Bayer Leverkusen release vibrant new third kit
With the new season just around the corner, Bayer Leverkusen have released a vibrant new third kit, reflecting the identity of the Rhineland city they call home.
Recent campaigns have seen Leverkusen release third kits that play around with different shades of blue to brilliant effect and this season is no different. Their new third kit for 2025/26 stands out for the combination of blue and cyan.
With the club looking to start a new chapter with the "same spirit", the new jersey features the iconic Bayer cross, overlapping in a striking design reminiscent of puzzle pieces.
The overlapping crosses form an abstract modern interpretation of the club's storied history with the Rhineland city of Leverkusen.
The club's logo is entirely blue as part of the new design too. The back of the shirt is a solid blue colour, while the collar features "Werkself" (Bayer's nickname) in a bold print as a nice little detail.
The sleeves feature a combination of white and cyan around the cuffs, adding another element to the overall look.
Leverkusen could debut new third jersey during upcoming friendlies against Pisa (5 August) or Chelsea (8 August). The new season starts with DFB Cup first-round action against Sonnenhof Großaspach on 15 August, before their Bundesliga campaign gets under way on 23 August against Hoffenheim.
The shirt is available to purchase via Bayer's online shop. The price for adults is €94.90 and €69.90 for children.
