Cruz Azul has unveiled its official 2026 Apertura kits, a key detail for a season where the team aims for back-to-back Liga MX titles (33 points, 3rd place, 9 wins in 17 games). The designs, available now, feature historical badges in relief and official prices of 1,950 MXN for men’s and 1,699 MXN for women’s versions. The next test is August 9 against New York City FC at home.
What changes do the new designs bring?
The home kit keeps the traditional blue-and-white colors but adds a white polo-style collar with a blue stripe. The standout feature is the historical Cruz Azul badges in raised relief, scattered across the jersey. The away kit is predominantly white with celeste accents, including a darker blue for sponsors to create contrast. Both designs retain the club’s essence with a modern twist.
Why do these details matter?
The kit is more than just a uniform-it’s identity. Cruz Azul, with 31 goals scored and a +13 goal difference this season, is betting on a design that honors its legacy while chasing the title behind Pumas (36 points). The raised badges aren’t just nostalgia; they signal a campaign for the championship.
Where and how much do they cost?
The jerseys are sold through Cruz Azul’s official store and Pirma, priced at 1,950 MXN for men and 1,699 MXN for women. The team, currently leading Group 3 with 9 wins in 17 matches, is gearing up for the August 9 clash against New York City FC at the Estadio Azteca. Fans can buy the official designs starting today.
What’s next for Cruz Azul?
With 3 points behind Pumas and a recent run of W-D-W-D-W, the team faces a tough Apertura. The new kit isn’t just symbolism-it’s a rallying point for supporters. The next challenge will be sustaining their offensive form (31 goals in 17 games) and closing the gap with the leaders. Details like the relief badges reinforce that identity in a decisive campaign.
