Celebrations for the 120th anniversary: ​​Bayer Leverkusen in a new jersey!

As part of Bayer 04 Leverkusen's 120th anniversary, the club ignited a real firework. The association celebrated not only the first championship in its history, but also the win of the trophy. These successes make the anniversary unforgettable and create a strong connection to the past.

on Saturday, at the home game against Holstein Kiel, Leverkusen will be brought back to the center when the team plays in a special anniversary jersey. At 3:30 p.m. the game will kick off and fans can follow the game live on Sky or cheer in the live ticker.

The anniversary jersey in detail

The special jersey for the anniversary presents itself in a simple, elegant black. A red collar with golden buttons gives the shirt additional charm. The design is reminiscent of the club's first jersey from the 1907/08 season. Instead of the modern Bayer coat of arms, the founding logo of the "Gymnastics and Spielverein of the Color Fabries in front of Friedrich Bayer & Co. in Leverkusen", better known as TuS 04, adorns the breast side of the jersey. This department was founded on July 1, 1904, and the football section has existed since 1907.

Despite the long history, Bayer 04 Leverkusen has the stamp of a "non-tradition club" for some football fans, which becomes clear by the self-ironic slogan "No tradition since 1904". The anniversary jersey takes up this motto and reflects the club's humorous view of its history.

There are also two remarkable details about the shirt. The logos of the supplier and the sponsors are also black and give the jersey a contemporary, classic appearance. A built-in NFC chip is particularly innovative that enables fans to take part in competitions and to call up special content.

The jersey is available in different sizes, whereby children can acquire it for 64.90 euros and adults for 99.90 euros. On such a significant day, such merchandise offers are a nice way to celebrate the anniversary and to strengthen the connection between the club and its fans.

All interested supporters of Bayer 04 can look forward to an exciting game and a remarkable jersey. More information about the background and other celebrations around the 120th anniversary can be found in www.bild.de .
