In six days time the best kept secret in Bremen will be released to the world. The new jerseys which Werder will wear in the hunt for the title next season will be put on display for the first time. Both of Werder’s kit men, Detlef Kollra and Uwe Behrens, are playing their cards close to their chests though. The pair are two of the very few people at the club who have had the opportunity to see the new kit in full. The new jerseys have been hidden away in the catacombs of the Weser Stadium for two weeks now.

 

Frings, Fitz, Mertesacker & Co. Will start into the first month of the season with around 700 of the new shirts: “During the course of the whole season the team will use about 2,000 jerseys but the first delivery will do us for a while”, explained Detlef Kollra, whose first week at the start of the season will be one of the busiest of the year. “The season is already well underway for us. It’s not just the shirts that we are taking in this week but also the shorts, socks, tracksuits, Jackets and shoes.” For each individual player there will be three pairs of flip-flops, two pairs of trainers and four pairs of football boots delivered. “There will be equipment for about 30 players, the trainer team and the team assistants delivered, you can imagine the amount of traffic going through here at the moment”, remarked Behrens, who along with his colleague is responsible for the chaotic pile of boxes, bags, shelving and lists of equipment.

 

The players area at the moment looks more like a warehouse at the moment with the entryway distinctly difficult to pass. Following deliveries from five trucks a fortnight ago a further truckload lands every other day. “We unload everything, open it, count it and sort it whilst filtering out the damaged goods. The more fussy that we are about this now, the less problems we will be faced with over the next ten months when we need the right shirt, shower gel or tie to hand”, noted Behrens.

 

To add to all of this upheaval in preparing for the season, there is also the need to pack up for the first trainings camp on Norderney. The team bikes are currently being given the once over by a specialist firm with glasses and helmets already laid out in the locker area. Trainings equipment such as cones, hurdles and bibs are already waiting for collection at the weekend in a neighbouring store room. A completely empty coach will be loaded with all the essential as a trailer, as in previous years, no longer suffices. “We transport everything to the island the day before training gets underway so that Thomas Schaaf can start straight away on Monday.”

 

By then, Behrens and Kollra will expect to have received the shirts which have been sent away for printing by a service agent. “Should we have a last minute addition to the squad we can print these things ourselves. We have a machine in the office for emergencies”, explained Kollra. There can now be no more mistakes which can be made prior to the official presentation of the new kit on Monday, 02.07.2007 at 11:15am. Public sales of the new jersey is planned for 09.07.2007.
