Lillestrøm SK have launched their new kits for European competition in the 2026/27 season. The club presented both a home and an away strip, according to a report from Footyheadlines this week.
The club's traditional yellow colours dominate the home shirt, which features darker yellow details on the sleeves. The away kit is in a deep navy blue tone with a subtle graphic texture. Both shirts carry the name of main sponsor Fremtind on the chest.
What defines the new kit designs?
The design of the home shirt is a modern interpretation of classic Lillestrøm elements. The yellow colour is the same that has been used at Åråsen for decades. The sleeve stripes in a darker yellow shade provide a contrasting look. The material is made to be breathable and light, which is important for intense European matches.
The away kit stands out distinctly with its dark blue colour. This colour was chosen to differentiate from opponents and to represent the club in a different way in Europe. The graphic texture on the fabric is inspired by patterns from the club's history, but is subtle enough not to be overwhelming.
How do the kits fit into the season schedule?
The launch coincides with Lillestrøm SK preparing for a busy autumn. The team currently holds a solid position in the Eliteserien, which provides good opportunities for European qualification next summer. You can follow their matches on our fixtures page.
The players will wear these kits in all European matches the club plays in the 2026/27 season. This includes potential qualifying matches for the Conference League, starting in early summer 2027. The club has a strong squad with experience from previous European participation, as seen on the squad list.
Who will wear the kits on the pitch?
Manager Geir Bakke has a broad and experienced squad at his disposal. Goalkeeper Mads Hedenstad Christiansen will likely wear a matching kit in goal. Striker Akor Adams, who has impressed with his goals this season, will be a central figure in the yellow shirt.
The midfield is supported by experienced players like Vebjørn Hoff and Lars Ranger. They will be responsible for controlling games in Europe. The defence, with players like Espen Garnås, must be solid to give the team a chance to go far in the tournament. The team's current position in the league standings shows they have the required qualities.
The team's first opportunity to showcase the new kits in a competitive match will be in the first qualifying round of the Conference League, expected to be played in July 2027. The club concludes the 2026 Eliteserien season with an away match against Sandefjord on December 6th.
