Hertha Berlin 2019-20 – The Third Nike with TEDI, when Berlin's Old Lady played for high stakes

What this jersey represents

The 2019-2020 season is one of the craziest in Hertha BSC's modern history. In January 2020, Lars Windhorst – through Tennor – injected a colossal first tranche into the club, with the stated ambition of turning it into a "big Berlin club," capable of competing with the Bundesliga's top teams. The word "Haupstadtklub" – the capital club – became as much a political project as a sporting one. This third jersey was born in that unique fervor.

On the pitch, Hertha at the time relied on solid and recognizable players. Ondrej Duda, the club's top scorer in previous seasons, led the team offensively. Dedryck Boyata and Karim Rekik held the defense. In attack, Davie Selke and Dodi Lukebakio brought speed and penetration. It was an ambitious mid-table team, with character, driven by an entire city that finally dreamed of returning to the top of the league.

Moments etched in this jersey

The Windhorst announcement – January 2020
Mid-season, the billionaire investor's spectacular entry made headlines across Europe. Hertha spoke of a "Big City Club" and promised big things in the transfer market. The atmosphere around the club completely changed in a few weeks.

The Covid parenthesis and the ghost Bundesliga
As with all European football, the season was split in two by the pandemic. The Bundesliga resumed behind closed doors in May 2020, in empty stadiums – a surreal image. Hertha finished the season decently, avoiding relegation, but without much sparkle either, caught between promises and on-field reality.

The subsequent XXL summer recruitment
Driven by Windhorst's promises, Hertha's management laid the groundwork for massive future recruitment during this season. This 2019-20 period was the starting point of a transformation – chaotic, admittedly – but real. This Nike TEDI third jersey perfectly marks that turning point.

Authentic vs. Replica

An authentic vintage jersey is a version designed to be worn – or close to player standards. The cut is different from a simple replica sold in stores: technical fabrics, neat finishes, specific internal labels from the kit manufacturer. With Nike, the difference between an authentic and a replica can be felt in the hand, in the lightness of the Dri-FIT fabric, in the seams. It's not a reproduction; it's the real piece from that era.

This Hertha 2019-20 third jersey is in 9/10 condition. Specifically: the TEDI flocking is present and legible, the Nike material is intact, no tears, no visible stains reported. For a jersey over five years old, this is a fair and serious condition. The minor flaw related to authentic natural wear only adds to the piece's legitimacy.

Vintage Size Guide

Nike sizes from this generation – late 2010s – are generally true to modern standards, but you should always check. A Nike XL from 2019 might correspond to a current L depending on the brand and chosen cut. Never assume, always measure. The cut of jerseys from this period is often more fitted than one might imagine, especially on authentic versions.

Before buying, take a jersey you already wear and measure the shoulder width (seam to seam) as well as the total length. Compare with the actual product measurements if available, or contact us directly. Two minutes of checking are better than an unnecessary return on such a nice piece.

Why have it in your collection

The Hertha BSC 2019-20 third jersey is a piece that tells a specific story, localized in time. It's not a club that collects trophies – and that's precisely what makes it an interesting collector's item. Hertha is Berlin, it's the Bundesliga in its popular and grassroots essence, and this 2019-20 season will be remembered as the beginning of an ambitious and turbulent era. Bundesliga club third jerseys in vintage Nike versions sell quickly – they are less common than home or away kits, so their rarity is real.

In 9/10 condition, there aren't many like it on the market. A third jersey, by definition, was worn less than home or away kits – which often explains their better preservation. This one ticks all the boxes: historic club, Nike kit manufacturer, intact TEDI sponsor, period cut. For a serious collector of vintage Bundesliga jerseys, it would be a mistake to miss out.
