What Kit Are Aston Villa Wearing Today? 2026/27 Kits Graded

Claret and blue is one of the most protected colour combinations in English football, so the interesting thing about Villa's 2026/27 home shirt is what adidas left out.

The Home Shirt: A-

Claret and blue, but without the claret sleeves, and finished with a polo collar. Villa have spent the modern era in raglan-sleeved home shirts, and this one reaches back to the less conventional claret and blue designs the club wore in the 1960s instead. It is the cleanest Villa home shirt in years, and the polo collar is doing most of the work.

Grade: A-

The Away Shirt: B

All black, with yellow logos and a claret, sky blue and yellow tricolour running through the detailing, plus a standalone lion crest rather than the full badge. The graphic is a gas lamp motif, drawn from the lamps around Villa Park. A black away shirt is the safest thing a club can make, and the gas lamps are what stop this one being anonymous.

Grade: B

The Third Shirt: B+

An icy light blue base with claret and yellow, carrying an all-over graphic built from tiny dots that resolve into swirls. The reference is Villa Park again: the brickwork and the ornate gates, and the mosaic at the Holte End. Three shirts, three separate references to the same stadium, which is more coherent than most wardrobes manage.

Grade: B+

Frequently Asked Questions

What jersey are Aston Villa wearing today?

Same answer as the kit question above: the matchday block at the top of this page shows the expected Aston Villa jersey for their next fixture. In football the shirt is usually called a kit, but jersey and uniform mean the same thing here.

What is the Aston Villa uniform for the 2026/27 season?

Aston Villa have three uniforms for 2026/27: a home kit, an away kit and a third kit. Each one is described and graded on this page, and the matchday block tells you which of the three they are wearing next.

What kit are Aston Villa wearing today?

Villa travel to Brighton on Sunday, August 23. Brighton wear blue and white stripes at home and Villa’s home shirt carries blue, so a change kit is expected, most likely the black away shirt. We update this page as each matchweek is confirmed.

What do Aston Villa’s 2026/27 kits look like?

Home is claret and blue with a polo collar and no claret sleeves, referencing the 1960s. Away is black with a Villa Park gas lamp motif and a standalone lion crest. Third is icy blue with claret and yellow and a dotted swirl graphic taken from Villa Park’s brickwork and gates.

Who makes Aston Villa’s kits?

adidas.

Why does the Aston Villa home shirt not have claret sleeves?

It is a deliberate throwback. Villa wore several claret and blue configurations in the 1960s before the raglan claret sleeve became standard, and the 2026/27 home shirt goes back to one of those.

The Bottom Line

All three Villa shirts point at Villa Park, which is the most disciplined idea any Premier League club built a wardrobe around this season. The home shirt is the pick, mostly for the polo collar and the nerve to drop the claret sleeves. Matchweek 1 sends them to Brighton, where the blue on both shirts should force Villa into the black.
