The new Werkself third shirt represents the regional rivers of the Wupper, Dhünn and Rhine, which converge in Leverkusen, in the form of white lines on a cyan blue background. As with the 2023/24 home shirt, the new third shirt shows the local connection of Bayer 04 to the city of Leverkusen. The logo of kit supplier Castore and the Bayer 04 logo match the colour of the design.
Bayer 04 fans have again been involved in the planning process and the design of the third kit as with previously presented shirts for the forthcoming season.
The shirt has a unisex cut and is available for adults in sizes S to 5XL at a price of €84.90. Children shirts are available in sizes 128-164 are available for €64.90. Names of Werkself players or players from the Bayer 04 Women's squad can be added at a price of €14.90 and individual wording selections cost €19.90.
The Werkself will wear the new third kit on Saturday 12 August (kick-off: 15.30 CEST) in the first round of the DFB Cup against FC Teutonia 05 Ottensen to be played at the Millerntor Stadium in Hamburg.
Bayer 04 and main sponsor BarmeniaGothaer have shown great commitment to the community as the sale of custom-designed T-shirts for charity in the Fanwelt as part of the “BarmeniaGothaer Brings Joy campaign raised a good €5,000. Bayer 04 matched this sum with an equal contribution. As a result, a total of €10,000 was presented to Edmond Tapsoba for his foundation ahead of the home match against Hamburg. The foundation supports people facing challenging daily circumstances in his home country of Burkina Faso.
