Check out Macron's Hannover 96 2022-2023 special shirt below.

The Macron Hannover 96 2022-23 special shirt is almost all in black aside from the crest and logos which are just a shade lighter. Black has always been one of Hannover's main color aside from green and white, so they are keen on releasing a special all-black kit this season, especially with the high demands from fans.

Indeed, it is practically the same as BVB's 2019-2020 special kit...

"On the one hand, it is obviously important for us to transport the club’s DNA, but on the other hand, it is also important to take into account the input of our fans. We spoke to a lot of people around the club and it became clear that an all-black design was high on their wish list," Says Pascal Helle, Hannover's Head of Merchandising and Licensing

The Macron Hannover 96 2022-23 special football shirt is being made in a limited edition as only 1’896 will be released on the market, marking the year the club were founded. There will be special numbering from 1 to 1’896 on the neck label of each jersey, making it more special and unique.

Being a special edition, the demand for the all-black jersey is very high as Hannover claim that they already had 1000 shirts being ordered after just two hours after the announcement. The club and Macron also warned that they are not planning to do any reordering for the special kit.

The Macron Hannover 96 22-23 special football shirt actually has slight similarities with Hannover's away kit for the 2021/22 season which was also made mainly black. However, there's a clear difference in the design and additional colors as last season's away jersey also uses green and white for the detailing in logos and collar.

Aside from Macron, Brain House 247 logos, and the club's crest, the special jersey will also have the Travnik as the sleeve sponsor along with the Bundesliga patch. Completing the all-black look for the jersey, the shorts of the Hannover 96 2022-2023 special kit are also black.

Hannover are only planning to wear the all-black kit in one game for this season, against Hansa Rostock at the Heinz von Heiden Arena on March 12, 2023. The special jersey is already available for order at Macron's online shop and retails at £67.99.
