COVENTRY City have unveiled the club’s home shirt for the 2026/27 season ahead of the club’s momentous return to the Premier League.
The strip, inspired by the club’s 1987 FA Cup-winning kit, features white stripes on a deeper sky blue base colour which reflects the shirt from the 1986/87 campaign.
Navy pinstripes run through each stripe in a nod to the original 1987 design with navy accents on the collar and Hummel chevrons on the shoulders.
The stripe pattern fades on the back of the shirt to create a clean space for names and numbers.
Dark blue shorts and deep sky blue socks with white trim complete the kit.
Upon launching the kit, the club said: “The 2026/27 Coventry City home kit draws its identity from one of the most cherished moments in the club’s history, the 1987 FA Cup win, reworked with a modern, performance-driven finish.
“A deeper Sky Blue base pays tribute to the shirt worn on that historic day at Wembley, honouring the heritage that still runs through this football club.”
“Across the front, bold striped detailing features a subtle four-tone sky blue jacquard pattern, inspired by the scenes that filled Coventry city centre when the cup came home.
“Fine navy pinstripes running through each stripe reference the original 1987 design, while navy accents on the collar and the signature Hummel chevrons complete the look.
“The stripe pattern gradually fades toward the back, creating a clean finish built for names and numbers.”

Haas Formula One team principal, Ayao Komatsu, also features in the launch.
Fans can also purchase the shirt online and in the newly-launched COV store from 9am on Thursday, July 2.
