Almere City of the Eerste Divisie unveiled their cup competition-only kit for the 2026/27 season on the 14th local time. Based on the Hanazaka concept, the kit uses pink and mint green, with a cherry blossom design that immediately catches the eye. A Japanese-language announcement video was also posted on the official X account. The eye-catching design was presented as a special kit symbolising the club's strong ties with Japan.
The background includes Yanmar, the parent company of Cerezo Osaka and holder of the naming rights to Almere City's home ground, acquiring Almere City in July 2025, as well as the fact that Takahashi Niko (髙橋仁胡) had been on loan at the club since early 2026. Almere City and Cerezo are sister clubs. The news focuses on the new cup competition-only kit and the club's exchange with Japan.
The club described the kit via its official X account as a special uniform symbolising its ties with Japan and released a Japanese-language announcement video for the new kit. Attention will now turn to the players wearing the design in Dutch cup competitions.
