São Paulo FC and New Balance have released the club's 2026 away jersey. The shirt uses the club's traditional tricolour identity in a design that reaches back into the São Paulo archive for its collar and borrows the full-body vertical stripe pattern that has defined some of their most memorable away kits.
The Design
The jersey is built on red, white and black vertical stripes that run the full length of the shirt and continue across the sleeves. The collar is a white polo style, described by the club as a retro element linked to past São Paulo shirts. A black shoulder area adds contrast at the top of the shirt.
The São Paulo crest sits on the left chest, the New Balance logo on the right. The Superbet sponsor appears across the front, with Ademicon on the back. On the upper back, the inscription "Tricolor Desde Sempre" runs across the shoulders with stars. A 96-year commemorative badge is placed near the hem. The inner back carries a "DNA Tricolor" print below the crest.
The fabric uses New Balance's NB DRY performance material, described as lightweight and breathable. The cuffs are ribbed and the collar is structured. The full away kit pairs the shirt with black shorts and black socks.
The Background
São Paulo were founded in 1930 and have since become one of the most decorated clubs in Brazilian football, with three Copa Libertadores titles and six Campeonato Brasileiro championships. The "Tricolor" identity, built on the three colours featured on this shirt, is the visual thread through all of it.
The polo collar is the deliberate heritage reference in this release. It connects the current shirt to earlier decades in the club's kit history, when the collar was a standard feature across Brazilian football. Its reappearance here is a design choice rather than a technical one, and it gives the shirt a character that separates it from the generic template releases that dominate the market.
The 96-year commemorative badge near the hem places the shirt in the context of the club's history. For collectors, details like that carry weight: they mark a shirt as belonging to a specific moment rather than being interchangeable with any other year.
The shirt was released on 13 April 2026.
