Leaked: HSV 16-17 Kits to Split Fans' Opinions
- Home Kit: The 2016-2017 home kit will feature a return to red as the secondary color, with blue details in the collar and "Nur der HSV" lettering on the back.
- Away Kit: The 2016-2017 away kit will be a "shock pink" color with white applications, inspired by the 1976-77 away kit.
- Third Kit: The 2015-2016 third kit will be carried over for the 2016-2017 season.
In May 2016, Adidas will reveal the all-new Hamburger SV 2016-2017 Kits. And while the German club will carry over their light blue and white away jersey and receive a classic home kit, the new Hamburger SV 16-17 Away Kit is sure to cause debate amongst supporters.
Hamburger SV 16-17 Home Kit Info
This image shows the colors of the new Hamburger SV 2016-17 Home Shirt, which is again made by Adidas.
While last season's HSV home kit combined the traditional main color white with blue applications and red details, the new Hamburger SV 2016-17 Home Kit will return to red as secondary color. And whereas many previous HSV Home Kits often combined the respective secondary color either with blue or red as third color, the new HSV 2016-17 Home Kit is expected to feature blue details within the collar only. On the back under the collar will be the lettering "Nur der HSV".
In fact, the new Hamburger SV 2016-17 Home Shirt follows a similar approach as the HSV 125-years anniversary it, which just featured the colors white and red. HSV's 16-17 Home Kit will also use the new positioning of the Three Stripes on the side of the shirt, which is used for almost all Adidas Euro 2016 Kits.
Red shorts with white applications and white socks will complete the new HSV Strip.
Hamburger SV 16-17 Away Kit Info
This image shows the colors of the pink Hamburger SV 2016-17 Away Strip.
Drawing inspiration from the infamous pink Hamburger SV 1976-77 Away Kit, the new HSV 16-17 Away Jersey will boast the bold main color 'Shock Pink'. Adidas will combine the extraordinary main color with white applications. The original kit was combined with a dark blue collar and dark blue Three Stripes.
The shorts and socks of the new HSV 16-17 Away Kit will be dark navy ('Night Sky'), similar to the pink uniform released almost 40 years ago.
Hamburg's 15-16 Third Kit will be carried over.

Adidas & Kith Tease Special Messi 2026 World Cup Kit Collection
Ronnie Fieg, the founder and owner of the prominent fashion and streetwear brand Kith, has officially teased a new Adidas kit collection dedicated to Lionel Messi ahead of the 2026 World Cup.
The Adidas x Kith Messi kit collection is shaping up to be a massive tribute. Given that the 2026 World Cup will in all likelihood be Messi's final tournament as a player, the Three Stripes are going all out to honor their greatest player of all time.
Thus far, Fieg has previewed a rack of stunning co-branded jerseys. The standout of the teaser is a remake of the Argentina 2006 home kit - the exact template worn during the year of Messi's very first World Cup appearance.
Ronnie Fieg also reveals three additional bespoke shirts in dark navy, off-white/cream, and black.
Stunning Fortuna Köln 2026 Regional Cup Final Kit Released
German side SC Fortuna Köln has released a highly limited special-edition kit to wear during their upcoming 2026 Mittelrheinpokal final. Produced by Dutch sportswear brand Robey, this exclusive release celebrates the club's first appearance in the regional cup final in six years, as they look to secure the trophy for the first time in 13 years.
The Robey SC Fortuna Köln 2026 Cup Final shirt introduces a striking tri-color gradient design that provides a highly bespoke look for the occasion. The top of the jersey begins in a deep navy blue, smoothly fading into a vibrant light blue chest band before transitioning into a clean white lower half.
Adding a premium, historic touch to the kit, all application details - including the Robey manufacturer branding, the central 'HIT' sponsor, and a classic standalone 'F' retro crest - are executed in metallic gold. A subtle light blue V-neck collar and matching sleeve cuffs complete the sophisticated aesthetic.
Priced at €75, this exclusive release serves as a unique collector's item for supporters of the Regionalliga West side. Curiously, while releasing this kit, the club has actively pushed an "All in Red" (Alle in Rot) motto for the fans attending the match, asking supporters to create a sea of red in the stands despite the team wearing their special-edition colors on the pitch.
What are your thoughts on this striking gradient Cup Final kit by Robey? Let us know in the comments below.
Aston Villa to Wear Third Kit with Charity Sponsor in Europa League Final
Aston Villa has officially confirmed they will wear their 2025-2026 Adidas third kit for the upcoming UEFA Europa League Final against SC Freiburg in Istanbul.
The decision was made due to a direct kit clash with the German side's traditional all-red home strip, forcing the Premier League club out of their iconic claret and blue. Furthermore, due to strict betting licensing regulations in Turkey, the club's principal partner, Betano, cannot be legally displayed on the jerseys. In response, the space is used by the Aston Villa Foundation for the historic showpiece event.
This special-edition jersey also features the Aston Villa Foundation branding across the chest in matching purple typography, sitting just below a commemorative Match ID text that marks the May 20 final at Besiktas Park.
Recognizing the historical significance of this unique uniform, the club is making the charity edition available to the public. Supporters can purchase these limited-edition shirts, complete with the foundation branding and central match details, in both authentic and replica versions from official club stores.
This rare combination of an alternate kit, a one-off charity sponsor, and European final detailing instantly makes this release a highly sought-after piece for shirt collectors.
