For 1. FC Köln fans, a jersey is not just a piece of cloth. It is an item of clothing that is able to show the love and passion to the club at every moment. In order to bring this special feeling to the fore, 1. FC Köln and kit supplier, hummel have created the new home jersey for the 2025-26 season with this in mind – a statement for everyday and not just for home games.
“The people who love FC don’t just have the love for the club in their heart but on their skin. For many FC fans, this feeling is not only an important expression of their solidarity with the club on matchday in the stadium, but also in everyday life,” explained FC Managing Director, Philipp Liesenfeld. Thanks to the new home jersey in red and white, FC fans always look the part. No matter what the dresscode. All are part of the big FC family and can confidently show themselves in everyday life – no matter where, no matter when.
“At hummel, we believe that a football shirt is more than just something you wear on match day - it's a symbol of identity, pride and daily passion. With the new 1. FC Köln home jersey, we wanted to capture the unique spirit of the FC community and bring it into the everyday lives of fans. Whether in the stadium, on the street or at work, we hope that both the players and the fans will wear the new jersey with pride,” sagt Morten Lund, Marketing Director at hummel.
The red and white stripes on the jersey have always been warmly welcomed by FC fans. The jersey is made of 100% recycled polyester with a subtle muster and a collar in red and white. The FC badge on the left side of the chest and the hummel logo on the opposite side are tastefully stitched, while the “1. FC KÖLN x HUMMEL” and the authenticity label is found at the bottom of the jersey. The REWE Bonus logo is found in the middle of the jersey, with DEVK on the shoulder. The hummel-typical chevrons are under the arms. “1. FC KÖLN – 1948 – 1. FC KÖLN” is inside the neck area, as well as a monochrome FC badge. The shorts and socks are in all-white.
The new FC home kit is now available for 89.95€ (adults, FC members 81.96€) and 69.95€ (children, FC members 62.96€) in all FC fanships, as well as online on www.fc.de.
