Pink jerseys: colour of the future or marketing gimmick?
When you think of football shirts, bright colours such as red, blue or yellow usually spring to mind. But recently, one colour has been shaking up the football world: pink! Find out what it's all about in this article.

With the introduction of the pink away kit for the German national team, the DFB has sparked a wave of enthusiasm as well as criticism. However, the striking pink kits are by no means a completely new phenomenon in professional football. Some Bundesliga clubs, like Werder Bremen with the legendary Tim Wiese in goal, have already played in pink kits in the past. Additionally, superstar Lionel Messi surprised the football world with a pink kit at Inter Miami in the American MLS.
Germany's pink jersey sensation - fail or success?
Against this historical background, the outrage of some football fans at the presentation of the pink DFB jersey was hardly surprising. In a BILD survey, 48% of over 64,000 respondents said that the pink jersey was a complete failure. Only 31% thought it was a success and 20% said it was "okay". But despite these divided opinions, the pink jersey achieved a sensational sales record and became a million-seller! The DFB and kit supplier Adidas have obviously managed to convince the majority of fans of the bold design. One important factor was certainly the visual link between the colour pink and identification figures such as the national team players. A skilful marketing move in which the supposed "pink bias" was simply consistently ignored. The humorous response to criticism on social media also contributed to the success.
