Independiente 26-27 away kit released

Argentine side Club Atlético Independiente and Puma have officially released the club's new away kit for the 2026-27 campaign. The design continues the "Forjada en el infierno" (Forged in Hell) concept introduced on the home shirt, paying tribute to the club's rich history while delivering a clean, modern aesthetic. Independiente shirts for the new season feature a white base enriched with an engineered tonal jacquard pattern.

White base with tonal flame graphics on the Independiente 26-27 away kit

The Puma Independiente 2026-27 away jersey features a white base enriched with an engineered tonal jacquard pattern evoking subtle flames across the front. The pattern runs across the chest and sleeves, creating a textured effect that references the "Forged in Hell" theme carried over from the home shirt.

Navy blue trim and red piping detail Independiente's new away shirt

Deep navy blue trims outline the ribbed V-neck collar and sleeve cuffs. Delicate red piping accents the collar and cuffs, nodding to the club's 1989-90 kit. The front displays the classic historical IFC crest in navy alongside matching Puma cat logos, both rendered in the same deep blue tone.

The red detailing offers a subtle contrast to Independiente's 1997/98 home shirt, which carried the club's traditional red and white stripes.

Independiente's 2026-27 away strip makes its debut this Sunday

The new alternative strip is scheduled to make its on-pitch debut this Sunday when Independiente host Gimnasia de Mendoza at the Estadio Libertadores de América - Ricardo Enrique Bochini. The match will mark the first competitive outing for the white away kit.

Retro-inspired design references the 1989-90 season

The red piping that accents the navy blue trim on the collar and cuffs is a direct reference to the club's 1989-90 kit. This detail connects the modern design to a specific period in the club's history, while the tonal flame pattern across the white base maintains the contemporary aesthetic.

Historical IFC crest completes the look

The classic historical IFC crest appears on the chest in navy blue, matching the colour of the Puma cat logos. The monochrome treatment of the crest and manufacturer branding creates a unified look across the front of the shirt, contrasting with the white base and subtle flame graphics.
