Maroon Returns - City launch their new away shirt.

Leicester City have launched their new away kit for 2026/27. Unveiled to great fanfare, with a retro look and the return of maroon, is this Leicester's best kit since the FA Cup winning shirt? Let's take a closer look.

Ah, the days when you counted down to the new Leicester City kit being launched.

What will it look like? Will there be a collar or maybe a complete redesign? When do I ask my mum for one?

As you get older, you're apparently meant to grow out of such behaviour. So I'm routinely told, anyway.

Not so much the case for myself; I love a new kit. Love it. I love to love it. I love even more to hate it. With Leicester City, it's not been hard in recent years to hate it.
