Based on the new Wolfsburg 2015-16 Home Kit by Kappa, the Wolfsburg 2015 DFB-Pokal Final Kit features the official logo of the final, which can also be seen on Borussia Dortmund's shirt for the match.

Wolfsburg additionally added a green heart on the upper left side, with the number 19 printed inside. The number 19 shirt belonged to Junior Malanda, who died in a car crash last winter.

"The heart stands for Junior Malanda. We often said that we also played for him in the last few months, which is especially true for the cup final. We want to point this out once again with this action," said manager Klaus Allofs.
