No tradition since 1904 – Bayer 04 release 120th anniversary kit

The German double winners’ special-edition jersey to mark the club’s 120th anniversary is reminiscent of the first kit worn by players back in the 1907/08 season. The jersey, which the Werkself will wear for the Bundesliga home game against Holstein Kiel on Saturday, 5 October and which has been met with enthusiasm by the players, has numerous special features relating to the club's history, including an NFC chip that leads to exclusive content when scanned with a smartphone.

The real highlight is the original logo from Turn- und Spielverein der Farbenfabriken vorm. Friedrich Bayer & Co. in Leverkusen on the left chest. On the right is the tone-on-tone coloured logo of British kit supplier Castore. The Bayer 04 sponsors are also presented in tone-on-tone colour. The historic Barmenia logo is emblazoned on the chest, while the neck is adorned with Werkself lettering.

The black ‘costumes’, as the sportswear was called 120 years ago, are also characterised by a striking red collar and golden buttons below the collar.

Another special feature is a so-called NFC chip that is built into the special jersey below the logo on the chest. When fans hold their smartphone over the logo, a page with exclusive content opens in the Bayer 04 app. Among other things, there will be a competition with the main prize of two VIP tickets for the Champions League home game against Inter Milan. A signed Bundesliga jersey and the special goalkeeper jersey worn can also be won.

Information on printing

The special jersey can be customised with player and personal names. Fans can look forward to a very special style of printing on the back. If a name is selected, the sleeves will be also embellished with the official golden champions badge (right) and the Niedax partner logo in a dark grey tone-on-tone look (left).

The price for children's sizes (134-164) is €64.90, while for adults (S-5XL) it costs €99.90.

Discount for members, exclusive PRO version

The special jersey can now be purchased in the Bayer 04 shop at the BayArena and in the online shop. Club members also benefit from a 10 percent discount when purchasing the jersey. Not yet a Bayer 04 club member? Click HERE to become a member now!
