👕 VfB set to unveil kit without sponsor, here’s what’s behind the move | OneFootball

VfB Stuttgart appears to be planning a special jersey for its first home game on the second matchday of the Bundesliga against Gladbach (August 30th), in celebration of the 100th anniversary of the chest ring. At least, that's what the ‘zvw’ – the Zeitungsverlag Waiblingen – is reporting.

According to the report, the white special jersey will not feature a shirt sponsor. The reason behind this: In August 1925, the club’s statutes stated that from then on, every department of the Swabians must wear uniform club colors – meaning a white jersey with a red chest ring.

That was 100 years ago and is now set to be celebrated accordingly. After all, it’s hard to imagine Stuttgart today without a jersey featuring the chest ring.

According to information from the ‘zvw’, the jersey will be kept entirely in white, with the radiant red chest ring as the focal point – completely without the logo of the current shirt sponsor LBBW. The Jako logo will be present, but only very subtly. The retro look will be completed by a single-color, white VfB crest.

According to the ‘zvw’, VfB will unveil the jersey a few days before the Gladbach match, so that fans still have enough time to secure the new club apparel.
