SK Brann have officially launched their new third kit for the 2026 season. The white Nike shirt, debuted in the match against Sandefjord, marks the 50th anniversary of the club's 1976 Norwegian Cup victory. This was reported by the outlet Footy Headlines this week.
The team drew 0-0 with Sandefjord on August 30, remaining unbeaten in their last two matches. Brann currently sit fifth in the Eliteserien with 26 points from 18 games. They have scored 36 goals and conceded 27. You can track the progress on our standings page.
What does the new kit look like?
The new third kit is predominantly white. On the right side of the chest, behind the Nike Swoosh, are vertical red stripes. The sponsor branding and the club crest are also in red, with the crest in a monochrome version. The kit is the third in Brann's 2026 collection, which also includes a home and an away shirt.
The design is a direct tribute to the Brann side that won the Norwegian Cup in 1976. The anniversary falls exactly 50 years after that triumph. The kit was worn for the first time in the away draw.
What does this mean for the rest of the season?
The launch of a new kit comes during a busy period for Brann. The squad has several key players sidelined with injury, including Jonas Torsvik, Sakarias Opsahl, and Sævar Atli Magnússon. Their status can be checked on our injuries page.
The next challenge is a home fixture against Lillestrøm on September 5. Lillestrøm sit in sixth place, just one spot below Brann in the table. It will be an important match in the pursuit to catch leaders Bodø/Glimt, whom Brann trail by 18 points.
How does the kit fit into this year's collection?
Brann's 2026 kit collection is now complete with home, away, and third shirts. The new third kit stands out with its white base and red accents. It provides the coaching staff with an additional visual option for certain away fixtures.
With 36 goals scored so far this season, Brann's attack has been effective. The new kit will be worn in the coming matches, and the team's fixtures show a congested schedule ahead. The aim is to use the momentum of history to improve the current run of form, which is DWWLW.
The Eliteserien race is tight, and every match counts. Brann will hope the symbolically charged new kit can contribute positive energy on the pitch. Focus is now fully on preparations for the clash with Lillestrøm.
