Popular German Bundesliga club Bayer 04 Leverkusen (commonly called Bayer Leverkusen ) have launched their Adidas 2009/10 away kit.
Some of you might be familiar with kit design as it was used by a number of teams during the 2008/09 season. These included the Houston Dynamo of MLS and English Football League Championship sides Plymouth Argyle and Derby County.
According to Bayer Leverkusen’s website:
The basic colour is white, the sponsor’s lettering TelDaFax Energy is a bright red and the shirt has a yellow trim. Bayer 04 will play most of their games on the road in white in the coming season. Werkself keeper René Adler and midfielder Tranquillo Barnetta launched the kit on Tuesday with 150 fans in attendance at the Bayer 04 shop in Leverkusen-Wiesdorf.
Bayer 04 replace their kit every two years and after the first season with the new home kit it is time for a change on the road. The kit supplier adidas presented a number of suggested designs for sporting director Rudi Völler and the team to choose from. “The previous away kit was my favourite kit and was very popular. But I really like the new one because it is attractive, relaxed and bright. The yellow trim is a new departure,” said Bayer 04 managing director Wolfgang Holzhäuser.
After the official launch on Tuesday, the kit will be worn by the Werkself for the first time on Wednesday night for the friendly against Al Ahly Cairo in Wattenscheid (17.00 CET). The colours were also well-received by midfielder Tranquillo Barnetta: “It’s really great. White looks really good and it felt good when I wore it. We’ll be in the new kit for the friendly in Wattenscheid and we’ll be looking to celebrate our first win wearing it.”
