In celebration of their 125th anniversary, 1. FC Nürnberg has released a special edition kit that pays homage to the club’s rich history. The design, inspired by early 20th-century aesthetics, reflects the club’s enduring legacy in German football as one of the most traditional clubs in the country.
A Tribute to Tradition: The 125-Year Anniversary Kit
Released on April 29, 2025, the Adidas-designed 125th-anniversary jersey is a stunning tribute to 1. FC Nürnberg’s long and storied past. The shirt features bold claret and off-white vertical stripes, a nod to the club’s early kits from the 1900s. Gold detailing elevates the look — from the retro Trefoil Adidas logo to the laurel wreath encircling the years “1900–2025” beneath the club crest. The number “125” is embeds into the badge, giving the shirt a commemorative elegance. Classic touches like a ribbed crew neck and striped sleeve cuffs in gold and white complete the vintage aesthetic. Black shorts and socks round out the kit, ensuring a sleek, cohesive matchday appearance. Not just for collectors, this kit has been well-received by fans for blending heritage with modern class. It’s a celebration in fabric — one that proudly reminds everyone just how deep Nürnberg’s football roots run.
The limited edition kit is available on the official 1. FC Nürnberg online shop.
The Legacy of 1. FC Nürnberg
Founded in 1900, 1. FC Nürnberg affectionately known as “Der Club”, is one of Germany’s most historic and decorated football institutions. The team dominated German football in the early 20th century, winning nine national championships and building a reputation as a powerhouse. Their golden era in the 1920s saw them set standards in both style and success. Max Morlock, arguably the club’s most iconic player, scored over 290 goals and was a key figure in Germany’s 1954 World Cup win. Other legends include Andreas Köpke, one of Germany’s greatest goalkeepers, and Dieter Eckstein, a fan favorite of the 1980s.
Today, Nürnberg competes in the 2. Bundesliga and remains a club deeply rooted in tradition, supported by one of the most loyal fanbases in the country. Under the leadership of head coach and Germany’s former formidable striker Miroslav Klose, the team is focused on rebuilding with young talent and a clear long-term vision. While the glory days of the top flight may be in the past, the anniversary kit serves as a powerful symbol — reminding everyone that “Der Club’s” heart still beats strong, and the story isn’t over yet.
