Even before the start of the 2nd Bundesliga, Hamburger SV is once again making strange headlines.
HSV cannot wear the new jersey at the start of the season.
Munich - It has not yet been completed for a second in the 2nd Bundesliga * - but Hamburger SV * is already writing the most curious stories.
Before the season opener of the former Bundesliga dinosaur on Friday at FC Schalke *, HSV had an embarrassing jersey breakdown.
In addition to the usual HSV home outfit with white jerseys and red shorts, the Hamburg team recently received their new away jersey.
It's black and blue.
Not a big deal in and of itself.
It's just stupid that the new set was printed with the wrong shirt sponsor!
Hamburger SV: Embarrassing jersey breakdown!
HSV cannot wear a new dress at the season opener
Instead of “orthomol”, supplier Adidas delivered the jerseys with the old “Emirates” flock to HSV.
No problem for the first away games against Schalke (blue and white) and in the derby against FC St. Pauli (brown), because then you can wear your home kit.
On the 5th matchday (August 28th) HSV has to play at 1. FC Heidenheim, at the latest then you need the right away jerseys.
Allegedly, they should also be delivered by the supplier by then.
For the fans, however, this means that it will be September before the blue and black away jerseys of Hamburger SV will be available.

HSV is fighting to return to the Bundesliga * for the fourth year after the traditional club was relegated to the 2nd division for the first time.
Neither under Hannes Wolf nor under Dieter Hecking, Daniel Thioune or Horst Hrubesch, the Rothosen succeeded in advancing.
Now ex-FCB-II coach Tim Walter should make it.
After the strange news at the start, Hamburg is now hoping that the new coach and his team will only produce sporty and above all positive headlines. With HSV, FC Schalke and Werder Bremen, the 2nd league is particularly spectacular on paper.
