New Balance and Bayer Leverksuen have started their new partnership in style, unveiling their home kit for the 2025/26 season.

Having announced their link-up earlier this year, the new season marks the first outing between the two, ending the club's three-year deal with Castore. The launch for this year's jersey pays tribute to Leverkusen's roots, with a design shaped by the Bayer Cross, a symbol rooted in the city's ties to science and medicine.

Arriving in club colours, the jersey's black base features subtle stripes, which, at a closer glance, are comprised of small crosses that feature in white and red. Unlike the all-black collar, the jersey's sleeves are cuffed at the end with a red trim, while both the NB logo and club crest feature in red with black detailing.

The design's crossed gradient fades its way across the torso, with the two white stripes struck through by a larger red cross. The textured look matches up well with the scale-like pattern of New Balance's NB DRYx technology, a system that sees ventilation spots feature in specific areas to keep things cool in the heat.

The New Balance and Bayer Leverkusen 2025/26 home shirt is available now online and via select retailers.
