The fan version of the home jersey is visually almost indistinguishable from the one worn by Jonathan Tah, Florian Wirtz & Co. It’s simple, with vertical stripes in black and red giving the shirt a special lustre. The differences can be seen at second glance. The stadium version is made out of 100% polyester, with the Bayer 04 and JAKO logos printed in a silicone look. Main sponsor Barmenia on the chest and the Werks11 logo on the back of the neck are also incorporated into the fabric.
A further difference becomes clear at the checkout. The fan version of the home shirt costs €29.90 in children’s sizes and €49.90 in size S and above.
But regardless of whether you’re wearing the authentic home jersey or the fan version, your heart is still beating for the Werkself. And Bayer 04 is working flat out to ensure that fans will again be able to choose between the two options in time for the pre-Christmas season.

“As far as mentality and determination are concerned, we have nothing to reproach ourselves for,” Robert Andrich said up after the first home defeat for the Werkself this term. In terms of their play, too, the Black and Reds put in a respectable performance for long stretches of this intense and physical match, outperforming VfB Stuttgart in most areas. It was only in terms of efficiency in front of goal that the Swabians had the edge over the Werkself. Head coach Carles Martínez wants to learn from this so that, in future, they can “win this sort of match too”. The Werkself review.

Rüdiger Vollborn has been at the club for 40 years, he holds the record number of Bundesliga appearances for the club (401) and is the only Bayer 04 player to have won both the UEFA Cup (1988) and the DFB Pokal (1993).
