The new web shop reflects the design of the Bayer 04 website. In the black and red colours of the club and with lots of big photos the site is really eye-catching. There is also a lot of new content at the shop. Current offers and promotions stand out on the home page – you can see what's new in the black and red world straight away. And, thanks to the responsive design, the whole shopping experience is available on the move – whichever device you have in your hand. And, to cap it all, the shop loads faster than before. We have also revamped the 'My Account' section: All information on your order is easily visible and you can track your orders or view and change your personal details.
The player pages are also new. Every Werkself pro has their own page at the new web shop. In addition to player information, you can also find the individual players' favourite products. A little taster: Lukas Hradecky likes the Bayer 04 wheat beer glass, Julian Brandt counts the Playstation controller in #B04eSports look as one of his favourites and Jonathan Tah thinks the 'Laurel' hoodie from the current range should be in every Werkself fan's clothes cupboard. Have a browse– you'll definitely find something to go with your personal favourite. And if that's the shirt of your favourite player then it's easy to sort out in 04 simple steps using the new shirt configurator.
