1. FC Köln 2025/26 hummel Karneval Kit

German Bundesliga club 1. FC Köln and kit partner hummel have unveiled the club’s 2025/26 Karneval Kit, paying tribute to the countless volunteers who dedicate their time and energy to keeping Köln’s famous festivities alive.

Under this year’s motto, “Alaaf – Mer dun et för Kölle” (“Alaaf – We do it for Cologne”), the new design celebrates community spirit and the city’s unmistakable Karneval identity.

Inspired by classic Karneval outfit, the 1. FC Köln 25/26 Fastelovend jersey features bold red and white hoops and will, for the first time, be released exclusively as a traditional long-sleeved shirt. Crafted entirely from 100% recycled polyester, the design incorporates tonal all-over prints of Köln’s most iconic symbols — the city’s coat of arms, the cathedral, and the crown.

The gold-crowned city badge is placed proudly at the centre of the chest, while the neckline carries the inscription “1. FC KÖLN – 1948 – 1. FC KÖLN.” On the back of the neck sits this year’s official motto from the Kölner Karneval Festival Committee.

The 1. FC Köln 2025/26 Karneval jersey is limited to 11,111 pieces. Fans will see it in action when the men’s team wears it on Sunday, 2 November 2025, against Hamburger SV at RheinEnergieSTADION, while the women’s side will debut it a week later on Sunday, 9 November 2025, against TSG Hoffenheim at Franz-Kremer-Stadion.
