This is the new Jako Mainz 05 Carnival jersey for 25-26.
The Jako Mainz 05 2025-2026 Carnival football shirt features a black and pastel-colored checkerboard pattern across the shirt, replicating Lisbetche's chic outfit worn during carnival celebrations.
Traditional carnival elements complete the design of the Jako Mainz 05 25-26 Carnival jersey, including a jester's cap motif, four-color detailing on the collar and cuffs, and special carnival flock printing. The Schwellkopp figures have been fixtures of Mainz carnival for nearly 100 years, making them deeply meaningful symbols for the local community.
Only 1,905 numbered jerseys were produced, each packaged in an exclusive white collector's box with a matching pin and profile card of Lisbetche. The box complements last year's red packaging. Adult jerseys cost €95. Members receive a 10 percent discount and can purchase a maximum of two shirts through the online shop.
