2026/27 Season Uniform Concept

“Integrate ‘club tradition’ and ‘Hiroshima culture’ with ‘innovation’ and evolve further!”

Home Uniform

“The 2026/27 season Sanfrecce Hiroshima 1st uniform adopts a global creative design that blends the club's tradition and pride with the texture of Bingo kasuri, a designated traditional craft of Hiroshima Prefecture.

Bingo kasuri is one of Japan's three major kasuri, alongside Iyo kasuri and Kurume kasuri, and is a famous traditional craft of Hiroshima. It features an indigo-dyed simple pattern and a unique texture where the edges of the pattern blur slightly, giving a soft and warm feel. In this uniform, while making full use of the atmosphere of Bingo kasuri, the club's symbol of sharp arrowheads (V-shape) and the delicate, smooth texture of the arrow feathers are expressed elegantly and powerfully in Hiroshima Violet. The beauty is like a fabric, and you can feel it in the actual uniform.

Furthermore, the harmony of the uniform design and color makes the gold used in the Swoosh stand out even more. Also, the accent color of Hiroshima Violet applied from both sides to the sides of the shorts firmly complements the club colors, making the overall impression more vivid.

We look forward to seeing the players energize in the new uniform, which is a wonderful fusion of Hiroshima's tradition and the club's innovation. As the stage of challenge expands from Hiroshima to Asia and from Asia to the world, the club's symbol, the three arrows, will be sharply released aiming for even greater heights. We hope that the thoughts embedded in the new uniform will be reflected in the players' performances and further enhance Hiroshima's presence in the world.”

Away Uniform

“The 2026/27 season Sanfrecce Hiroshima 2nd uniform color adopts an all-silver color for the first time in club history, and behind it lies a passionate story unique to Hiroshima.
This all-silver was inspired by the silver color of the iron plate essential for okonomiyaki, a soul food of Hiroshima Prefecture, and the spatula used to eat it. During the post-war reconstruction period, okonomiyaki that supported people's lives was cherished as a power food and soul food, and at the same time, iron plates played an important role along with Hiroshima's steel industry. The symbol of this food culture, still passed down today, is vividly breathed into the uniform design. The global creative design pushes forward with a silver color reminiscent of iron plates and spatulas, strongly expressing Hiroshima pride.

Also, as with the 1st uniform, Hiroshima Violet accents are applied from both sides to the sides of the shorts and the Swoosh. This ensures that the soul of Hiroshima and the club's tradition stand out even in away games.

“No matter the enemy territory, show a solid, thick defense like an iron plate, and cut through any opponent with a sharp spatula!” We look forward to the dynamic play of the players typical of Sanfrecce Hiroshima.”

Functionality and Design

Environmentally Conscious Materials

Nike has adopted 100% recycled polyester for the uniforms based on its comprehensive initiative ‘MOVE TO ZERO’, which clearly demonstrates Nike's commitment to taking action to create a better world with the 3Rs: Reduce, Reuse and Recycle, aiming for zero carbon dioxide and waste emissions to protect the future of sports.

The material excels in lightweight, breathability, moisture absorption, and quick-drying properties, achieving comfortable wear and feel. The same material is used for the shorts, allowing players to perform at their best.

Shape and Material

① New collar shape: A fusion of V-neck and crew neck, with a three-dimensional finish around the neck that improves fit and comfort compared to conventional necklines.

② New chassis: A stress-free design that follows the body more closely, aiming for further performance improvement. In particular, three-dimensional cutting is incorporated around both shoulders to create a structure that does not hinder movement.

③ Material: 100% recycled polyester material that excels in lightweight, breathability, moisture absorption, quick-drying, and stretchability, achieving comfortable wear and feel. The same material is used for the shorts.

Emblem, Logo, Inner Pride

The 2026/27 season authentic uniform continues to use a silicone type for the team emblem, which is a symbol of the club and the pride of the players, and a transfer sheet for the champion stars representing five titles.
On the left sleeve, the '86' logo expressing the memory of August 6 that must never be weathered, and as the mission of the club in Hiroshima, the catchphrase “One Ball. One World.” expresses the desire to continue sending out wishes for world peace through soccer. On the right sleeve, the 'HIROSHIMA' logo is expressed with the desire to aim for a club loved and proud in Hiroshima under the basic principle of “sharing dreams and excitement through soccer business and contributing to the region.”

On the back of the neck, three arrows, the pride of the club, are used as an inner logo.

2026/27 Name & Number

For the 2026/27 season, a new Nike original font with the club emblem printed on the back number will be adopted. The name font will also be a Nike original font.
