FC Augsburg have unveiled a 25/26 special edition Fourth Kit produced by Mizuno, created in collaboration with the Fugger family to honour Augsburg’s Renaissance heritage.
The new Augsburg 25/26 jersey is released in a linen coloured outfield version that references the Fugger family’s historic textile trade. A dark blue edition, inspired by the organ of the Fugger Chapel at St. Anna, serves as the accompanying goalkeeper shirt.
Both shirts carry an all over tonal pattern incorporating the Fugger lily crest, embossed across the fabric. The Augsburg crest is applied in a copper tone, matched by the Mizuno logo and main shirt sponsor WWK. Copper detailing references the Fugger family’s role in European copper trading during the 16th century.
A ribbed collar and sleeve cuffs feature multicoloured striping in pink, blue, yellow, burgundy and dark green, linking elements of Fugger heraldry with FC Augsburg club colours. “FUGGERSTADT” is positioned across the upper back in a Renaissance inspired typeface, replacing the standard club name. A Fugger emblem sits below the collar, while a golden appliqué near the hem nods to the Rhenish gulden referenced in the 1521 Fuggerei charter.
The new Augsburg football shirt is released as a limited special edition and will be paired with matching shorts and socks to form a full 4th kit for the Bundesliga fixture against 1. FC Köln.
