UA CAPTURES THE SOUL OF FC ST. PAULI IN NEW KIT DESIGNS

FC St. Pauli is known among footy fans as rebels. For those that support the Hamburg team, it’s more than just being connected to international punk acts like Rise Against, Gaslight Anthem and Sigur Rós. It’s a way of life.

 

That is why for the 2018-19 Bundesliga season, Under Armour and FC St. Pauli are revealing a new road and third jersey kit to encapsulate the strong, faithful passion and rich heritage FC St. Pauli supporters from around the world have come to know and love.

 

The rainbow tape stitched to the back neck of the home jersey is a consistent detail that remains present on all team kits this season. The universal symbol for diversity, not only captures the values within the club, but is a connecting element no matter what the club wears in every match. The new away jersey’s vertical brown and white stripes extend the traditional look of FC St. Pauli and build on the 2018-19 home jersey the club introduced during its U.S. tour in May. 

 

The team’s new third jersey might be different in color and style than the home and away jerseys, but it doesn’t veer from the tradition that was born in 2016 when UA and FCSP first teamed up – the third jersey for FC St. Pauli will always be black.

 

The consistent rainbow stripe on the back of every jersey represents the club's strong values toward diversity and inclusion.

UA designers took a slightly new approach to the skull and crossbones that fans have come to expect in the black kit. After a match, visiting designers took inspiration from the intimidating player tunnel at the club's home field, Millerntor Stadium. The design team opted to focus on the skull’s eye sockets on the front of the jersey to give opponents a glimpse "into the soul of a FC St. Pauli player." The all black kit will debut in St. Pauil's DFB Cup match against SV Wehen Wiesbaden on August 17.

 

The St. Pauli away and third jerseys are made from Under Armour HeatGear® material. Weighing just over 100 grams, the shirts are extremely light and feature the quick-drying Under Armour signature Moisture Transport System, ensuring sweat is wicked away from the skin to leave the wearer feeling comfortable and dry. Lightweight fabric with built-in four-way stretch improves mobility and accelerates drying time, while strategic ventilation built into the shirt at key points where the body releases the most heat allows for optimum coolness, even in the harshest weather conditions.

 

The new away and third shirt will be available for purchase on www.ua.com and all FC St. Pauli stores, August 3.
