Watford FC have revealed their 2026/27 Home kit, produced by Kelme for the seventh consecutive season.
Watford Kit Design & Inspiration
The new Watford jersey uses the club’s traditional yellow base, with broad red and black horizontal bands across the upper chest that reference the Hornets’ home kits worn between 1985 and 1988.
Black curved inserts extend from the neckline towards the shoulders, with matching panels positioned along the sides and lower back. The round collar combines black and red bands, repeated on the sleeve cuffs. A subtle tonal jacquard pattern is woven throughout the fabric.
Kelme branding appears in yellow on the right chest, opposite the Watford crest, which sits across the red chest band. BOXT continues as the principal front-of-shirt sponsor, with University of Hertfordshire branding applied to the sleeve.
The Latin word “Audentior”, meaning “With Greater Boldness”, is placed beneath the back collar in black and red lettering. A vertical black and red stripe is also positioned at the lower rear hem.
