Hertha BSC to Revise New Jersey Design Following DFL Request
German football club Hertha BSC has announced plans to revise the design of their new home jersey before their second matchday, scheduled for August 10th against Karlsruher SC. The decision comes following a request from the German Football League (DFL) for improvements to the jersey design.
The controversy surrounding the original design, as reported by various sources, has not been explicitly detailed. However, it is common for the DFL to enforce regulations on jersey design to ensure compliance with league rules, such as sponsor placements, visibility of numbers and names, and avoiding potentially offensive or controversial symbols.
The initial design of the Hertha BSC jersey featured stripes only on the front, a departure from the club's traditional striped pattern on both the front and back. This inconsistency has led to the back of the new Berlin jersey lacking the pattern that adorns the front.
In response to the DFL's request, Hertha BSC has decided to change the design ahead of schedule, likely for the first home game. The new design will ensure that the stripes are visible on both the front and back of the jersey, restoring the club's traditional look.
The exact timeline for the unveiling of the new design and the implementation of the changes remains unclear, with no new deadlines issued by the DFL. Nonetheless, Hertha BSC is preparing for the new season in the 2nd Bundesliga and is determined to present a revised jersey design that meets the DFL's requirements.
Despite the jersey design issue, Hertha BSC's ultras group has been actively involved in a charity campaign, as reported by some search results. However, no direct reference to the jersey design issue or intervention by the DFL was found in these search results.
As the situation develops, more details about the reasons behind the DFL's request and the specific changes required may become available. For now, fans and supporters of Hertha BSC can look forward to a revised jersey design that restores the club's traditional striped pattern for the upcoming season.
The German Football League (DFL) requested improvements on Hertha BSC's new jersey design, as the original design deviated from the club's traditional striped pattern on both the front and back. In an effort to comply with league rules, Hertha BSC plans to revise the design, ensuring that both the front and back of the new jersey will display the club's trademark stripes. This update will likely be showcased in the club's first home game, bringing European football leagues one step closer to witnessing a revamped Hertha BSC jersey.
