Plateau United have unveiled their new third kit for the 2026/27 season, with the striking design paying tribute to the rich cultural heritage and diversity of Plateau State.
The predominantly black kit features a vibrant burst of colours, with the club explaining that the design was inspired by the different cultures, identities and traditions that make Plateau State unique.
The new strip goes beyond a traditional football jersey, serving as a celebration of the people and communities that the Jos-based club represents.
According to Plateau United, the colourful elements incorporated into the black design symbolise the state’s diverse tribes and cultural heritage, while reinforcing the club’s connection with its supporters and home.
The unveiling comes as the club prepares for the 2026/27 football season, with the new third strip set to provide another option for the team alongside its home and away kits.
The club’s decision to draw inspiration from Plateau’s cultural identity also reflects the growing trend of Nigerian football clubs using kit designs to showcase their history, communities and local heritage.
For Plateau United, the new third kit represents more than just a change of colours, it is a statement of identity and a celebration of the diversity that defines the state.
With the 2026/27 campaign approaching, the new strip is expected to become a distinctive part of Plateau United’s visual identity as the club enters another season of Nigerian football.
