The team under head coach Gerardo Seoane will go in search of goals on the road in black in the coming season. But the Werkself players will not have to manage without the home end: The stylish design of the new away kit is based on the sea of flags of the Bayer 04 fans in the North Stand.
The third shirt for the new season is white with red and black accents of colour. As with the home shirt, the away and third shirts have the word Werkself on the back of the shirt.

The two new shirts are available now from the Bayer 04 fan shops and from the online shop. For adults the kit is available in sizes S to 5XL and costs €84.90.
The addition of players names – including new signing Adam Hlozek – again costs €14.90 this year. One change: Fans of the Werkself can now have the names of players from the Women’s squad printed on the shirts. Printing of own names again costs €19.90 this year.
A fresh look for the BayArena: The Bayer 04 stadium will have new seating in the form of folding seats for the 2026/27 campaign that will ensure significantly improved seating comfort and simplified movement within the rows of seats. As part of routine replacement after 17 years, fans of the Werkself were able to purchase the existing seats, used to witness the first German league title in the club's history. In addition, a large proportion of the seats will be donated to charitable projects, primarily in the local region. Bayer 04 fans can look forward to new, functional folding seats for the season opener at the beginning of August - still in the club colours of black and red, of course. A glimpse at the BayArena during the refurbishment.
