Genoa’s New Home Shirt Design Takes Inspiration From an Unusual Source

Genoa and Kappa have unveiled the club’s new home shirt for the 2026/27 season. The retro design draws from an unexpected source: a 1992 UEFA Cup quarter-final victory at Anfield.

Inspiration: A Quarter‑Final Trip to Anfield

The shirt takes its cue from Genoa’s 2‑1 win over Liverpool in the 1991–92 UEFA Cup quarter‑final second leg. That match made Genoa the first Italian side to win at Anfield in European competition. Kappa revealed the design on Instagram, sparking debate over whether a quarter‑final victory warrants a full shirt tribute.

While some may question the choice, the design itself is undeniably striking. It revives classic early‑1990s aesthetics with a half‑and‑half colourway.

Design Details: Retro Colours and Classic Crest

The shirt features Genoa’s traditional half‑and‑half design: a bright, vibrant red on the right side (returning after two years) balanced by deep navy blue on the left. A smart polo collar with jacquard detailing and matching sleeve cuffs add to the throwback feel. The full traditional Genoa crest returns to the chest, replacing last season’s stylised Griffin emblem.

It feels authentic and full of character – a successful design that gets people talking.
