SK Rapid Wien presents new jerseys for the 2026/27 season and launches era with outfitter Mizuno

Mizuno thus replaces the previous outfitter Puma and will kit out the Hütteldorf team with jerseys going forward. Rapid and the Japanese company have signed a contract until summer 2031 and will go their joint path together for the next five years. According to the club, this is the first partnership of its kind between Mizuno and an Austrian football club.

Reactions from the club

Hofmann explicitly thanked those involved: "An dieser Stelle ein großes Dankeschön an unsere interne Arbeitsgruppe sowie an Mizuno für die hervorragende Umsetzung der Ideen", Hofmann said, pleased with the successful end result. Already at the announcement of the new partner, he had given fans great hopes: "Eines kann ich an dieser Stelle gleich vorwegnehmen, und zwar, dass sich alle Rapid-Fans sehr auf die zukünftigen Trikots freuen dürfen."

On Rapid's side as well, the sporting dimension of the collaboration was emphasized. There was joy over a "hoffentlich auch sportlich erfolgreiche Ära mit unserem neuen Ausrüster", it was said from the club. The new partnership is portrayed by both sides as a milestone that goes beyond pure equipment matters.

Design with Viennese reference

Daniela Bauer, Managing Director of Business at Rapid, underscored the special nature of the agreement: "Wir freuen uns sehr, dass wir nun offiziell als erster österreichischer Verein die Partnerschaft mit Mizuno starten können." This makes the collaboration stand out from comparable sponsorship deals in Austrian football.

According to the club, the new jerseys impressively reflect fresh energy, urban character, and the bond with home. The models thus deliberately reference Vienna as the club's home city and the surroundings around Hütteldorf station. Details of the designs are said to be recognizable only upon closer inspection.

Background to the partnership

The chest sponsor "Wien Energie" will continue to be seen on the jerseys in the coming years. With Friday's presentation, the secret surrounding the team's future look is now revealed. Fans and observers will see the new Mizuno kits in action for the first time in the preparatory matches for the 2026/27 season.

SK Rapid Wien is one of the most tradition-rich football clubs in Austria and plays its home matches at the Allianz Stadion in Hütteldorf. With the switch to Mizuno, the club is betting on an outfitter that is internationally known above all for its expertise in the sports of football, handball, and running. The coming five years are intended to form the foundation for a long-term collaboration.
