Jul 22, 2020, by Chris
The F95 20-21 home kit was released earlier today. Made by Uhlsport and sponsored by Henkel, it will be worn in the new 2. Bundesliga season.
Fortuna Düsseldorf's 20-21 home kit has been co-designed by the members for the first time in the F95 history and therefore appears under the motto "Your home jersey". In the past few days, the individual design elements and finally the complete jersey were unveiled on a special website.
Fortuna Düsseldorf Uhlsport 2020-21 Home Kit
This is the new Uhlsport Fortuna Düsseldorf home shirt for 2020-21.
After last season's home kit was white, new the Uhlsport Fortuna Düsseldorf 20-21 home shirt is red, as wanted by fans.
In the F95 app, members could answer seven questions and vote on what their home jersey for the 2020/21 season should look like. Approximately 12,500 votes were collected. The members decided on the basic colour red. The shirt has a dark red tint in the upper chest area. Sleeve cuffs, shoulders and the V-neck, for which the members also voted, are set off in white. Trousers and socks are again in red.
Düsseldorf is the core value of the jersey, the city coat of arms is the thematic hanger. This can be seen in a stylized form as a repeat on the front, where small city coats of arms are incorporated tone-in-tone into the fabric. In addition, it also appears in the neck area and inside the jersey together with its heraldic description, the so-called blazoning.
The writing "Heimat F95" decorates the inside of the collar. The Fortuna club emblem on the chest is woven and embroidered. The back of the Uhlsport F95 20-21 home jersey is made of a breathable mesh fabric.
Red / white shorts and socks round off the look of the new F95 2020-2021 kit by Uhlsport.
F95's new 2020-21 home strip is available since July 22, retailing at 77,55 Euro.
"Fortuna is an integral part of the city of Düsseldorf - and thus a piece of home for the numerous fans who always remain loyal to us and support us passionately in both successful and difficult times," says Marketing Director Christian Koke. "It was very important for us to involve the members in the design of the new home jersey and thus make it their jersey. We think it's great that so many have taken part and thank our supplier uhlsport for the opportunity to let the members participate in this way.
Melanie Steinhilber, managing director of uhlsport GmbH, adds: "Fortuna Düsseldorf is a very special club that seeks proximity to its fans and cultivates them in a unique way. The opportunity to help design the new home jersey via fan voting in the Fortuna app is a strong sign of this. Innovative approaches to involving and activating fans have always been in keeping with uhlsport's philosophy and we are delighted to have designed the new home jersey as a joint process in keeping with the core value of home".

Nottingham Forest Women Wear Training Tops vs Southampton to Avoid Color Blindness Clash
In an unusual kit occurrence, Nottingham Forest Women took to the pitch wearing training tops instead of their official 26-27 away kit during their match against Southampton Women at St Mary's Stadium on Sunday. The late switch was implemented specifically to avoid color blindness visibility issues that would have arisen from a red-versus-green clash. Huge thanks to @david_g_cooper for the spot.
With Southampton wearing their traditional red-and-white home kit, Nottingham Forest's primary alternative option - their green 26-27 away shirt - posed a serious dilemma. Red and green kit pairings are strictly discouraged by governing bodies and accessibility guidelines because they become indistinguishable to individuals with red-green color vision deficiency, which affects roughly 8% of men and 0.5% of women.
Since Nottingham Forest's home shirt is also red, the club resorted to dark training gear with match numbers applied on the back to provide adequate contrast for players, referees, and spectators.
Forest could have worn their light blue kit, but apparently they did not bring it.

The shoe features mismatched accents of dockland-inspired 'Rust Factor' orange alongside 'Steam' green referencing the city's Liver Birds, complemented by a reflective brick pattern, a River Mersey map printed across the insole, a custom 'Liverpool' tongue badge, and 'SCOUSE' lettering visible beneath the outsole.
