Introducing: RB Leipzig’s Glow In The Dark football shirt

You know we love a special-edition shirt. And the emphasis here is on special, because this is the first-time ever we’ve auctioned match-worn RB Leipzig shirts signed by the players!

This incredible ‘Glow in the Dark’ shirt debuted in RB Leipzig’s 2-2 draw against Borussia Dortmund in the Bundesliga, in a thriller under the lights at Red Bull Arena.

With Leipzig being known as a footballing talent factory, home to some of the brightest young players in the game, this is a huge opportunity for fans and shirt collectors alike to get their hands on a piece of history. 

Which players wore the RB Leipzig Glow in the Dark shirts?

RB Leipzig’s squad is always stacked with talent. Some of the world’s top players made their way through the Red Bull system – Xavi Simons, Dominik Szoboszlai, and Dani Olmo. 

The current team is no different, with highly rated names like Castello Lukeba, Yan Diomande, Antonio Nusa, Brajan Gruda and more, who all donned the ‘Glow in the Dark’ shirt in the game against Dortmund.

Shirt Story: Christoph Baumgartner 

At just 26 years old, Baumgartner is one of the most senior players to wear the Leipzig shirt right now.

The goals have been flowing for the Austrian in the 2025/26 season, and he continued his rich vein of form against Dortmund with two sharp finishes from close range.

His match-worn and signed shirt is just one of those on offer from this debut auction of RB Leipzig shirts.

The story behind RB Leipzig’s Glow in the Dark shirt

The shirt launched on February 20th with the tagline Energised by Light. Activated at Night, and features fluorescent elements on the front and back. Logo, sponsor, pattern and numbers, all in striking neon blue.

In the club’s own words, “the shirt takes the bond between the club, city and fans to a whole new level, combining cutting-edge textile technology with an artistic portrait of the city, making Leipzig glow in the truest sense of the word.”

The luminescent shirt is another banger from the German side, who famously released a red velvet design back in 2024. The ‘Glow in the Dark’ release for 2026 incorporates iconic elements of different Leipzig districts which come to life when the lights go out.
