New look returns to familiar colours
Stockport County have unveiled their away kit for the 2026–27 season, a sleek black ensemble produced by Puma that reintroduces black as the main away colour for the first time since 2008–09. The club presented the strip on 25 July 2026, completing their two-kit release cycle following the earlier launch of the home shirt.
Design details and heritage touches
The shirt features a black base with silver detailing and precision-cut shoulder and side panels. A vintage crest from the late 1970s to 1989 era has been brought back to the shirt, with the club's founding year highlighted in raised silver embossing.
"the pinnacle of matchday elegance"
The silver Puma logo and sponsor branding match the crest’s finish, and the kit is completed by black shorts and socks for a monochrome look.
- Manufacturer: Puma
- Main colour: Black with silver accents
- Heritage crest: Classic 1978–1989 design with "1883" embossed

What the change means locally
For supporters in Stockport, the return to black may be a welcome nod to the club's past. Matchday and replica shirts are visible around town, from family outings to local pubs and on public transport to Edgeley Park. A striking away kit can boost merchandise sales and give fans a fresh way to show allegiance in the coming season in EFL League One.
