Love that lasts a lifetime. Bayer 04 present special edition jersey marking 50th anniversary of fan clubs Under the Cross

It is an expression of solidarity and a tribute to the unique fan culture Under the Cross: Bayer 04 Leverkusen make a special statement with the "50 Years of Fan Clubs" jersey. To mark the founding of the "First Fan Club 1976 Leverkusen", which was followed by many more over the years right up to the present day, the Bundesliga club is commemorating 50 years of passion with this new jersey. Highs and lows, successes celebrated together as well as defeats suffered are manifested in this piece of white fabric, a symbol of unwavering identification with the Werkself.

SPECIAL EDITION JERSEY

Love that lasts a lifetime. The new jersey symbolises devotion, loyalty and solidarity. It will be worn by the senior team for the first time on 28 February in the Bundesliga home match against FSV Mainz 05. The Bayer 04 Women will wear the new kit on 15 March in their away game at VfL Wolfsburg on matchday 20 in the Google Pixel Bundesliga.

Featuring a black and white Bundesliga badge, the special jersey is characterised by a striking white base colour with classic red round collar and cuffs. The print in a retro look and the legendary double badge design, which was first used by Bayer 04 between 1975 and 1984, give it a very special touch. The jersey pattern picks up on classic elements such as the cross and the historic Bayer 04 club badge. Tradition meets modern design. Made from lightweight, breathable fabrics, the jersey offers optimum comfort and performance both on and off the pitch. Black shorts and black socks with a cross design and white "B04" lettering ensure an eye-catching and coordinated look from head to toe.

Product information:

The new special edition jersey is available in children's sizes (JS - JXL) at a price of €69.90 and in adult sizes (S - 5XL) at a price of €94.90. There is also an elite version, which is identical to the players jersey the Werkself will be wearing in the match against FSV Mainz 05 on Saturday, 28 February (kick-off: 15:30 CET). The elite jersey (with a limited run of 1,200) is packaged in a high-quality special jersey box, including a certificate with numbering, to mark the 50th anniversary of the fan clubs, and costs €149.90 (sizes S - 3XL).
