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.
Verdict: A Shirt That Stands on Its Own
The inspiration may raise eyebrows, but the end result is hard to fault. Kappa have delivered a home shirt that blends a curious piece of club history with classic colours, retro detailing and the traditional crest. It feels authentic and full of character – a successful design that gets people talking.
