Danish sportswear brand hummel has announced the new match kits for Zweigen Kanazawa, which the team will wear during the 2026/27 Meiji Yasuda J3 League season. Inspired by 'Kaga Temari,' a traditional embroidered ball crafted in Kanazawa, Ishikawa Prefecture, the design reflects local heritage. The first release is limited to 700 units. Orders placed by July 5 will arrive before the league season begins. Growing Together with the Club In 2021, hummel's first year with the club, the kit design featured the club's symbolic logo.
