Last weekend, German Bundesliga club 1. FC Köln played with last season's anthracite third kit to avoid a kit clash with Augsburg's home kit. Now their shirt supplier Erima announced that they will launch a new black Cologne jersey for the 2017-18 season that will be worn in Köln's 2017-2018 Bundesliga matches away against Hamburg and Stuttgart.

It has been already known that the German brand will also launch a special 1. FC Köln 'Tradition Kit' since several weeks, while the brand's announcement to launch a a new black jersey means that the club will have not less than six different player kits in the 2017-18 season...
