Hamburg are unlucky on the pitch – it’s been three seasons since falling to Bundesliga 2, which finishes in fourth place, when the third gives access to the play-off for a spot in the first division – but also in jerseys. First was the faux pas in November of last year, when full-back Gyamerah appeared on the field under the wrong name – Gaymerah. The shirt was auctioned for charity and still earned 3888 euros. Now the fault was not the club’s, but the brand of sports equipment that wears the team, Adidas. Which delivered the alternative shirt, blue and black, with the name of the old sponsor, Fly Emirates, instead of the new one, Orthomol.
The brand has already apologized and promised to fix the problem immediately… but the immediate one will mean waiting until the end of August. Until then, including already in the league debut, the day after tomorrow, when visiting Schalke – another giant fallen to the second tier -, Hamburg will always have to play in white. Unless you do as a fan suggested on social media and order counterfeit jerseys in Turkey. These have the name of the right sponsor…
