LEGACY INGRAINED: THE NEW WATFORD FC 26/27 THIRD KIT

KELME and Watford FC present the new third kit for the 2026/27 season: a light grey design that revives the iconic Happy Hornet, featured on some of the club's most emblematic shirts during the 70s.
Inspired by Watford and its Latin motto “Audentior” —“with greater daring”—, the shirt subtly incorporates various elements from the city's coat of arms: St. Alban's cross, Hertfordshire's stag horns, the scallop shells of the Earl of Clarendon, and its three rivers.
The red and black details on the collar and sleeves keep the Hornets' identity alive, while the woven jacquard pattern adds texture, depth, and a premium finish.
Made from recycled polyester, the new kit combines history, performance, and KELME's commitment to sustainable production. The kit is completed with grey shorts and socks.
Watford's history, woven into every detail.
