In celebrating finishing second in the 2023/24 Bundesliga season. VfB Stuttgart, one of Germany's historic football clubs and five times champions and German sportswear brand Jako have unveiled a striking new European home kit for the season to be worn in the club’s adventure into the 2024/25 Champions League. Here’s a closer look at the details that make this kit stand out.

White Base: A Classic Foundation

The foundation of the VfB Stuttgart European home kit is its clean, white base. This timeless colour choice is synonymous with the club's identity, maintaining a sense of continuity and tradition. The white base serves as a blank canvas that allows the other design elements to shine, emphasizing simplicity and elegance.

Red Horizontal Stripe

One of the most striking features of the kit is the bold red horizontal stripe that runs across the chest, decorated with a pattern derived from the club's crest and red pinstripes along the top and bottom. The shirt sponsor runs along the stripe in white. The red stripe provides a strong contrast against the white background, creating a visually dynamic look that is instantly recognisable. It not only adds a touch of vibrancy to the jersey but also serves as a powerful symbol of the club's passion and fighting spirit on the European stage.

Gold Accents: A Touch of Elegance

Adding a touch of sophistication to the kit, Jako has incorporated gold accents throughout the design. These subtle yet impactful details can be seen above the club crest, the Jako logo, the shirt numbers, and lastly a small circular badge containing the club crest and the words ‘WE ARE TEAM’. The gold elements elevate the overall look of the jersey, giving it a regal feel that aligns with the prestige of European competitions. The inclusion of gold accents reflects the club's ambition and desire to achieve greatness, both domestically and in Europe.

Polo Collar with Red Pinstripe: A Retro Twist

The kit’s polo collar with a red pinstripe is another standout feature that brings a retro twist to the modern design. The collar adds a layer of refinement and a classic football shirt feel, reminiscent of kits from previous decades. The red pinstripe detail on the collar not only complements the red chest stripe but also enhances the overall symmetry of the design. The pinstripe can also be seen on the cuffs of the kit. It adds a vintage charm that fans of all ages can appreciate, blending nostalgia with a fresh, contemporary look.

A Kit that Bridges the Past and Present

Jako has done an exceptional job in designing VfB Stuttgart's European home kit by balancing tradition with innovation. The white base, red horizontal stripe, gold accents, and polo collar with a red pinstripe come together harmoniously to create a kit that is both timeless and modern. This jersey is not just a piece of sportswear; it is a statement of the club's identity, pride, and aspirations.
