A striking look has been achieved with a town map of Leverkusen on the dark blue shirt with the Bayer 04 logo fitting in perfectly with the design. The logo of Bayer AG is on the chest. The left sleeve has a logo of the Bayer Sports Family in addition to the Castore kit supplier logo. The white Werkself lettering on the neck is also eye-catching.
