FC Augsburg and Mizuno have released a breathtaking special edition kit for the 2025-26 season. Named the “Fuggerstadt” jersey, this exclusive release bridges the gap between modern football and the Renaissance era, paying homage to Augsburg’s rich history and the influential Fugger family.

Here is a breakdown of the standout design elements that make this kit a collector’s dream:

• Historic Color Palette: The primary outfield jersey features a crisp, linen-inspired cream base, which serves as a nod to the Fugger family’s historic textile trade. The matching goalkeeper kit is presented in a deep navy blue, drawing inspiration from the monumental Fugger Chapel at St. Anna.

• Copper Accents: The WWK Versicherungen sponsor logo, the Mizuno emblem, and the club crest are all finished in a sleek, metallic copper tone. This honors the Fugger family’s legacy in the raw materials trade during the 16th century.

• Jacquard Tapestry Pattern: An elegant, repeating pattern of the Fugger family coat of arms (the lily/pinecone motif) is subtly woven directly into the fabric, echoing traditional Renaissance weaving techniques rather than being applied as a simple print.

• St. Anne’s Church Details: The striking polo collar and sleeve cuffs pop with pastel pink, blue, yellow, and green stripes. These accents are pulled directly from the historic Fugger family colors and the beautiful ceiling frescoes of St. Anne’s burial chapel.

• Custom Typography: Instead of the standard club name, the word “FUGGERSTADT” sits proudly across the upper back. Additionally, the player numbers feature intricate, Renaissance-inspired damask and floral patterns housed within a custom typeface created specifically for this release.
This meticulously crafted collection is an incredible tribute to the city’s heritage and stands out as one of the most culturally significant kit designs of the season.
