With iconic chameleon logo: Talcid is sleeve partner in DFB Pokal

Bayer 04 Leverkusen continue cooperation with proven sleeve partner Talcid in the coming DFB Pokal campaign. In the current season, the famous Bayer brand – starting with the first round tie at Baden-Württemberg Regional League side SG Sonnenhof Großaspach on Friday – will be displayed with the historic chameleon logo on the right sleeve of the Werkself players jerseys. Bayer 04 won the DFB Pokal for the first time in 1993 with that logo on their chests – Talcid was the official jersey sponsor of the Werkself from 1991 to 1995.

In the 2024/25 season, Talcid, a Bayer product for treating heartburn, was the Bayer 04 sleeve partner in the DFB Pokal for the first time. Recalling the iconic brand presence in the 1990s has gone down well with many Werkself fans – as an expression of special consideration of an historic club success.

In addition, Talcid will have comprehensive coverage at Bayer 04 Bundesliga home games on the LED perimeter hoardings at the BayArena. Joint online campaigns on Bayer 04 digital channels are also included in the terms of the contract. Talcid is now also an official partner in the Sponsors Club at the current Bundesliga runners-up. The new DFB Pokal jersey with the Talcid badge is available from today at the Bayer 04 online shop and the Bayer 04 Fanwelt at the BayArena in Leverkusen.

Bayer 04 put in a brilliant performance to beat RB Leipzig 4-1 on Bundesliga matchday 32 and are now fourth in a Champions League spot. The Black and Reds took control of the game right from the start and, with 75 per cent possession at one stage, took a 2-0 lead into the break through Patrik Schick (25’) and Nathan Tella (45+1’). The visitors initially tried to do more after the break, but the Werkself remained determined and Schick scored his second goal to increase the lead to 3-0 (76'). The Red Bulls pulled a goal back through Christoph Baumgartner (80'), but the disciplined Leverkusen side were not rattled - and certainly not Schick: The Czechia international crowned a brilliant display with his third goal shortly before the final whistle to make the final score 4-1.

Matchday news #B04RBL: All in red for the next top match win

In the previous game against RB Leipzig in December last year, the Werkself turned came from behind to win 3-1 and further improved Leverkusen's already strong record against the Red Bulls. Montrell Culbreath stood out with his first goal on his debut for the Black and Reds. While the 18-year-old would certainly like to score a second goal against Leipzig on Saturday night, the attack-minded visitors come to the BayArena in confident mood after five Bundesliga victories in a row. The Nordkurve12 supporters group knows the Werkself will therefore once again be reliant on the vociferous support of the fans, and has once again called for the ‘Finally Red’ campaign in the run-in.
