Despite the season only just finishing, Rapid fans can already get a peek into 2014/15: the official launch for the new away shirt has taken place, and the shirt is now available for purchase in the Fan Shop."The shirt is in a classic white, with subtle hints of red and blue tones on the collar and sleeves", said Georg Kovacic from partner and kit manufacturer adidas about the new shirt. Roland Königshofer was also present in the iconic Cafe Landtman in downtown Vienna for the press launch, along with a strong media presence and three young Rapid stars: Dominik Starkl (called up to the Austria u21's), Max Hofmann and Mario Pavelic were on hand to sport the new shirt - "a great feeling", said a smiling Pavelic.But, if you want to catch a first hand look at the shirt for yourselves, then your in luck! We always aim to provide the loyal Rapid fans with the best service we can, and the Fan Shop already has the 2014/15 away shirt in stock, so head on down to Keißlergasse (1140) and have a look.Sporting Director Andreas Müller was on hand in Cafe Landtman and took time out to say a few words about the season just passed, before turning an eye to the coming campaign: "There's lots of work in store for the squad, but we'll make sure we're in a position to qualify for international football again next season. We want to keep on down the road we're currently on, producing our own young talents, thats the future, thats the Rapid philosophy!" Club Services Manager Andy Marek ("we consciously went for a shirt in our traditional colours, not neon yellow or orange like other clubs have") had some useful info for the Rapid fans: "On the 27th July the season tickets go on pre-sale. We'll make sure we give out the information about booking procedures and prices at least two weeks in advance."The old season has only just finished, but the first signs of the new season are already in full view! Please keep checking back as we'll keep you up to date with all the latest goings on from Hütteldorf!
