Introducing: Werder Bremen special-edition 2026 Inclusion football shirt

We are diversity. Wir sind Vielfalt.

Ten years. That's how long Werder Bremen have been holding their annual Matchday for Inclusion — a home game where the club puts everything behind one message.

In 2026, the players will wear a special-edition shirt for the occasion. And you can own one, match-worn and signed!

Here's everything you need to know.

The story behind Werder Bremen's Inclusion shirt

The sponsor logo is gone. In its place, in bold script across the chest: "Wir sind Vielfalt" — We are Diversity.

That's the central message of a shirt designed specifically for Werder Bremen's 10th Matchday for Inclusion, created in collaboration with kit supplier Hummel and designer Maria Elektra.

The design itself nods to the late 1980s and early '90s, with green and cream vertical stripes and a dark green collar.

But the detail that sets it apart is on the shoulders: "WERDER" and "VIELFALT" are in Braille lettering, so blind and visually impaired fans can physically read the shirt's message.

Which players wore the Werder Bremen Inclusion shirt?

Werder Frauen: worn vs. SGS Essen, 29 March

The Werder Bremen women's team wore the Inclusion shirt at home against SGS Essen on 29 March in the Frauen-Bundesliga in a 2-1 win.

The women's squad is the first to have worn it in a competitive match: Mara Halber and Lina Hausicke scored in the game and those are the two most sought-after shirts.

The men's team: worn vs. RB Leipzig, 4 April

The Werder Bremen men's team are set to don the Inclusion shirt for the Bundesliga home match against RB Leipzig on April 4th at the Weserstadion.
