VfB Stuttgart have revealed their new 2026-27 away kit, with JAKO delivering a striking red design that puts a fresh spin on one of the German club’s most recognisable shirt features. The VfB Stuttgart 2026-27 JAKO away shirt takes a predominantly red approach, complemented by a bold white horizontal chest band. The famous Stuttgart crest sits on the left side of the chest, complete with the gold star above, while the JAKO logo appears opposite. Main sponsor LBBW is positioned centrally across the white chest band in black, creating a strong contrast against the red base. Classic VfB Stuttgart Style With a Modern Twist While relatively simple from a distance, a closer look at the new Stuttgart away shirt reveals considerably more detail. JAKO have incorporated a subtle tonal pattern throughout the red fabric, giving the jersey additional texture without overpowering its traditional appearance. The pattern continues the wider Bad Cannstatt-inspired identity seen across Stuttgart’s 2026-27 kit collection. White detailing is used around the collar and sleeve cuffs, tying neatly into the prominent white band running across the front of the shirt. One particularly distinctive detail can be found inside the collar, where a vintage postcard-style graphic carries the words “Gruss aus Cannstatt”, translating to “Greetings from Cannstatt”. It provides another direct connection between the shirt and VfB Stuttgart’s home district. Stuttgart’s Famous Chest Band Reimagined The horizontal chest band – or Brustring – has been synonymous with VfB Stuttgart shirts for generations. For the 2026-27 away kit, the traditional concept is effectively reversed. Instead of the familiar red band appearing on a white home shirt, JAKO have placed a white band across a red jersey. It is a straightforward idea, but one that makes the away shirt instantly recognisable as Stuttgart while giving it a noticeably different appearance from the club’s home colours. The reverse remains predominantly red, with the player’s number appearing in white and STUTTGART positioned above it. VfB Stuttgart 2026-27 Kit Collection JAKO’s latest Stuttgart shirts form part of a wider collection celebrating the heritage and culture of Bad Cannstatt. The 2026-27 home shirt draws inspiration from the area’s famous mineral water springs, while the club’s gold third kit explores the early history of Bad Cannstatt. This red away shirt takes a cleaner and more traditional direction. Its combination of the reversed chest band, tonal fabric pattern and retro-inspired Cannstatt detailing gives Stuttgart another shirt with a strong connection to the club’s identity. For supporters who prefer more traditional football shirt designs, the VfB Stuttgart 2026-27 away kit could well prove to be one of the standout releases from the club this season.
