German sports shirts - green white hoops

This page shows shirts from German clubs that also have the green white hoops or stripes, or that are similar to the Stromp shirt (one side green, one side white). Most or all are football shirts. Germany is a big country passionate for football, and it has teams that wear all the colours of the rainbow, and even if green and white are not the most popular, and stripes are rather uncommon, we still managed to find several ones!

There are probably many more teams in Europe that wear the green white hoops! If you know any, let me know! But first check the English teams section, and of course the Scottish, Welsh and Irish teams section. And see the links above for American, African, Asian and Australian green white hooped kits!

You can also see, in their dedicated sections, some Sporting Lisbon old shirts, mostly match worn, as well as the new Sporting Lisbon shirt.

Something special: a Bavarian club wearing the hoops

Deep down, many Bavarians don't think they are really Germans. For that matter, neither do many Germans from elsewhere. After all, Freistaat Bayern is, together with Saxony, one of the two German Free States, and the only one that kept this identity between 1952 and 1989. This is a home shirt of this club that traces its origins back to 1903, when Turnverein 1860 Fürth formed a football section.

Something special: Leipzig kommt! Aber nicht sehr weit

As all Saxons know, Leipzig is destined to always be the second most important city in the Free State of Saxony - Freistaat Sachsen (wo die hübschen mädels auf den bäumen wachsen), the other German Free State besides Bavaria, that recovered that title after the reunification of Germany. This shirt has the colours of Saxony - green and white - as well as the Saxonian royal crest in its midst - the rampant lion with the black/yellow hoops with the green crown. The most important Saxonian football club, Dynamo Dresden, once wore, for one single season shortly after the Wiedervereinigung, the green white hoops as well. This was to identify itself with the country - Sachsen. Its fans, however, didn't like it, because they prefered Dynamo to have their own colours - schwarzer Hals, gelbe Zähne. As for Sachsen Leipzig, it became insolvent in 2009 and was disbanded in June 2011.

A special shirt: sixth German League

FC Wegberg Beeck was founded in 1920, in the Beeck neighbourhood of the Wegberg village in the German state Nordrhein-Westfalen. In 1996 the club got its current name, "FC Wegberg-Beeck 1920 eV". With red and black colours, this away green white hooped shirt is nearly impossible to find. We thank João Almeida from Sports Vintage Shirts for having offered it to the Verdebranco collection!
