Stuttgart Fans Protest Against Special Kit
Stuttgart's loyal fan base, particularly the Commando Cannstatt, have raised their voice in protest against the recently released special edition "StuttgART" jersey.
Stuttgart Fans Critize Special Jersey For High Price and Design Without Traditional Club Elements
Thanks to Sport1 for the picture.
Priced at a hefty €189.30 and limited to 1893 pieces, both a nod to the club's founding year (1893), the jersey was designed by a local artist but has faced strong opposition from passionate supporters. The special jersey is lacking the iconic chest ring and the club's red color.
What does this ugly and expensive shit have to do with a VfB jersey?
During the home match against Bremen, where VfB players donned the controversial jersey, fans visually expressed their dissatisfaction.
The banner of the fans read "Was hat diese hässliche und teure Scheiße mit einem VfB-Trikot zu tun?". It translates to "What does this ugly and expensive shit have to do with a VfB jersey?".
