Toluca FC's Apertura 2026 Home Jersey Remembers the Late '90s

There are still around 10 days left to the 2026 World Cup™ tournament, but New Balance Football has largely shifted gears to club competitions from across the globe, announcing new partnerships and revealing kits for the 2026-27 season. Most recently, the Boston-based brand has unveiled the Home jersey Mexico's Toluca FC will wear starting with Liga MX's Apertura 2026.

The 12-time domestic league champion has been wearing New Balance-branded and manufactured kits at the Estadio Nemesio Diez since July 2023. In that span of time, "Los Diablos Rojos" have added four major trophies to its cabinet—including back-to-back Liga MX Clausura and Liga MX Apertura titles in 2025; CONCACAF Champions Cup in May 2026; and Campeón de Campeones in July 2025. The Mexican club's "New Balance Era," then, has quickly gone down as highly-successful.

The Apertura 2026 Home shirt looks back to another fond time for Deportivo Toluca: 1998 and 1999.

Any savvy fan of "Los Choriceros" should instantly think about Toluca FC's primary red kits from Verano 1998 and Verano 1999—kits designed and manufactured by domestic brand Atletica. The new design's sporty, polo collar, boxy fit, and contrast piping along the body and sleeves look to capture a retro aesthetic that's not only "in" because of the unshakable "blokecore" trend, but also reminiscent of a high point for the Toluca-based football club.

New Balance's "NB" logo appears centered, underneath the neck line; the 12-star-decorated Deportivo Toluca crest sits just below the manufacturer's logo. Main sponsor logos also land on the center of the shirt's front, differing between men's and women's squads.

Enjoy a closer look at Toluca FC's new Home kit ahead. Gear should see a release through NewBalance.com soon.
