The Werkself in blue and green – in tribute to Bayer AG
To complete the range of kits for the 2016/2017 campaign the Werkself joined with kit supplier JAKO to produce a unique shirt reflecting the connection between the club and parent company.
In addition to the familiar kits in the club colours of black and red plus the white kit this exclusive and individual Bayer shirt completes the range of kits for the current season. In the traditional colour combination of blue and green the Werkself are taking account of their roots as they go in search of points in the colours of the Bayer group.
The Bayer logo and its associated optical characteristics serve as inspiration for the new kit. The combination of the Bayer cross and the use of the company colours form the centre point of this modern and sporty design. In addition to the historic colour combination there are also elements taken from the range of shirts for the current season. All individual features such as the club badge, the city skyline, the QR code and the Werkself written in traditional script are also integrated into this unique item.
The shorts and socks to go with this exclusive shirt are also blue, again reflecting the company colours. A special look is achieved with the green and white elements.
The shirt is available in adult sizes S to 5XL at the price of €79.90. Junior shirts in sizes 128 to 164 are available at €59.90. The kit goes on sale on Saturday 17 September at all Bayer 04 Leverkusen stores and at the online shop.
