Danish sports brand Hummel has announced JEF United Ichihara Chiba's 2026-27 season uniforms. Celebrating the 80th anniversary of the club's predecessor, Furukawa Electric Soccer Club, the 50th anniversary of its first JSL title, and the club's 35th anniversary, the design revives the historic 'Zebra Army' identity. The uniforms feature realistic zebra stripe patterns based on actual zebras from Chiba City Zoological Park: the Grevy's zebra 'Candy' for the yellow 1st uniform, and the Plains zebra 'Ruby' for the 2nd uniform. The 1st uniform uses a single JEF yellow color, while the 2nd uniform features a round neck and retro elements inspired by the 1976-77 JSL championship uniform. Pre-sales of the authentic FP 1st uniform (numbered 12) run from 13:00 on June 6 to June 28, 2026, on the club's online shop for 27,500 yen (tax included), with sizes ranging from S to XO3, and shipping is scheduled for late July.
