Macron Karlsruhe 2022-23 third shirt. Same as last season. The design is inspired by the colors of Baden-Würtemberg, culminating in a unique red sash on the front.

AAAGGGHHHH!!!! 😂

You have just committed one of the worst possible insults - the colours are inspired by the former state of Baden, which doesn’t exist anymore, it was incorporated into the new state of Baden-Württemberg (after WWII the area was under American control until 1952, when the new state was founded).

Baden, of which Karlsruhe was a major city, had its colours as red and yellow. Hence the shirt above.

Württemberg, a separate state, centred on the city of Stuttgart, had black and red as its colours. The combined state (since 1952) uses a yellow and black flag, to represent both former states.

Incidentally, the old black and red Württemberg colours are still seen today, on the badge of every Porsche (as that famous company was founded in Stuttgart, and as well as the black and red, the Porsche badge is basically the old Weimar Republic-era coat of arms of Württemberg, with „Stuttgart“ plastered across the middle, just in case you forget where Porsches come from).

Even today, local animosities between Baden and Württemberg play out, especially when VfB Stuttgart plays Karlsruhe SC (which hasn’t been often lately, because KSC have been shit for years).

Anyway, nice shirt, but as a VfB-fan, I have to say „f*** KSC!“

My missus is from just outside Freiburg so we visit a lot. You still see Baden flags and colours everywhere and everyone is less than complimentary about their neighbours to the north in Württemberg. At SC Freiburg matches, “Das Badnerlied” (the old anthem) is sung pre-match.

We’re away at VfB in August, unfortunately on the day I head back to the UK. Hoping to see us play BVB the weekend before at home though.

You are not wrong there. Games against Freiburg are always tasty affairs; I’ll be there in August at the Mercedes-Benz Arena for the next installmeant though!

Thanks Strummer :)

Lessons learnt:
1. Never blindly copy factual text from another website without first obtaining corroboration.
2. Unlike the below, facts do matter (exceptions: USA, Russia, politicians and so on).

I'd rather us to stay without a sponsor if we have to have something like that crap.

Personally I can't get past the glued on club badge on that Blackburn shirt - for my taste a club badge needs to be embroidered otherwise it looks cheap and nasty and spoils the (otherwise very smart) shirt.

And also wears off after time.

I have one of the Football Index shirts from a few seasons ago and the badge has all but peeled off.

One of the reasons I love that black / gold adidas kit we had is it’s all embroidered and has no sponsor. It will last forever.

I’ll normally fork out extra on footy tops where that’s the case because I know they’ll last so long.

Nike Template committing another crime against individuality for the spuds away, just £115 as well, no Premier league badges included but two sponsors at least!

That is an absolute shocker. It looks more like a cycling jersey than a football shirt.
