Ulsan unveiled its first glorious season uniform in the 1996 season, when it beat Suwon Samsung in the final to lift the trophy for the first time. It is a 'Newtro Uniform' that maintains the classic charm of the uniform about 30 years ago, but adds a modern design to keep up with the trend.
The 1996 season is particularly meaningful for Ulsan clubs and fans. This is because it was the year when Ulsan clubs, which won five K-League, two Asian Champions League, and the FA Cup (currently the Korea Cup), won their first championship.
Ulsan released the uniforms of the most iconic season again in a new form, informing the club's history and value and providing an opportunity for fans to enjoy them.
During the 1996 season, the purple, navy, and stripe patterns, which were dominant in home uniforms, were used as they were, showing the retrofit. On the contrary, the white square pattern used on the shoulders in the past has been replaced with a three-line design, a symbol of Ulsan's kit sponsor Adidas, adding to the novelty.
The text logo 'ULSAN HORANGI' is placed in the center on the front of the uniform, adding a design that can remind you of the team name 'Ulsan Hyundai Tiger'. The mascot emblem of the club in the 1996 season was attached to the left chest of the uniform, and the logo patch for the 2002 Korea-Japan World Cup was modernly redesigned and attached to both sleeves.

Ulsan released '1996 HORANGI Classic Jersey' as part of the 2022 Season Classic Collection. At the time, it was a project of the club's own, but this year, the team's collaboration with Adidas, a kit sponsor during the 1996 season, restored the uniform design and color to the highest level at the time.
Ulsan plans to wear Newtro uniforms in the 21st round of the 'Hana Bank K League 1 2025' against Daegu FC at Munsu Football Stadium at 7 p.m. on the 12th. However, the player's uniform is sold with official patches for the game (K League emblem, sponsor for the 2025 season, etc.), not Newtro design patches. Uniforms for athletes will be available only at UHD SHOP, an online shop in Ulsan, from 5 p.m. on the 9th.
General use is sold both online and offline. Starting with UHD SHOP online sales at the same time as for athletes. On-site sales will begin at 3 p.m. on the 12th at the UHD SHOP Munsu Stadium branch. The UHD SHOP Ulsan Up Square branch can be purchased from 10:30 a.m. on the 13th, the day after the game.
