Wehen Wiesbaden 26-27 Away Kit Released
Italian sportswear brand Erreà has officially unveiled the new SV Wehen Wiesbaden away kit for the upcoming 2026-2027 season. Fans will not have to wait long to see the new uniform in action, as the kit is scheduled to make its official on-pitch debut on May 23 during the Hessenpokal Final against SG Barockstadt Fulda-Lehnerz.
The Erreà SV Wehen Wiesbaden 26-27 away shirt is built upon a white base, elevated by an intricate, custom jacquard fabric. This subtle, tonal graphic incorporates two key elements deeply tied to the club's history: the lion of Taunusstein and the lilies of Wiesbaden. By merging these two symbols, the design creates a seamless visual bridge between the club's geographical origins and its current home. Sharp anthracite grey inserts provide a strong contrast to the white background, perfectly matching the sleek, monochrome execution of the club crest on the left breast.
The back of the outer collar displays the founding year "1926" embroidered in gold, serving as an early nod to the club's fast-approaching centenary celebrations. Meanwhile, the inner neckline is inscribed with the phrase "From Halberg to the Rhine," adding a hidden touch of local pride specifically for the players and supporters wearing the shirt.
What do you think of this culturally inspired away design for SV Wehen Wiesbaden? Let us know in the comments below.
