Nike will revive the iconic 1996 jacket for the 2026-27 season, rolling it out across their elite clubs as part of the brand’s upcoming third-kit programme.
Nike 2026-2027 Elite Team Third Jackets
The return of the jacket ties directly into Nike’s broader design direction for 26-27, with all third kits set to celebrate the aesthetics, colours and graphic language of the 1990s.
The remake is virtually identical to the original silhouette—bold colour-blocking, oversized panel shapes and that unmistakable mid-90s Nike flavour. Clubs will receive customised versions matching their third kits, creating a unified retro-inspired collection for the season.

Nike’s 26-27 third kits themselves will lean heavily into 90s nostalgia, with vibrant palettes, big logos and archive patterns making a comeback across the line-up.
