SV Darmstadt 98 has officially released its new home kit for the 2025-26 season under the motto "Vereint in Stil und Geschichte" (United in style and history). Darmstadt 98's new 2025-2026 home kit is a blend of tradition, culture, and art, drawing deep inspiration from Darmstadt's architectural history.
The new Darmstadt 25-26 home uniform will make its debut on Wednesday, July 9th, in a friendly match against the historic English club Notts County.
Darmstadt 25-26 Home Kit
This is the new Craft Darmstadt home jersey for 2025-2026.
The Craft SV Darmstadt 98 2025-2026 home football shirt is presented in classic "Lilienblau" (lily blue) and is heavily influenced by Art Nouveau (Jugendstil) and Gothic art styles, both prominent in Darmstadt's history.
The defining feature of the Craft Darmstadt 2025-26 home jersey is a fine, embossed ornamental pattern that covers the entire front and back. This intricate pattern combines stylized elements that symbolically represent both the city of Darmstadt and the club. From the city's architecture, the design incorporates the landmark Wedding Tower (Hochzeitsturm) and the characteristic window of the city's "founding church." Club symbols include the iconic lily and the crests of the two predecessor clubs, FK Olympia and Darmstädter SC 1905.
The collar and sleeve cuffs feature a blue and white striped pattern. An embroidered white lily sits on the chest. On the back, the "Darmstadt" lettering is written in a distinctive Art Nouveau typography. Above it is a stylized church window graphic containing the abbreviation "svd98".
To maintain a clean blue-and-white-only aesthetic, main partner HAIX and sleeve partner Suzuki have adapted their logos, with HAIX appearing as a negative version and Suzuki removing other colors.
The Craft Darmstadt 98 2025-26 home jersey is available since July 8, retailing at €84.98.
