VfB Stuttgart 1893 is one of Germany’s most historic football clubs. Founded in 1893 and now with more than 130 000 members, the club is deeply rooted in Stuttgart — a city shaped by the precision engineering of Mercedes, Porsche, and Bosch. In 2025, VfB introduced its new philosophy, “Forward Together,” alongside a renewed visual identity. The challenge was to modernize the club while respecting its traditional and fiercely loyal fanbase. The new system had to meet the region’s standards of precision and craft, performing consistently from matchday tickets to a Boeing 737 MAX. The crest, colours, and iconic red hoop ("Brustring") remained untouched. Rather than following design trends, the identity returns to VfB’s origins and birthplace, Hotel Concordia in Bad Cannstatt. Historic elements were reinterpreted through a contemporary lens, creating a system where every detail is constructed, not decorated — modern, precise, and unmistakably VfB Stuttgart.
