This farewell kit was debuted during a UEFA Nations League match against the Netherlands, which also marked the first match under new German head coach Jürgen Klopp. The DFB’s decision to switch sponsors is reportedly driven by the pursuit of a more lucrative contract to fund grassroots football development.

The men’s away kit is expected to utilize a ‘Green Spark’ colorway, while the women’s away kit is predicted to feature a ‘Hyper Pink/Volt’ scheme.
