The new 1. FC Köln away jersey for the new 2025-26 season is now available online on fc.de and in FC fanshops. FC travel in red to away games. The away jersey, designed with FC partner, hummel, features a subtle red colour gradient with iridescent red stripes and a special fabric in a jacquard pattern.
"FC fans carry the club's colours far beyond the city limits. Whether it’s on the train, on the bus or together in the car. The beautiful moments of victories, standing together in the face of defeat – these are the experiences that unite us. That's what our new away jersey stands for," explained FC Managing Director, Philipp Liesenfeld. Because even at 1. FC Köln's away matches, FC fans are never alone. The away end is like a family: away days together in red. Because FC is where we are.
The characteristic collar of the away jersey is in white and red, with the FC badge and hummel logo stitched onto the kit in their usual manner. At the bottom of the hem is the lettering ‘1. FC KÖLN x HUMMEL’ and ‘1. FC KÖLN - 1948 - 1. FC KÖLN.’ on the neck area. The sponsor logos with REWE bonus on the chest and DEVK on the sleeve, as well as the Hummel chevrons on the sides of the jersey under the arms in white, round off the design of the away jersey. The shorts of the away kit feature a reversed red colour gradient, while the socks are in matching red.
With the new 1. FC Köln away jersey, we wanted to create something that feels both bold and deeply connected to the club’s identity. In close collaboration with the club, we’ve designed a jersey that captures the spirit of the away fans and the passion that follows the team wherever they go. We’re proud to be a part of this continued journey with FC and to give supporters a kit that embodies what it means to stand united – home or away,“ said Morten Lund, hummel’s Marketing Director.
The new FC home kit is now available for 89,95 Euro (adults, FC members for 81,96 Euro) and for 69,95 Euro (kids, FC members for 62,96 Euro) in shops and online at fc.de.
