FC Augsburg officially launched their 2026-27 third kit on Thursday, September 17. The release marks the final regular kit unveiling by any Bundesliga club for the current season. The new away shirt features a maroon base complemented by deep green and crisp white detailing.
A Design with Historical Roots
The design from kit manufacturer Mizuno nods to Augsburg's past as a textile hub. An detailed jacquard pattern, inspired by the city's historic textile industry, covers the fabric. A green henley-style collar and matching sleeve cuffs complete the classic aesthetic. The club crest on the chest has been recolored to match the kit's palette, and the founding year 1907 is printed on the upper back. All logos are heat-applied stitched badges, and the kit is branded as 'No. 03'.
Ahead of the Bayern Clash
The kit launch comes during a positive spell for the team under manager Jess Thorup. Augsburg currently sit fourth in the Bundesliga table with seven points from four matches. Their recent form reads three wins, one draw, and one defeat. This strong start will be tested on October 10 when second-placed Bayern Munich visit the WWK ARENA. The current standings and full fixtures list outline the challenge ahead.
Despite a 3-2 loss at Werder Bremen last time out, the mood remains upbeat. In that match, Robin Fellhauer and Calvin Marc Brackelmann found the net for Augsburg. The season's top scorer so far is Michael Gregoritsch with three goals. The new third kit is now available for purchase and is expected to make its competitive debut in the upcoming fixture against Bayern Munich.
