Hertha BSC will play in the championship jersey against Holstein Kiel on Saturday. The jersey is reminiscent of their first Berlin championship title, which they won in 1906.

What's behind the championship jersey?

The jersey is a special edition, reminiscent of the one Hertha wore when they won their first Berlin championship title in 1906. It has been available in the fan shops since Thursday and will be worn by the professionals, led by captain Fabian Reese, in the home game against Kiel.

What is Hertha BSC's current situation?

The current team is far from championship glory. Hertha was the favorite to win promotion to the Bundesliga at the start of the season, but with four matchdays to go, they are 13 points behind league leaders Schalke. The promotion, which was Hertha's stated goal for the season, is also unlikely to happen, with a seven-point deficit to the third relegation spot.

What's next?

Goalkeeper Tjark Ernst said after the last game in Braunschweig: „The train has left the station.“ Without Hertha! The special edition jerseys will be auctioned off for charity after the game. Hertha BSC hopes to raise money for the new season by selling the jerseys.
