Featuring a chest band and convertible collar: the 2026/27 away jersey.
The "Lilies'" matchday attire for away games has been finalised: SV Darmstadt 98 will take the field in the new season wearing away jerseys made of cream-colored mesh fabric, incorporating design elements from the home shirt.
A defining feature of the jersey—developed in collaboration with supplier CRAFT—is the royal-blue chest band, which incorporates the same jacquard pattern found on the home shirt. This ensures that the „Lilies“ from various eras of the club’s history are represented on the away kit as well, creating a visual link to the home jersey. As with the home shirt, the embroidered Lily and the supplier’s logo are positioned centrally above the chest band.

A special detail is the fold-down collar. The collar can be worn either up or folded down, combining sporty functionality with a classic polo shirt look. Just like the home jersey, a long-sleeved version of the away jersey is available this season. The new away jersey is already available for fans: online as well as in the Fanshops.
The away jersey is available for €84.98 (adults) and €59.98 (children). A long-sleeved version for adults is also available for €94.98.
The jersey will make its debut tomorrow, Saturday (August 1st), during the Lilien’s friendly match against Portsmouth FC.
