After an absence between 2009 and 2017 the Deutschland Tour was back in 2018. The Tour involved 4 stages and the classification jerseys were provided by Santini. The overall leader's red jersey has names all over the jersey in a lighter shade. The Deutschland Tour name and logo are renderedon the front chest, back and shoulders of the jersey. The jerseys have the German flag on the back collar and German coloured stripes on the back pocket. The red and polka dot jerseys have white bands on the sleeves with the hashtag.
The Sprinter points jersey is green with the sponsor, Skoda's logo. The climber polka dot jersey is black with white polka dots. The white jersey has what looks like light blue bubbles and the sponsor Dauner's logo rendered front, back, shoulders and sleeves.
Santini produced a special edition Deutschland tour kit which used a colour palette of green/aqua shades. The sleeves and collar were dark green while the body of the jersey supports a repeating lighter green pattern. The names are rendered in either black or white.
