Hannover 96 and Macron have unveiled the new 2026/27 Third Kit that the Roten will wear throughout the upcoming 2. Bundesliga season. A game set with an elegant aesthetic and contemporary character, it draws inspiration from one of the city’s most iconic landmarks: the dome of the Neues Rathaus (New Town Hall). Its distinctive shape and unmistakable verdigris hue become the defining elements of a shirt that reflects the deep bond between the club and its local area.
The new Hannover 96 2026/27 Third shirt is presented in a refined off-white colourway, featuring a knitted polo collar finished with a fine verdigris stripe, a detail echoed on the sleeve cuffs. Both the front and back of the shirt are characterised by a delicate pattern of slightly irregular, shaded vertical stripes that gradually become wider towards the centre of the garment. Created using sublimation printing, this graphic recalls the distinctive oxidised green colour of the dome of the Neues Rathaus. Opened in 1913, the ‘New Town Hall’ is one of the most iconic buildings in the capital of Lower Saxony, with its dome rising almost 98 metres high. Having remained largely untouched during the bombing of the Second World War, it continues to stand today as one of the city’s most recognisable architectural symbols.
The chest features the black Macron Hero and the Hannover 96 crest, both applied in silicone print. The internal backneck, identical to those featured on the Home and Away versions, is customised with the club logo, also incorporated into the label background, the motto “NIEMALS ALLEIN!” (“Never Alone!”), the Macron logo and the wording “Designed in Bologna”, certifying that every garment is conceived, designed and developed at the Macron Campus. A customised internal hem tape features the repeated wording “LOVE HANNOVER HATE RACISM”, while the external backneck also displays the “NIEMALS ALLEIN!” motto in black.
The kit is completed by off-white shorts and socks, both enhanced with verdigris details: on the side panels and leg hems of the shorts, and on the turnover of the socks.
The shirt has a Slim Fit, and is primarily made from Eco Piola, a fabric whose distinctive construction gives the garment a refined vintage appearance, noticeable both visually and to the touch. The Eco Baimi back panel and Eco Mesh inserts further ensure lightness, comfort and excellent breathability. All of these materials belong to the Eco Fabric range, produced from 100% post-consumer recycled polyester.
The new Hannover 96 2026/27 Third Kit, together with the full apparel and merchandising collection created by Macron for the German club, will soon be available in the dedicated section on macron.com.
