2014/15 · Home

Greuther Fürth’s 2014/15 home shirt, Hummel’s second at the Ronhof and its boldest: hoops in three shades, mint, green and white, chevrons on the shoulders, the clover and ERGO Direkt each in a stripe of its own. On the back, for the first time, all white, with only the 1903 at the neck and the club’s name in an arch.

The season opened in celebration, a 5-1 over Nürnberg on 11 August, the biggest home win ever in the Franconian derby, and ended in a scramble: Frank Kramer sacked in February, Mike Büskens back in the dugout and thirteen draws dragging the team down. A Stiepermann free kick saved it, 1-0 against Darmstadt on the penultimate matchday. Final place: 14th, 37 points.

Here at Hoopster, mint green is the colour of a season lived between the derby and the drop.
