A sharp kit will not win you a match on its own, but it does decide how your side looks under the floodlights. In EA Sports FC 27, the right strip helps your team stand out in Ultimate Team, in Clubs, and across a long Career Mode save, where a club keeps the same shirt for multiple seasons.
Quick answer: The most praised shirts this season are Arsenal’s Bruised Banana-inspired away kit, the Juventus and Real Madrid away kits, and Barcelona’s home kit. In Ultimate Team, you pull kits from packs or buy them directly on the market.
How to get kits in Ultimate Team and Career Mode
In Ultimate Team, kits are acquired through packs or by searching for a specific one on the market. Each shirt is graded as Bronze, Silver, or Gold, and the most wanted Gold kits can cost a few thousand coins. If a particular strip is the look you want, buying it outright is usually faster than opening packs.
Career Mode club selection should include the kit. Because it remains unchanged from one season to the next, that is the strip you’ll see throughout a lengthy save. The game offers a vast range, with over 800 clubs and national sides officially licensed.
Pick different colours for your home and away shirts so you always have a clean option to avoid a colour clash against similarly dressed opponents.
Standout shirts worth chasing first
A handful of shirts stand above the rest this season. Kit taste is personal, so treat these as the safest starting points rather than an absolute ranking.
Arsenal 2026/27 away kit leads the pack. It leans on the club’s classic 1990s Bruised Banana look, swapping the old oversized styling and gold palette for dark blue while keeping the bright stripes and retro patterning alive.
Juventus 2026/27 away kit revisits the club’s original colours, pairing a simple base with its recognizable zebra stripes. Real Madrid’s 2026/27 away kit reverses the home palette into a deep ivy shade with sharp contrast, which the club calls a bold expression of luxury and heritage.
Barcelona’s 2026/27 home kit adds a touch of light blue to the traditional Blaugrana stripes, giving the classic design more depth. Porto’s 2026/27 away kit rounds things out with a ruby tone inspired by the Rio Douro and the region’s wine, lifted by subtle striping.

National team kits and selection screens
Club shirts are only part of the picture. Dozens of men’s and women’s national teams carry their own selectable kits, each shown alongside team overall ratings for attack, midfield, and defence.
Scrolling through the roster shows the same layout for every nation, so you can preview a shirt and the squad’s rating before committing to it.
Beyond the shirts, each nation loads with a default starting XI and formation, so you can see how a squad lines up once you have settled on a kit.
Kit choice is one of the more personal calls you will make in FC 27, so treat these picks as a shortlist rather than a rulebook. Browse the full set for each club, pair a bold away or third shirt with a cleaner home strip, and settle on the look you will happily wear all season.
