Inspired by the Arena, made for the Arena: S04 unveil new home kit

Our home. Our home shirt. FC Schalke 04’s kit for the 2026/27 season celebrates the 25th anniversary of the VELTINS-Arena. Created together with adidas and 11teamsports, the royal-blue and navy shirt features an abstract pattern inspired by the roof structure of Schalke’s home, finished with white and light-blue detailing. It will make its first appearance on the pitch in Sunday’s (19/7) friendly against FC Erzgebirge Aue.

Inside

The VELTINS-Arena set new standards when it opened, and S04’s new home shirt pays tribute to the iconic stadium in its anniversary year. The abstract design unmistakably reflects the contours of the Arena, with the classic blue base gradually darkening across the shirt and extending onto the sporty raglan sleeves and traditional crew neck. Three light-blue adidas stripes on the shoulders provide the finishing touch, evoking the illuminated 360-degree band around the VELTINS-Arena after dark.

A high-quality woven Schalke badge stands out on the left of the chest, with the white embroidered adidas logo on the right. Main sponsor BEUMER also features in white below, while the BLÅKLÄDER logo appears on the left sleeve. Another white detail gives the shirt even more character: a modern graphic of the VELTINS-Arena sits on the back of the neck, with the unmistakable number 25 at the heart of the Gelsenkirchen landmark. The slim-fit cut and adidas climacool technology give the shirt a sleek, athletic look for every Schalke fan proud to represent their club and stadium. White shorts and blue socks, featuring the club’s founding year of 1904, complete the home kit.

Available online and in all S04 fan shops now

The new home shirt is available now at shop.schalke04.de and from all S04 fan shops. Women’s shirts in sizes XS to XXL and men’s shirts in sizes S to XXXL are priced at €99.95. Children’s shirts are available in sizes 128 to 176 for €74.95.
