South African side Cape Town City have officially unveiled their new home kit for the 2026/27 season, with Umbro delivering a design that celebrates the club’s 10-year heritage. The launch carries the tagline “Built on ten years of heritage. Still unmistakably City.”
The new shirt retains Cape Town City’s traditional royal blue as its dominant colour, while a bold yellow horizontal band across the chest provides a striking contrast. Yellow detailing is also incorporated around the collar and neckline, while subtle horizontal texturing adds depth to the overall design.
Umbro’s branding, the Cape Town City crest and main sponsor SportPesa are positioned across the chest, creating a clean and classic appearance.
The design has already attracted comparisons with Boca Juniors’ 2026/27 home shirt, largely because of the similar royal-blue base and prominent yellow chest band.
Matching royal-blue shorts and socks are expected to complete Cape Town City’s home ensemble for the upcoming campaign.
The new kit gives the Citizens a traditional yet modern look as they enter the 2026/27 season, combining the club’s familiar colours with a bold design that celebrates a decade of Cape Town City heritage.
