📸 All blue: Union Berlin unveil Brazil-inspired kit | OneFootball

Union Berlin unveiled this Saturday (12th) its third kit for the 2025/26 season with a special tribute to Brazil!

And the presentation of the new kit came with an even more Brazilian touch: Rio de Janeiro!

With the theme "from Copacabana to Köpenick," a neighborhood in southeast Berlin and home to Union, the kit also pays homage to one of the club’s great historical figures: Daniel Teixeira.

The Brazilian striker, affectionately nicknamed “Texas” by fans, made history in the German capital, wearing the same sky blue in one of the most challenging periods of his career.

Teixeira wore the Union Berlin shirt in two spells, both marked by goals! In total, he scored 67 goals in 78 matches.

In the 2000/01 season, he was a key player in the campaign that took the club to the 2. Bundesliga for the first time.

The team also reached the final of the DFB Pokal, the German Cup, that same year, played at the iconic Olympiastadion in the capital.

Five years later, in 2005, the scenario was different. Union had dropped to the fourth division and was facing serious financial difficulties. That’s when Daniel Teixeira returned to the club, determined to help.

Together with other legendary names, like Torsten Mattuschka, he was crucial in keeping Union’s spirit alive during tough times. The kit worn at that time, in sky blue, inspired the new third kit design, which revives the fighting spirit of that difficult period, so formative for Berlin’s identity.

The kit also brings a historic innovation: it will be the first to be worn by both the men’s and women’s teams, with the women making their Bundesliga debut in 2025/26. The sponsor will also be the same – the fintech Raisin – marking another step towards full integration between the club’s squads.
