White jersey: Sensational Olympic bronze in 1976

The 50 Olympics, with the bronze medal win, was a major turning point. Following this success, many positive and important developments for German ice hockey began. This symbol is now once again on display at the Deutschland Cup Seeing 2025, supported by a completely different generation of athletes, brings me great joy and fills me with pride."
Red jersey: cult and passion of the 80s
The red jersey reflects the striking design of the mid-1980s. Back then, the German national team embodied not only commitment, but above all passion and fighting spirit. Current national coach Harold Kreis also wore this jersey as a player – a symbol of the continuity of generations in German ice hockey. To this day, the striking look remains a cult item among collectors.
Voices from the past and present
