Austria Vienna chose an unusually romantic way to present its third jersey for the new season. Five couples lead the campaign, ending the video with embraces and kisses while wearing the Austrian clubโs new shirt.
The concept centers on the message that โlove takes many forms.โ It also pays tribute to Gustav Klimt, one of Austriaโs most celebrated painters, and his famous work โThe Kiss.โ
The jersey comes in deep red with gold details and uses patterns inspired by Klimtโs iconic painting. Among the couples featured are Lea and Janine, a female couple whose relationship forms part of the campaignโs broader presentation of different expressions of love and their connection with Austria Vienna.
The club plans to release the jersey first in only 1,000 collectorโs packages. The packaging is designed so the shirt can also be displayed on a wall like a work of art. Both the menโs and womenโs Austria teams will wear it in their upcoming cup match.
Love takes many forms.
