Werder Bremen Marks 125th Birthday With Collector's Edition Shirt
On 5 February 2024, 'United Through History’ was the rallying cry as Werder Bremen sprang their 125th anniversary into action, unveiling a collector's edition jersey at a singular event of unity. This moment umbilically linked club legends of past and present. Back in 1899, at the dawn of Werder in the "Kuhhirte", to now, as it stands mighty, the location served as a flawless canvas for this jubilant event, crafting a bridge between former luminaries and current power players for the grand reveal of the 125 years anniversary jersey.
This stellar jersey, a tribute to a landmark chronology, will make its debut on the field when both the women's and men's teams step onto the pitch against TSG Hoffenheim and 1. FC Heidenheim respectively on the weekend following the 10th of February. Designed in a rich verdant green, the jersey's design features the original logo from 1899, imprinted in a harmonious shade of the same green, followed by the contemporary crest on the left and "1899-2024" neatly tucked below. Hummel's distinct branding assumes pride of place in a darker shade of green, merging seamlessly with the jersey's ensemble and the sponsor's logo nestled in, without taxing the overall aesthetic appeal.
Honouring their roots and the glory days, Werder Bremen football club legends, such as Hans Schulz, Thomas Schaaf, Marco Bode, Frank Baumann, Dieter Eilts, Ailton, Mirko Votava, and Nelson Valdez, journeyed back to the iconic "Kuhhirte" in camaraderie with the dawning generation of Bundesliga contenders, Marco Friedl, Marvin Ducksch, Jens Stage, and Lina Hausicke among others. A perfect mashup of generations, as old faces met new, the turf was flooded with bursts of excitement. What rocked the club to its core, though, was the anticipated unveiling of the new jersey and the release of an elaborate retro-style anniversary collection – a blend of the club's historic charm and contemporary finesse.
The Werder Bremen anniversary jersey is no ordinary piece of kit. Nestled within a premium anniversary box, it encapsulates the team spirit and the club's rich heritage. This revered armour will be accessible to fans at werder.de/shop and in the heartbeat of fan merchandise, the WERDER Fan World at wohninvest WESERSTADION. Follow the club into a new era, steeped in the memories of its past.
