WELCOME TO THE JAKO NEWS BLOG

The Werkself remains true to itself even when they are far from the BayArena. This is at least true with regard to the new away jersey that supplier JAKO and Bayer 04 Leverkusen are presenting today. The red jersey with collar and sleeve cuffs in yellow and white partner logos is inspired by the colours of the club emblem.  

Stefan Kießling, management consultant at Bayer 04 Leverkusen, says: "Together with JAKO we wanted to design a matching counterpart to the black home jersey. So we asked ourselves: What is missing so that the two game dresses form a unit that matches the Werkself? We found the answer in the club emblem: Red is the first club color and dominates the logo along with the colors white and yellow. The color of the lettering and frames, black, is found in the home jersey."

Vertical pinstripes are embossed on the jersey, symbolising the eleven players of the Werkself. The neckband is printed 'werkself' on the outside and 'Bayer 04' on the inside. The name of the city 'Leverkusen' is embossed on the sleeve seams. In consultation with the Werkself players, JAKO has added a higher proportion of elastane to the sleeves than in the previous season to allow even better mobility in the upper body and shoulder area.

The new jersey is available immediately in the fan and online shops of Bayer 04 Leverkusen and at www.jako.de in sizes from 128 to 5 XL and at a price of €79.99 (children: €59.99).
