The new New Balance Bayer Leverkusen 26-27 home kit features a bold and aggressive take on the club's traditional colors. The new Bayer 04 home shirt utilizes a predominantly black base, dominated by two thick, striking red stripes running down the front. Upon closer inspection, these red stripes contain a subtle, tonal geometric cross pattern embedded directly into the fabric.
The upper chest, collar, and shoulders remain solid black, while the vibrant red coloring continues down onto the lower half of the sleeves. The sleeve cuffs are neatly finished with a finely detailed white, black, and red trim. On the back, the bold striped pattern continues.
The nape of the neck features the club's famous "WERKSELF" nickname in red, sitting just above the bold "BAYER 04" text. Inside the collar is the slogan "Mut unterm Kreuz" (Courage beneath the Cross).
