In 2026, the prestigious Italian club Fiorentina will celebrate its 100th anniversary. To commemorate this milestone, the club, in collaboration with equipment sponsor Joma, has officially launched the 2026/27 centenary jersey with the theme "1926-2026", paying tribute to the team's century-long legacy.

This special edition jersey revives memories of early Viola football, bringing classic elements from the club's origins back to the pitch.

In 1926, Florence's football passion was embodied by two clubs: Club Sportivo Firenze, wearing white jerseys, and Palestra Ginnastica Fiorentina Libertas, wearing red uniforms.

In August of that year, the two clubs merged under the leadership of Marquis Luigi Ridolfi Vay da Verrazzano, forming the more ambitious Associazione Calcio Fiorentina.

The team's original identity was born—red and white jersey, black shorts, and the Florentine lily emblem on the chest. A century later, Joma reinterprets Fiorentina's original football DNA from this historical point of origin.

Red and White Half-and-Half Design Recreates the 1926 Classic

The standout feature of this centenary jersey is the distinctive red and white split design, directly mirroring the style of Fiorentina's first jersey when the club was founded in 1926.

The red and white each represent the historical legacy of the two clubs that merged that year, and also symbolize the cultural integration that Fiorentina football embraced from its inception.

The jersey is paired with a black collar, black shorts, and black socks, further recreating the classic look of the team from a century ago. The goalkeeper version features an all-black design, creating a distinct contrast with the outfield player version.

The chest crest also returns to the 1926 original—a red fleur-de-lis pattern on a white shield. This crest once adorned early Fiorentina players' chests, symbolizing the city's emblem and the team's early athletic aspirations.

Infinite "100" Symbol and 13 Lilies Honor History

Beyond its retro aesthetic, the jersey is filled with centenary commemorative details.

The jersey fabric is crafted using a special jacquard process that incorporates the "100" numeral pattern. The design team reimagined the number 100 as an infinity symbol shape, suggesting that Fiorentina's hundred-year history will not end but continue on.

This element is woven into the jersey's texture and also printed on the inside of the collar, serving as an exclusive badge for this centenary edition.

Additionally, the left sleeve features an embossed design of 13 lilies. These lilies continue the traditional element of Fiorentina's jersey but also honor the late team captain Davide Astori and the devoted fan base that has always supported the team.

The left sleeve is traditionally where the captain's armband is worn, so this design also symbolizes team spirit, the captain's legacy, and the vital meaning of the fans as the "12th man".

Limited Edition of 1926 Units, Rich in Centennial Collectible Value

The centenary jersey released by Fiorentina is available in limited quantities.

Specifically:

The red and white outfield player version is limited to 1926 units globally, corresponding to the year the club was founded;

The black goalkeeper version is limited to 100 units globally, representing the team's hundred years of existence.

Each limited edition jersey comes with an exclusive numbered badge and is packaged in a specially designed collector's gift box, available exclusively through Fiorentina's official channels and official stores.
