The 2021/22 Rapid Wien side competed in the Austrian Bundesliga with the usual objective of the country's most decorated club: to fight for the title and remain in the European conversation. The team, led by Ferdinand Feldhofer, faced a season of consolidation after several years of trying to regain hegemony from Red Bull Salzburg, the absolute dominator of Austrian football over the last decade. The Allianz Stadion, inaugurated in 2016, remained one of the most atmospheric venues in the region, and Rapid's fans—known for their character and ultra culture—maintained one of the strongest identities in Central European football. Another season of resistance for a historic club that does not renounce its place in the Austrian elite.
The garment is the 2021/22 home shirt, manufactured by Puma. Green and white, the historic colors of Rapid, with the club crest on the chest and the characteristic finishes of Puma's line of European club kits. Size XXL. On the back, the number 12 with the name "Block West"—a direct reference to the most active cheering section of Rapid's fans, a declaration of ultra identity. The piece also features four signatures, adding an authenticity and collectible value that is difficult to replicate. A shirt with history both on and off the pitch.
