The team's recent successes have been huge, including a double-winning season; however, there have been significant issues with the current supplier Castore, particularly with massive delivery problems that left many fans unable to purchase Bayer jerseys, especially the new 24-25 away kit.
Due to the delivery problems, Bayer 04 now has the option of terminating the contract prematurely, but only for the 2025-2026 season.

Konyaspor 26-27 Special Kit Vote
Turkish Super Lig side Konyaspor has officially handed the design reins to its supporters by launching a fan vote to select the club's 2026-27 alternative kit, with three bespoke Hummel designs currently up for debate.
The "Anatolian Eagles" are offering a diverse menu of choices: a vibrant green-and-white checkered pattern that evokes a classic retro feel, a clean half-and-half vertical split with intricate chevron detailing on the sleeves, and a minimalist white base featuring a sharp green horizontal band across the chest.
In a nod to the club's heritage, the poll is scheduled to close this Friday, May 15 at exactly 19:22 - a tribute to the club’s founding year.
