirt and a separate heritage third kit.
What is the Juventus connection?
The pink colour is not a random choice. It references the original colours worn by Juventus when the Italian club was founded. In 1903, Juventus adopted Notts County's iconic black and white stripes, a gesture that created a lasting bond between the clubs. This new away kit effectively reverses that tribute, with Notts County now wearing a shade connected to Juventus's early identity. It's a unique piece of football history made tangible on a new shirt.
Where can fans buy the new kit?
The 2026-27 away kit is now available for purchase through Notts County's official retail channels. The launch provides a fresh look for the team as they continue their League One season. Fans looking to see the squad in the new strip can check the upcoming fixtures, starting with a home match this weekend.
How does the kit launch fit the current season?
The kit unveiling comes as Notts County prepare for their next League One fixture. The Magpies currently sit 15th in the table with 2 points from their opening two games, both draws. They have scored 3 goals and conceded 3, leaving them with a zero goal difference. The team is four points behind early leaders Bradford City. Their immediate focus is a home game against Burton Albion, who are 7th, on 29 August 2026. You can follow the team's progress in the standings.
What other kits were revealed?
The Footy Headlines report also covered new shirts from several other clubs. Blackpool FC will release a limited-edition third kit on 29 August to commemorate 125 years at Bloomfield Road. Only 1,901 individually numbered shirts will be made, featuring an off-white base with a collage of vintage crests and tickets. US Sambenedettese's third kit is petrol green with a red and navy polo collar, incorporating poetry by local writer Bice Piacentini. CD Toledo's away shirt is black with thin gold pinstripes, while SV Sandhausen's Macron-made away kit is predominantly black with dark grey trim.
For Notts County, the new away kit is more than just a change of colour. It's a wearable piece of the club's storied past, arriving as the current squad looks to build momentum in the league. The team's full squad will be aiming to turn those early draws into wins while wearing this historically inspired design.
