German third-division side Rot-Weiss Essen has revealed a commemorative shirt honoring the 70th anniversary of its 1955 German championship. The team will wear the special edition shirts during their home match against Hansa Rostock on Sunday, April 6, 2025, at 19:30.
RW Essen 24-25 German championship 70th anniversary Kit
This is the RW Essen 2024-2025 German championship 70th anniversary shirt, made by Jako.
The Jako RW Essen 24-25 German championship 70th-anniversary jersey, manufactured by Jako, features a design inspired by the original shirts worn during the club's greatest triumph.
In a notable gesture, Rot-Weiss Essen's main sponsors – ifm, Sparkasse Essen, and NEO.bet – have all agreed to remove their logos from the commemorative kit. This decision allows the design to more authentically recreate the clean look of the 1955 championship jersey, featuring the iconic red base with a distinctive white V-pattern across the chest.
A truly unique feature of the release is a limited edition version featuring the signatures of the 1955 championship-winning team printed on the back. Only 250 of these special collector's items will be available, creating a direct connection to the players who secured the 4-3 victory against Kaiserslautern in front of 76,000 spectators in Hannover on June 26, 1955.

Harrogate Town 26-27 Home Kit Released
Harrogate Town has officially revealed its new home kit for the 2026-2027 season. Produced by technical sponsor New Balance, the latest primary strip offers a bold and modern twist on the club's traditional yellow and black colors. Following the recent reveal of their striking geometric away jersey, this home release confirms that New Balance is committed to delivering highly bespoke and eye-catching designs for the North Yorkshire side's upcoming campaign.
The New Balance Harrogate Town 26-27 home shirt features a vibrant yellow base, anchored by thick black vertical stripes across the front of the torso. However, instead of traditional solid bands, these stripes are executed with a modern, pixelated halftone gradient effect that fades heavily around the midsection to seamlessly accommodate the black "envirovent" sponsor logo. To ensure a cohesive and sharp aesthetic, the New Balance manufacturer logo and the official club crest are both applied in a sleek black and yellow monochrome finish.
The launch completes the team's set for 2026-2027.
