Mizuno took over from Nike as Hansa's official kit maker at the start of the 2023-2024 campaign. After three years of providing highly customized, bespoke jerseys for the men's, women's, and youth teams, the partnership will come to an amicable close.
Ronald Maul, CEO of Hansa Rostock, praised the brand for their collaboration: "We would like to thank Mizuno for their partnership, the high-quality equipment, and the professional implementation of our kit designs over the past few years. We part ways in a friendly and respectful manner."
It currently remains a secret who will be making the club's kits next season. Hansa Rostock stated that they will announce their future equipment plans and new kit supplier "in due course."
