Back in the top flight in an unfamiliar colour: Schalke 04 release a bright green third kit for their Bundesliga return, living up to their motto “Unmissable”.
FC Schalke 04 have unveiled their new third kit for the 2026/27 season, their first back in the Bundesliga. In May, the club secured their return to the top flight as second-division champions, three years after relegation. Under the motto “Unmissable”, the club goes with a colour unfamiliar to Schalke: the kit is fully green, designed together with adidas and 11teamsports.
The contrast comes from a blue collar, the three white adidas stripes on the shoulders, and sleeve cuffs finished with one blue and one white stripe. The set is completed by two shorts options, one blue with green details and one green with blue details, plus green socks. It's the first of three kits Schalke will unveil for the new season.
Schalke 04: two new sponsors debut on the kit
The third kit also marks the debut of two new partners on the Schalke jersey: on the chest, new main sponsor BEUMER Group, a company from Beckum in Westphalia, appears for the first time. On the sleeve, BLÅKLÄDER features for the first time as the club's new sleeve partner.
Schalke 04: where to get the new third kit and when it makes its debut
The kit makes its on-pitch debut on Saturday in a friendly at FC Gütersloh. A Schalke team will stop off at new main sponsor BEUMER's site in Beckum on the way to Gütersloh, where fans can win the new kit on a prize wheel, with mascot Erwin also on hand. In Gütersloh itself, there'll be a mobile sales stand at the stadium.
The third kit is available now online at shop.schalke04.de and in all S04 fan shops. Also new: the neon orange goalkeeper kit with a tonal, abstract pattern, initially available online only, with delivery to fan shops to follow soon, according to the club.
