I got the third kit in the mail last week. Its long sleeve, gold, collared, and a gem.

In der Zweiten Bundesliga rollt seit dem gestrigen Freitag wieder der Ball. Den Auftakt zur Saison 2011/2012 machten FSV Frankfurt und Union Berlin (1:1) sowie Energie Cottbus gegen Dynamo Dresden (2:1). Um 20.30 Uhr startete dann auch für den Absteiger Eintracht Frankfurt offiziell die Mission "Wiederaufstieg".

1. Fussball-Club Kaiserslautern, also known as 1. FCK, FCK or FC Kaiserslautern has unveiled its home for the 2011/12 German Bundesliga season. The kit is made by German sportswear company Uhlsport. Known for its goalkeeper gear, the sportswear manufacturer also acts as the kit provider for 2. Bundesliga club Union Berlin.

1. FC Union Berlin is a German association football club based in Berlin. The club currently plays in the 2. Fußball-Bundesliga (the second tier of German soccer) where it is in 11th place in the table after 33 matches played. FC Union Berlin unveiled its Uhlsport 2011/12 home kit to its fans on Saturday.

Berlin will no longer be the only major European capital without a top flight football team.

Hertha won promotion back to the Bundesliga with with three games left to play, after beating DFB-Pokal finalists Duisburg 1-0 in the 2. Bundesliga's Monday night match. Since this was an away match, Hertha had to postpone the big party until Friday, when they'll host 1860 Munich.

Union City Blues Hertha Berlin 1-2 FC Union Berlin (05:02:11) 74,244 fans; two teams; one city. In terms of football matches, those ingredients are normally a recipe for hatred and evil.

Dortmund v Schalke is arguably the fiercest derby in German football

Two games take place in Germany this weekend with local pride as well as three points at stake. The games in question, however, highlight the differing fortunes between football in the west and east of the country. The 1. Bundesliga on Friday night sees the biggest derby in German football between Borussia Dortmund and Schalke 04 whilst Saturday afternoon, in contrast, witnesses a very different contest in the country's second division between capital clubs 1.

The derby with no history?
In a weeks time European Football Weekends will join 75,000 fans in the Olympiastadion to watch Hertha take on Union in the Berlin derby. David Tunnicliffe, an Englishman living in Germany, gives us the heads up on the history, or lack of it, between these two great teams.
