Bundesliga 2 has opened voting for the best away kit of 2026/27, with fans asked to choose the division's next kit kings now. The competition is back under the Bundesliga 2 Kit Kings banner, and there will be four rounds of voting in the coming days to determine the winner. 1. FC Kaiserslautern arrive as the reigning home-strip champions after beating 1. FC Nürnberg in the final this summer.
Kaiserslautern's place in the vote
Kaiserslautern's return gives the contest a familiar name, but this is a different race from the one they won earlier in the summer. Their home shirt was enough to get them over the line against Nürnberg then, and the new vote shifts attention to the away design instead.
The club's recent form gives a small bit of extra context around the reigning champions. Kaiserslautern's last five competitive matches include a 7-0 DFB Pokal win at RSV Eintracht, a reminder that they have not been absent from the conversation on the pitch either. The club's other recent results were part of that five-match run as well.
The voting window
Bundesliga.com's feature copy makes the call to action direct. "Cast your vote in the app now!" It also says there will be four rounds of voting in the coming days to determine the winner.
Nürnberg's presence matters because they were the runners-up in the home-kit final, and they return here as one of the clubs fans will be weighing up again. Their last five results are also part of the context around the contest, but the main point is simpler: this is a public vote, not a panel decision, and Kaiserslautern are already back in the spotlight as the 2026/27 away-kit race opens.
