Nine Shades of Hong Kong Red

Nine Shades of Hong Kong Red

東盟盃・主場見。

9 月底,香港將迎來 FIFA ASEAN Cup 2026 主場賽事。賽事由 9 月 24 日起在香港上演,旺角大球場及啟德體育園均會成為比賽場地。

對於一直有睇港隊、有著港隊紅衫入場嘅球迷而言,呢個唔止係一輪國際賽,而係一個屬於主場嘅時刻。

港隊主場衫,亦從來唔止一種紅。

由 Nike 港隊年代開始,紅色一直都係主場球衣嘅基調;不過每一代都有自己嘅細節、紋理同記憶。白綬帶、勝利劍條、雙紅、洋紫荊、石屎森林、黃格——有啲設計來自隊徽,有啲來自香港街頭,有啲則在球迷心中連住某一場波、某一位球員、某個屬於港隊嘅晚上。

今次 Double Kick 精選回顧九件 Nike 香港隊主場球衣。九件主場,九種香港的紅。

 

Ready for ASEAN Cup.

At the end of September, Hong Kong football comes home.

The FIFA ASEAN Cup 2026 brings matches to Hong Kong from 24 September, with Mong Kok Stadium and Kai Tak Stadium among the host venues. For supporters who have followed Hong Kong through every era — and worn the red shirt into the stands — this is more than another international window. It is a home moment.discoverhongkong+2

And a Hong Kong home shirt has never been just one kind of red.

Across the Nike era, every home jersey has carried its own detail, texture and memory. The sash. The Victory stripes. Two reds. A Bauhinia pattern. A concrete skyline. A yellow box junction.

Some shirts bring back a particular match. Some recall a player. Others simply bring back the feeling of seeing a whole stand dressed in red.

This is Double Kick’s look back at nine Nike Hong Kong home-jersey eras.

Nine home shirts. Nine shades of Hong Kong red.

The First Chapter 開章

Nike 港隊年代嘅開端。

當年 Nike 與港隊合作初期,球衣先採用了中超球隊模板設計;新一代專屬設計仍在準備之中。 全紅衫身、簡單剪裁,冇太多裝飾,亦正正因為咁,呢件衫成為了整個 Nike 港隊年代最直接嘅開始。

每一段歷史,都有第一頁。
呢件,就係開章。

The opening of the Nike Hong Kong era.

In the early stage of Nike’s partnership with Hong Kong, the first shirts used a Chinese Super League template while a dedicated new design was still being confirmed. This all-red home shirt was simple, direct and free from major graphics.

No sash. No hidden pattern. No elaborate construction.

Every era needs a first page.
This was the opening chapter.

The Sash 白綬帶

一條白綬帶,由左胸劈落去。

2012 年推出嘅 Nike 港隊主場球衣,以紅色為主體,左側衫身與右袖加入黑白綬帶元素。Nike 當年形容它帶有東方文化色彩,同時令左胸隊徽更突出。

對不少球迷而言,白綬帶係 Nike 港隊年代最易認嘅設計之一。紅、白、黑三色切開衫身,遠睇已經知道係邊一代。

而球衣領內嘅「勁揪」二字,亦令呢件衫唔只係一件設計作品,而係一段球迷文化。

One white sash, cutting down the shirt.

The 2012 Nike Hong Kong home shirt used a red base with black-and-white sash detailing on the left side of the body and on the right sleeve. Nike described the detail as carrying an Eastern influence, while also making the Hong Kong badge stand out on the chest. For many supporters, this remains one of the most instantly recognisable Nike Hong Kong shirts. The red, white and black split made it unmistakable from a distance.

Inside the collar, the words “Ging Kau” added another layer. It was not just a shirt design; it became part of Hong Kong football-supporter culture.

 

2014/15 Home

V for Victory 勝利劍條

深淺紅色劍條,暗中砌出一個 V。

2014/15 主場球衣以深淺相間嘅紅色直條為設計核心;深色劍條由上而下漸變,形成一個象徵 Victory 嘅 V 字圖案。雙層圓領亦令整件衫更有立體感。

呢件衫嘅魅力,係將訊息收埋喺細節入面。第一眼,你見到係直間紅衫;再望真啲,先見到嗰個代表勝利嘅 V。

勝利劍條,係一件要靠近先睇得清嘅港隊經典。

Dark and light red sword stripes, forming a hidden V.

The 2014/15 Hong Kong home shirt was built around alternating vertical red stripes. The darker stripes faded from top to bottom, creating a V shape intended to symbolise Victory. Nike also used a double-layered round collar to give the shirt a more dimensional construction.

The best part of this design is that its message is not printed loudly across the front.

At first glance, it is a red striped shirt. Look more closely, and the V starts to appear.

 

2016/18 Home

2-Tone 雙紅

一件主場衫,兩種紅。

2016/18 主場球衣將兩個不同深淺嘅紅色放到衫身正面,形成乾淨而強烈嘅 2-Tone 設計。Nike 當年的設計概念亦延續港隊隊徽紅白中分嘅視覺語言。

雙紅唔靠繁複圖案,只靠色調之間嘅分界,已經做到一眼認出。

簡單,卻夠有性格。

One home shirt. Two reds.

The 2016/18 home jersey used two different tones of red across its front, creating a clean and graphic 2-Tone composition. The visual language also continued the red-and-white split associated with the Hong Kong crest.

It did not need a busy all-over graphic to make an impact. The difference between the two reds was enough.

Simple. Sharp. Instantly recognisable.

 

2018/19 Home

The Bauhinia 紫荊暗花

遠睇係紅色橫間;近睇,先見到一朵洋紫荊。

2018/19 主場球衣首次把香港市花洋紫荊融入港隊戰衣。衫身以不同粗幼、深淺嘅紅色橫線,砌出五瓣洋紫荊暗花;領後位置亦印有「HKG」細節。

呢件衫代表咗一種好香港嘅設計語言:唔需要高聲講出嚟,但細節一直都喺度。

The Bauhinia,係一件愈睇愈有味道嘅球衣。

From a distance: red horizontal stripes.
Up close: a Bauhinia flower.

The 2018/19 home shirt was the first Hong Kong national-team jersey to incorporate the city’s Bauhinia flower into the design. Varying widths of tonal red horizontal lines formed a subtle five-petal Bauhinia across the front, while “HKG” appeared at the back neck. It is a design that reveals itself slowly.

The Bauhinia is not loud, but it is always there — a distinctly Hong Kong detail hidden in plain sight.

 

2020/22 Home

Concrete Jungle 石屎森林

香港嘅天際線,織入咗一件球衣。

2020/22 主場球衣以香港石屎森林為靈感,將高樓密集、垂直線條與城市幾何感轉化成衫身圖案。

佢冇直接畫出一幢幢大廈,但當你望住一組組向上延伸、交錯排列嘅紋理,就會聯想到香港最熟悉嘅城市輪廓。

Concrete Jungle 石屎森林,係屬於呢座城市嘅紅。

Hong Kong’s skyline, woven into a football shirt.

The 2020/22 home shirt drew inspiration from Hong Kong’s concrete jungle, translating dense buildings, vertical lines and city geometry into the shirt’s graphic pattern.

It did not literally illustrate skyscrapers. Instead, the intersecting lines and rising forms suggested the built density that defines the city.

Concrete Jungle is Hong Kong red through an urban lens.

 

2023/24 Home

Red Sea 紅海

一片紅,冇多餘嘅修飾。

2023/24 主場球衣回到非常乾淨嘅設計:紅色衫身、白色袖口,將焦點留畀隊徽、球員同比賽本身。

冇間條,冇暗花,冇城市圖案。

但當球員穿住同一抹紅、球迷喺看台舉起同一面旗,呢件簡約主場衫就變成一片紅海。

A field of red, with nothing unnecessary added.

The 2023/24 home shirt returned to a stripped-back look: an all-red body, white cuff details and a clean template that left the focus on the badge, the players and the match itself.

No stripes. No sash. No tonal flower. No city graphic.

But when the team wears the same red and the stand responds in the same colour, the shirt becomes something bigger.

A red sea.

 

2024/26 Home

Box Junction 黃格

香港人一望就明嘅圖案:黃格。

2024/26 主場球衣設計靈感來自香港繁忙馬路中心嘅「黃格」,同時結合傳統競賽龍舟嘅龍身花紋,以黑色細節作點綴。

黃格係香港街頭最日常嘅視覺符號之一;將它放到港隊紅衫上,令這件球衣多了一層本地生活感。

由馬路交界,到球場中圈。
Box Junction 黃格,係香港街頭走入主場嘅一件衫。

A pattern every Hongkonger recognises: the yellow box junction.

The 2024/26 home shirt took inspiration from the bright yellow box markings found at busy Hong Kong road intersections, combined with the patterning of traditional competitive dragon-boat hulls. Black trim completed the design.

The yellow box is an everyday part of the city. Putting that street-level symbol onto a Hong Kong home shirt gave the design a very local character.

From the road crossing to the centre circle.
