The Italy 2026 Away Jersey presents a sophisticated interpretation of the Azzurri identity, drawing directly from Italian tailoring and the elegant formal suits worn by the national team during historic celebratory moments. The design was officially unveiled by the FIGC on 20 March 2026.

The shirt uses a very pale blue-white base with an intricate all-over woven pattern designed to resemble the textures found in fine Italian tailoring. From a distance the jersey appears almost white, while closer inspection reveals the subtle blue detailing running throughout the fabric. Navy blue and gold accents provide contrast across the sleeves, crest area and numbering.

A particularly distinctive detail appears around the collar, where an “Italia” monogram takes inspiration from personalised embroidery traditionally found in bespoke clothing. The shoulder treatment also uses a herringbone-style construction, continuing the tailoring theme across the shirt.

Rather than relying heavily on the traditional Azzurri blue associated with Italy’s home shirts, the 2026 Away Jersey takes a more refined approach. Its pale base, navy detailing and restrained gold accents create a shirt designed to connect Italian football with the country's wider reputation for craftsmanship, elegance and sartorial culture.

Season Information

The 2026 away shirt was introduced as part of Italy’s preparations for the 2026 international cycle, with the FIGC describing it as a design based specifically on traditional Italian tailoring. Unlike many Italy away shirts that rely primarily on a simple white base with blue trim, this version uses the fabric itself to tell the design story through an intricate blue-and-white jacquard-style pattern.

The shirt belongs to the Italy generation led by Gennaro Gattuso, with established internationals including Gianluigi Donnarumma, Alessandro Bastoni, Riccardo Calafiori, Sandro Tonali, Nicolò Barella and Federico Dimarco joined by younger players emerging into the senior national-team setup.

Italy’s modern squad retains a strong defensive and midfield identity, with Barella and Tonali providing two of the most recognisable midfield options, while Calafiori and Bastoni represent the new generation of Italian defenders. In attack, players including Mateo Retegui, Moise Kean and Giacomo Raspadori have carried prominent squad numbers during the 2026 cycle. Current shirt-personalisation listings identify combinations including RETEGUI 9, RASPADORI 10, KEAN 11, TONALI 8, CALAFIORI 13, BARELLA 18, BASTONI 21 and DIMARCO 3.

Historically, Italy’s international identity is inseparable from its four World Cup-winning generations—1934, 1938, 1982 and 2006. The gold detailing incorporated into the 2026 collection provides a fitting visual connection with that championship heritage, while the tailoring concept gives this particular away shirt a distinctly Italian character rather than simply reproducing a traditional white change kit.

Rec. Player Printing Options

TONALI 8 is one of the strongest representative choices for the Italy 2026 Away Jersey.

Sandro Tonali provides a natural connection to the traditional qualities associated with Italy’s midfield—technical ability, passing range, tactical discipline and intensity—while belonging firmly to the current Azzurri generation. His No.8 is also confirmed among the current 2026 Italy shirt options.

For an attacking printing, RETEGUI 9 is the leading centre-forward alternative, while CALAFIORI 13 has an especially direct connection with this particular jersey because the FIGC featured Riccardo Calafiori wearing the new away kit in its official launch material.
