German clubs release 2026/27 kits amid Nike’s upcoming DFB switch
Dynamo Dresden unveiled a retro‑styled kit for the 2026/27 season, featuring gold striping and a design that references the club’s 1991/92 Bundesliga run. The jersey costs about €90 and will debut in a test match in Bautzen.
SC Paderborn 07 presented a limited‑edition home shirt for the upcoming Bundesliga campaign. Produced by hummel, the black‑and‑blue kit displays the city’s Three‑Hare window motif and will be sold later as a regular version after the limited run sells out.
Mainz 05’s new Jako kit was leaked, showing the club’s traditional red base with white detailing and a diagonal diamond‑pattern that incorporates the club logo, the letter “M”, the number “05” and the historic “Mainzer Rad”.
In parallel, Nike launched a guerrilla‑marketing stunt on the Hudson River ahead of the German national team’s switch from Adidas to Nike as official supplier in 2027, ending a more than 70‑year partnership. Adidas confirms it will remain the DFB’s kit maker only until the end of the year, while Nike touts a prospective €100 million‑a‑year deal.
