It takes some getting used to and is certainly dizzying for the opposing strikers. But 1. FC Köln seems to have caught the spirit of the times with the much-discussed new goalkeeper jersey…
The shrill, colorful “Clowns jersey” – as many fans are already calling it on social networks – has only been on the market for four days and is already a hit in the Bundesliga club’s fan shops.

Sales figures as usual only after the first half of the season
FC Managing Director Markus Rejek (45) to BILD: “We have already sold as many goalkeeper jerseys as we usually do after the first half of the season.” This could make the Schwäbe dress the most successful keeper jersey in the club’s history.
Despite all the malice and fan criticism on the Internet, it’s already a bestseller. The FC was convinced of the success of the jersey and had enough keeper outfits made as a precaution (around 2000). However, if the boom continues like this, the club will certainly have to order more from outfitter Hummel.

The FC courage pays off in any case. Cologne presented the new home jerseys on Monday. While the team is playing as a white ballet in memory of the first Cologne Bundesliga champions from 1963/64, things are getting wild and colorful for keeper Marvin Schwäbe (28).
The rainbow jersey is a copy of the former 90s cult outfit with which Denmark legend Peter Schmeichel (59) became European champion in 1992. 31 years later, the honeycomb pattern still works.
FC women bet on white
The Cologne Bundesliga women, on the other hand, remain classic. Like the men at home, they will also wear all white in the coming season. What is new, however, is Telekom as a prominent shirt sponsor on the chest.
