Below is a focused rundown of the reported designs circulating online.<\/p>\n<p>Arsenal\u2019s home shirt is described as largely classic but with subtle detail: a burgundy collar that features a zig-zag pattern and multiple shades of red across the body. The away design has been likened to a &#8220;reverse&#8221; of the club\u2019s famous &#8216;Bruised Banana&#8217; shirts from the early 90s, pairing a navy base with the retro pattern and red and yellow accents. Lightning bolt graphics are said to return on the third kit, drawing comparisons to the club\u2019s 2019-20 and 2021-22 away shirts.<\/p>\n<p>Aston Villa\u2019s leaks suggest a shift from the recent template. The reported home kit uses a sky blue collar on a polo-style design. Discussion persists over away and third colourways, with blue, white, black and yellow all mentioned. Some versions indicate a tribute to the gates of Villa Park on the third shirt.<\/p>\n<p>Chelsea details are still speculative. Early reports point to sharp yellow accents, labelled &#8220;Midwest Gold&#8221;, cutting through royal blue on the home jersey. That same &#8220;Midwest Gold&#8221; tone is also mentioned for an away shirt that would sit against a predominantly black base. For the third kit, a vintage badge is said to reappear in homage to the white, red and blue strips of the early 90s, though modern designs are expected to differ.<\/p>\n<p>Leeds United are reportedly set to introduce horizontal stripes on their home shirt for the first time, with clear inspiration drawn from a 2005-06 Admiral shirt that once featured vertical blue and yellow pinstripes.<\/p>\n<p>Liverpool\u2019s home leak takes cues from the Candy-sponsored shirt worn between 1989 and 1991 but in a much darker tone than their 2025-26 home. The away kit is said to use white, grey and red with a retro Adidas logo, while the third is expected to be mainly black with silver and red accents.<\/p>\n<p>Manchester City\u2019s home design appears largely traditional, with fading from sky blue to white at the base. The club confirmed fan involvement in the third-kit process: &#8220;Your imagination is your tool \ud83e\udef5\ud83c\udfa8  It\u2019s now your turn to design our @pumafootball  26\/27 Third Kit with PUMA AI CREATOR \ud83d\udc55&#8221;. The club said 180,000 designs were submitted and the top 10, decided by fans and experts, were unveiled last year.<\/p>\n<p>Manchester United\u2019s leaked home shirt, seen on Bruno Fernandes, shows a clean collar and white accents. The away top is reported to be bright royal blue, while mock-ups of the third project an off-white tone with a central badge and a subtle Lancashire rose in the background.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Leaked 2026-27 kit details for Arsenal, Aston Villa, Chelsea, Leeds, Liverpool, Man City and Man Utd<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":6204,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[192,711,190,702,175,1056,1083,969],"tags":[1355,342],"class_list":["post-6205","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-arsenal","category-aston-villa","category-chelsea","category-leeds-united","category-liverpool","category-man-city","category-man-utd","category-premier-league","tag-badge-design","tag-bruno-fernandes"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.weplayfpl.com\/news-articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6205","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.weplayfpl.com\/news-articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.weplayfpl.com\/news-articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.weplayfpl.com\/news-articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.weplayfpl.com\/news-articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6205"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.weplayfpl.com\/news-articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6205\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.weplayfpl.com\/news-articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/6204"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.weplayfpl.com\/news-articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6205"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.weplayfpl.com\/news-articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6205"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.weplayfpl.com\/news-articles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6205"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
