The club colours dominate through black and red stripes that run diagonally from the shoulder to the waist on the light grey kit - and clearly indicate who the opponent is up against, even on away trips. The Bayer 04 logo on the left chest stands out in a white and black 3D look. The neck features black ‘Werkself’ lettering.
As with the home kit, Bayer 04 fans were also involved in the planning and design of the away strip. The result is a real feel-good jersey for all trips with Bayer 04. From Bremen to Munich, from Dortmund to Berlin - a must-have for all those who want to support their Werkself in other Bundesliga stadiums and of course also on the European stage.
It has a straight unisex cut and, like the home jersey, is also available in a professional version for men and women. It is available in children's sizes 128 to 164 (priced at €64.90) and in adult sizes S to 5XL (priced at €84.90). The PRO versions cost €119.90. The away jerseys can be printed with the names of the Werkself players and the Bayer 04 Women (at a price of €14.90) or with your own personalised name (at a price of €19.90).
