With V-neck and club logo – the new away jersey of SV 98
The style and history of the home jersey have been retained, yet the design has been enhanced with its own unique touches. This phrase sums up the Lilies' away jersey for the 2025/26 season. The traditionally white jersey features striking details that lend it a unique personality.
The away kit also features ornaments from the Art Nouveau and Gothic periods, which were incorporated into the jersey using an embossing process. Unlike the home jersey, this design is also found on the sleeves of the away jersey.
Particularly striking on the chest is the high-quality embroidered crest of SV Darmstadt 98, which appears on the jersey for the first time in many years instead of the stylized fleur-de-lis. Another distinguishing feature is the neck area. Instead of a collar, the away jersey, produced by CRAFT, features a V-neck. The neck and sleeve cuffs feature a blue and white striped pattern.
The back, however, continues to feature the „Darmstadt“ lettering in Art Nouveau typography, with a stylized church window with the club abbreviation „svd98“ above it. The jersey, which impresses with its breathable fabric and high level of comfort, is now available online and in fan shops. The Lilies‘ professional team will wear the jersey during a training session as part of the season opening that evening at the Merck Stadium at Böllenfalltor.

„The referee decided the game today.“
After 13 unbeaten second-division matches, SV Darmstadt 98 suffered their first defeat this Friday evening. Three unfortunate minutes just before halftime, during which Patric Pfeiffer was sent off and Vincent Vermeij scored twice, paved the way for Dresden's victory. After the match, the focus was primarily on the differing assessments of two very similar incidents by the refereeing team – incidents which both coaches subsequently evaluated identically.
Undefeated streak ends
For the first time since October, Darmstadt 98 finished a league match without any points: SV 98 lost 3-1 (2-0) to SG Dynamo Dresden. After a controversial red card against Patric Pfeiffer (42nd minute), the home side scored two goals in first-half stoppage time to secure the victory.
