“That pays for Vieira”: HSV fans love the new shirt! | OneFootball

On Friday morning, HSV unveiled its away kit for the 2026/27 season – and it appears to have hit the bullseye with the fans.

After the new home kit had sparked plenty of discussion two weeks ago and had been judged by many supporters as a bit too unspectacular or even boring, the response to the new away shirt is now significantly more positive. Under HSV’s reveal post on X, numerous fans practically outdid themselves with praise.

The most-liked comment consisted of just one word: “Wow.” Another user summed up his opinion even more briefly: “So awesome.” One more fan was especially emphatic, and his reaction also received plenty of approval: “Holy shit, this is good.”

The new kit comes in a classic blue. The Rothosen also wear a white collar with black trim, while the sponsor logos and the three adidas stripes on the shoulders are kept in white. The overall very simple yet elegant design is inspired by an HSV shirt from the late 1970s.

HSV: Vieira signing thanks to the new away kit?

Some supporters took their enthusiasm a step further and linked it to one of this summer’s biggest transfer topics. “Fabio Vieira must be financed by this!”, one user wrote.

The background: HSV are still working persistently on a permanent deal for last season’s loanee. However, negotiations with Arsenal are proving complicated. The Gunners are demanding around €18 million, while HSV can and want to pay a maximum of €10 million. The outcome remains open.

Despite all the positive reactions to the new away kit, the fans were not in complete agreement. The collar design in particular sparked some discussion. One or two users couldn’t really warm to that detail. Others, meanwhile, pointed to the historical model. “The collar is simply a homage to the ’77 shirt and absolutely awesome,” one fan argued in response.
