Red, symbolising love for the club, and blue, representing a loyalty that endures through time, define the identity of the 2026/27 Home kit. The new home shirt celebrates the Rotblau tradition, while the Away kit revisits and reinterprets a shade of yellow that has previously featured in the club’s history, presenting it in a contemporary way.
Over the years, the partnership between Macron and FC Basel has produced collections capable of expressing the identity, history and symbols of one of Switzerland’s most prestigious football clubs through stylistic research, technical innovation and meticulous attention to detail. These values find further expression in the new collection that will accompany the club throughout the season in which it celebrates 133 years of history.
The new FC Basel 2026/27 Home shirt reinterprets the club’s iconic red-and-blue colour combination in a fresh and modern way. The central body of the shirt is bright blue, while the shoulders and sleeves alternate three distinct bands in red, navy blue and bright blue, creating a dynamic and distinctive effect. Completing the design is a V-neck collar trimmed in red.
On the front of the shirt, two wide embossed vertical stripes enhance the blue background. The chest features the Macron Hero in red on the right and the club crest on the left. On the outer back neck, the acronym FCB appears in red silicone print, while the word BASEL is embossed on the lower back of the shirt. A key element across the entire collection is the slogan “ROT ISCH UNSERI LIEBI – BLAU DIE EWIGI TREUI” (“Red represents our love, blue our eternal loyalty”), featured inside a customised silicone tape positioned along the inner hem and alternated with a heart motif. The message encapsulates the deep bond between the club, the city and its supporters. The inner back neck is customised with a yellow label featuring the words FC BASEL 1893 in black, a stylised heart, the Macron logo and the wording “Designed in Bologna”, certifying that every garment is conceived, designed and developed at the Macron Campus. For the 2026/27 kits, Basel-born designer Morris Manser also contributed to the design process, paying tribute to the passion and sense of community embodied by the club’s colours.
The Home kit is completed by blue shorts featuring red side bands that echo the shirt’s embossed graphic, and red socks displaying the FCB acronym and the Macron Hero in blue. The new Home kit is made from Eco Softlock, a fabric specifically developed for professional match kits, combining lightness, durability and high levels of performance and comfort on the pitch.
The new FC Basel 2026/27 Away shirt introduces an original and contemporary colour palette. Light yellow, bright and refined, takes centre stage in a shirt that expresses the club’s identity through a shade with strong visual impact and distinctive character. The crew neck features a lime-yellow trim, a colour also used on the sleeves alongside light yellow and white. The piping separating the body of the shirt from the sleeves is rendered in a warmer shade of yellow. On the chest, the Macron Hero appears in black, while the left side features a golden version of the club crest, created in silicone with a three-dimensional effect and incorporating the FCB acronym and the club’s two stars.
On the outer back neck, the word ROTBLAU appears in black, while the word BASEL is embossed on the lower back of the shirt. The Away version is also customised along the inner hem with the same tape featured in the Home shirt. The away kit is completed by white shorts with lime-yellow side bands and lime-yellow socks featuring the wording ROTBLAU in gold.
The Away shirt is made from Eco Performance Jacquard, a fabric that combines performance, technical innovation and stylistic research. Its distinctive construction enhances not only the garment’s appearance but also, and above all, its ability to support the athlete’s movements while ensuring breathability and comfort during play. As with all kits developed by Macron for its partner clubs, the 2026/27 Game Set is produced using Eco Fabric, made from 100% post-consumer recycled polyester.
All garments in the apparel collection created by Macron for FC Basel 1893 will be available soon in the dedicated section for the Swiss club on the Macron website.
