German club FC Erzgebirge Aue has released a special edition kit celebrating the club's 80th anniversary in 2026, titled "SchAchtzig" - a tribute to the region's mining heritage.
Erzgebirge Aue 25-26 80th anniversary Kit
This is the Erzgebirge Aue 2025-2026 80th anniversary jersey, made by Nike.
The Nike Erzgebirge Aue 2025-26 80th anniversary football shirt uses a standard black and white Nike shirt as the base, with several elements added by the club for a custom look.
The Nike Erzgebirge Aue 2025-26 80th anniversary jersey features an all-black design inspired by the coal mines that defined the Erzgebirge region. The club crest appears in a matte finish on the chest, while the Erzgebirgskreis regional emblem sits centrally. Silver details throughout reference the silver ore that gave the Ore Mountains (Erzgebirge) their name.
The kit lacks the club's purple color, which was criticized by fans
The design of the Nike Erzgebirge Aue 2025-2026 80th anniversary shirt pays homage to the miners who founded the club and shaped the region's identity. The black represents the darkness of the mine shafts, while the silver accents symbolize the precious metals extracted from the mountains and the light that guided miners underground.
Aue will wear the Nike Erzgebirge Aue 25-26 80th anniversary jersey during their home match against Alemannia Aachen on March 4, 2026, shortly after the club's actual 80th birthday. The shirt is available to club members for 99.95 euros in limited quantities before general release.
