Austrian club SK Rapid Wien have unveiled their new 2025-2026 home kit, dubbed "Arbeitswäsch'" (Workwear), in a novel early reveal. Instead of waiting for the pre-season, the team will debut the new strip in their upcoming and final Meistergruppe home match on Sunday.

Rapid Wien 25-26 Home Kit

This is the SK Rapid Wien 2025-2026 home shirt, made by Puma.

The Puma Rapid Wien 2025-26 shirt SK Rapid Wien 25-26 home jersey, created in collaboration with kit suppliers Puma and retailer 11teamsports, sees a return to one of the club's most historically worn patterns: green and white longitudinal stripes, now combined with subtle pinstripe elements.

This striped design is a nod to the popular kits from Rapid's past, notably the Diadora designs worn from 1996 to 1998, which are among the best-selling jerseys in the club's history. The new iteration aims to blend this classic look with modern touches.

"Backbone of the City, Backbone of the Club!"

The launch is accompanied by the motto "Backbone of the city, backbone of the club!" and a powerful presentation video. The video features everyday people who live and work in Vienna, shaping the city often behind the scenes, showcasing the new green and white outfit in their daily lives. Voiceover for the video is provided by well-known Vienna-born actor Nicholas Ofczarek.

Steffen Hofmann, Managing Director of SK Rapid, expressed his delight with the new jersey: "Through very professional and creative collaboration between our suppliers and our staff, we have succeeded in designing a beautiful jersey. I hope our fans like it as much as I do and that our teams will also cut a fine figure in it athletically. Personally, I have always particularly liked longitudinally striped Rapid jerseys; one version also accompanied us to unforgettable sporting successes two decades ago."
