Last season, more fans than ever before supported the Werkself at away matches in Germany and throughout Europe, making a significant contribution to the team's historic success. For this reason, the fans, together with the Bayer 04 women and youth players, are presenting the new away kit this time. And it's a real visual treat!
The white shirt is adorned with grey stripes that run in a zigzag pattern from top to bottom across the jersey. Highlights are the copper-coloured Bayer 04 emblem on the left chest, the copper-coloured and embroidered supplier logo of the British premium brand Castore on the right chest and the optional lettering on the back in a shiny copper tone. The neck is adorned with copper-coloured "Werkself" lettering, while main sponsor Barmenia is depicted in black font on the chest. Of course, the golden champions badge also catches the eye on the away jersey.
The away shirt comes in a normal version as well as a women's jersey and pro version. The normal shirt is priced at €64.90 for children (sizes 134-164) and €89.90 for adults (sizes S-5XL). Women's jerseys are available in sizes 36-48 and also cost €89.90. The pro version, which is identical to what the players will wear on the road this season, comes in sizes S-2XL and costs €129.90.
The away jersey is available now in Bayer 04 shops as well as in the online store. Club members receive a 10% discount on shirts purchased. Not a Bayer 04 Club member yet? No problem, HERE is how to become one!
Holders of an away season ticket can also get a loyalty discount on the away shirt. Please look out for it in your email inbox.
