EA FC 26: the best and worst team kits
Football kits are more than just uniforms; they’re an identity and legacy, with the anticipation of the new kits being a favourite part of any season for a football fan. This year’s EA FC for 2027 has delivered another great lineup of digital football kits that include some great (and some not so great) style decisions.
Whether you're playing Ultimate Team, taking your local club to glory in Career Mode, or jumping online with friends, picking the right kit for your team is an important part of the game. In EA SPORTS FC 27, the latest batch of kits brings together stunning modern designs, bold throwbacks, and a few fashion disasters that leave fans wondering what the designers were thinking. With more than 800 licensed clubs and national teams in the game, there's no shortage of standout football strips to choose from.
In this blog, we're picking out what we think are the very best and worst kits in EA FC 27. From timeless classics that look just as good under the floodlights as they do on your TV screen, to questionable colour combinations and patterns, we'll separate the must-wear shirts from the ones you'll be swapping out after one match. Whether you're looking for style points in Ultimate Team or simply want your Career Mode side to look the part, these are the kits that deserve your attention.
The Best FC 27 Kits
A great football kit does more than look good, it creates an identity. The best designs strike the perfect balance between tradition and innovation, combining club colours, clean graphics, and subtle details that make them instantly recognisable on and off the pitch. In EA FC 27, there are plenty of kits that stand out for all the right reasons, whether they're inspired by a club's history or push the boundaries with bold, modern designs.
Below are our favourites in this year’s game. These are the shirts that not only look fantastic during every match but also make your Ultimate Team or Career Mode save feel that little bit more authentic. If you're looking for a kit you'll never get tired of seeing, these are our top picks
Manchester City

Manchester City's 2027 home kit shows that a classic football shirt doesn't need an extravagant design to stand out. While the club's iconic sky blue remains the focal point, Puma has introduced a subtle gradient that fades into white towards the bottom of the shirt, creating a fresh look inspired by the different shades of blue worn throughout Manchester City's history. It's a modern update that respects the club's identity while offering something different from previous seasons.
Fans have praised the clean aesthetic, with many appreciating the understated approach over bold graphics or busy patterns. The soft gradient gives the shirt a premium finish without taking attention away from the club's traditional colours, making it just as wearable away from the stadium as it is on matchday.
Aston Villa

Aston Villa's 2026/27 home kit proves that traditional football shirts never go out of style. The famous claret body and sky blue collar and sleeve detailing remain at the heart of the design, while subtle jacquard woven detailing adds depth without distracting from the club's iconic colours. It's a refined update that feels unmistakably Villa, combining heritage and traditional football styling with a modern finish.
Supporters have praised the shirt for staying true to the club's identity, with many appreciating its clean look and attention to detail. Rather than relying on bold graphics, adidas has focused on creating a kit that feels timeless both on and off the pitch. For fans who appreciate classic football design, Aston Villa's latest home kit is one of the standout releases of the season.
Chelsea

Chelsea's 2026/27 away kit proves that sometimes less is more. Swapping the club's traditional blue for a sleek black base, this shirt is elevated by striking yellow accents that create a sharp contrast without overwhelming the design. The clean colour combination gives the kit a premium feel, making it one of the most eye-catching away shirts of the season while remaining effortlessly wearable on and off the pitch.
Supporters have been quick to praise the bold yet understated look, with many highlighting the black-and-yellow colourway as a refreshing change from previous away kits. It's a design that feels modern and instantly recognisable, appealing to fans looking for something different in their matchday wardrobe.
Barcelona

Barcelona's 2026/27 home kit is a perfect example of how a club can refresh an iconic design without losing its identity. The unmistakable blaugrana stripes remain at the heart of the shirt, but this season they're brought to life through a blend of rich garnet and multiple shades of blue, creating a greater sense of depth and movement. Inspired by the colours of the newly renovated Spotify Camp Nou, the design celebrates both Barcelona's history and its future, resulting in a shirt that feels instantly familiar yet unmistakably modern.
Supporters have welcomed the updated interpretation of the club's famous colours, with many appreciating how the design honours tradition while introducing a contemporary edge. Rather than relying on dramatic patterns, the shirt stands out through subtle detailing and a premium finish that reflects Barcelona's reputation for style.
The Worst FC 27 Kits
Not every football kit is a masterpiece. While some shirts become instant fan favourites, others miss the mark with clashing colours, overcomplicated patterns, or designs that simply don't suit the club they're representing. In EA FC 27, there are plenty of kits that leave a lasting impression, but not always for the right reasons.
Below we’ve highlighted a few of the worst kits in EA FC 27. From bold experiments that didn't quite pay off to shirts that are nothing we haven’t seen before, these are the designs we'd think twice about using. Of course, this is all subjective, and you may have a different opinion, but these kits are among the most divisive in this year's game.
AFC Bournemouth

Bournemouth's 2026/27 home kit had all the ingredients to be a success, but its execution has left many supporters underwhelmed. The club's traditional red and black stripes remain, however the oversized circular sponsor logo dominates the centre of the shirt, with the stripes bending around it to accommodate the branding. Rather than complementing the design, it becomes the first thing your eye is drawn to, taking attention away from the club's colours and identity.
The kit has generated plenty of discussion among fans, with many feeling the sponsor integration compromises what could have been an otherwise strong design. While Hummel's first Bournemouth home shirt introduces some welcome new ideas, the overall look feels unnecessarily busy, proving that even the best colour combinations can struggle when commercial elements overpower the shirt itself.
Tottenham Hotspur

Tottenham Hotspur's 2026/27 home kit continues the club's tradition of predominantly white shirts, but its minimalist approach has mixed opinions. While clean designs often stand the test of time, this season's release has been criticised by some supporters for feeling too understated, with only subtle detailing separating it from previous home shirts.
For many fans, the issue isn't that the shirt looks bad, it's that it doesn't feel memorable. In a season filled with bold reinterpretations and creative design choices across European football, Tottenham's home kit struggles to make the same impression. It's a wearable shirt, but one that many supporters feel misses the opportunity to create a truly iconic design.
Eintracht Frankfurt

Eintracht Frankfurt’s 2026/27 home kit has received criticism from some supporters for taking the club’s traditional black and red stripes and making them considerably more complicated. Rather than sticking to a clean, consistent striped design, adidas has introduced stripes of different widths, stronger contrasts and layered detailing across the shirt. While the intention is to give the classic look a more modern and dynamic feel, some fans feel that the added detail comes at the expense of the simplicity that has traditionally made Frankfurt’s home shirts so recognisable.
The reaction from supporters has reflected that divide, with some describing the design as underwhelming or suggesting that more could have been done with it, while others have joked about the shirt's barcode-like appearance. For a club whose identity is so closely associated with its black and red stripes, altering the proportions and rhythm of those stripes was always likely to attract attention. Although the shirt remains rooted in Eintracht's traditional colours, the more fragmented pattern has made it less appealing to supporters who favour a more classic interpretation of the club's identity.
