At home in red and white: the 2024-25 FC home kit

The RheinEnergieSTADION is part of Köln’s soul and is a place where the passion for football is taken to another level with every game. A place that will always be firmly in the hearts of all fans and is a prominent part of the new FC home kit. 

The 2024-25 kit is largely white in keeping with tradition, along with red accents on the shoulders and with a special highlight to boot. Along the sides of the shirt is an homage to FC’s home, with the stadium columns featuring in red and white. The RheinEnergieSTADION in all its glory is also printed in silver inside the neck area. 

“The idea to incorporate the RheinEnergieSTADION into our home kit was an idea that immediately grabbed our attention. We are really pleased that we’ve been able to create such a great kit with the help of our partner, hummel and the kit commission,” said FC Managing Director, Markus Rejek. “The design of the new home kit is a tribute to the amazing and untiring support that the FC fans bring to the terraces every weekend.” 

The kit was created and developed in close co-operation with the members of the 1. FC Köln kit commission and is a symbol of the engagement from partner hummel for sustainability. The strip is 100% recycled polyester – breathable with hummel Beecool technology – and the claim “1. FC KÖLN x HUMMEL” can be found on the hip. 

"Our partnership with 1. FC Köln has always been about celebrating the club’s rich heritage and its passionate fan base. The new home kit perfectly embodies this spirit, capturing the essence of the iconic RheinEnergieSTADION. We eagerly look forward to seeing the stands filled with fans proudly wearing this shirt, united in their support and driving the team to many victories,“ said hummel’s Marketing Director, Morten Lund.

The new FC home kit is available now for 89,95€ for adults and 80,96€ for FC members. Kits for the kids start at 69,95€ and for our younger members at 62,96€. They are available in FC fanshops and online at www.fc-fanshop.de.
