Athens Kallithea FC has launched its striking new home and away kits for the 2026/27 season, marking the club's 60th anniversary with designs that blend football with cultural heritage. The club, known for its distinctive and aesthetically pleasing kits, has once again created something special.

This season's jerseys are particularly significant, honoring the club's six decades since its founding in 1966 through the merger of five local teams. This history is symbolized by five stars placed above the club's 'AK' monogram. The designs also draw inspiration from the renowned Greek singer Jenny Vanou, with a short film accompanying the launch featuring her music.

The new kits maintain a classic collar and a minimalist aesthetic. The home jersey is a deep blue with embossed vertical lines, while the away jersey features a clean white background with blue accents. Both kits proudly display the logo of the National Museum of Contemporary Art in Athens, continuing a four-year partnership.

The launch campaign includes a 16mm short film titled "Tonight," set to a 1963 song by Mimis Plessas, performed by Jenny Vanou. Filmed at the club's historic "El Paso" stadium, the film showcases the new kits through a dance duet. The jerseys are exclusively available online, with wider availability planned for September.
