The home shirts are usually red or black. The away jersey is usually white. An exception and always something special is the 3rd (alternate) jersey which is sometimes retro blue with the old "Urhai" logo, inspired by one of the main sponsors or just in an unique color like the mustard yellow jersey from the 2008/2009 season.
When I started collecting in 2008, the jerseys were raffled among the fans for a fixed price (189,00€) so you had to be very lucky to get one of these awesome jerseys. Getting a jersey from your favourite player were nearly impossible. From about 2011 till 2018 the Haie auctioned off most of the jersey on eBay. Since 2019 you can bid on the jerseys on the page of the Haie-Fanshop. Because of the auctions you can have the jersey from the player you want... but the prices exploded. Bid for 189,00€ you usually don't even get an issued jersey.
Since 2013 there has been a lots of special jerseys wich are mostly played for only one game. Every year you can see the Haie wear in addition to the home, away, 3rd and warmup jerseys a pink "pinktober jersey", a nice and colorful "diversity jersey" and a "Tag der Junghaie jersey" which is inspired by jerseys from the past years. Sometimes the Haie wear one more jersey when they take part in the WinterGame or play against a NHL Team like the Edmonton Oilers in 2018.
To be honest, it is sometimes hard to be a collector of game worn jerseys from the Haie, especially when they sell up to 12 jerseys per season (3x trainings jersey, home, away, 3rd, diversity, pinktober, Tag der Junghaie, WinterGame and maybe a playoff set of the home and away jerseys). But the love to the team and a lots of great memories make it a lot of fun too :-)
Fun fact at the end: My first game worn jersey was a Haie-jersey - Kamil Piros 3rd 08/09!!
