The Leverkusen kit for the coming season remains all red. The highlights of the home shirt RB sound wave worked into the material that gives the shirt a unique characteristic. The special thing: The sound wave is derived from the Bayer 04 fan song of 'Leverkusen allez'. That means supporters of the Black and Reds will not only be unmissable in the stands but also on the pitch.
The new home shirt is available immediately from Bayer 04 Fan shops as well as the online shop. Children sizes of 134 to 164 are on sale at €64.90 and the adult shirts in sizes S to 5XL at €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 squad printed on the shirts. Printing of own names again costs €19.90 this year.
For the new season, the home shirt will be available for the first time as a player version (does not apply to goalkeeper shirts). This gives Bayer 04 fans the opportunity to wear the same shirt in the stands as Jonathan Tah and Co. on the pitch. The Pro version is available both in men's and women's shirts and each costs €119.90.
HERE is the home shirt as standard or as a pro version for comparison.
