A club’s logos define its identity. A fan’s passion and creativity can give rise to a design that celebrates the 120th anniversary of a historic German football club. This is what happened with Arminia Bielefeld. The 120th anniversary is being celebrated with a Anniversary Kit whose design was chosen in a competition involving the fans of the The Armenians. In the end, out of the nearly 500 entries received from over 250 designers, the project submitted by Arthur – a keen enthusiast of creation and multimedia design – was selected. Macron He then went on to produce the special kit.

A special kit to celebrate a special birthday, featuring not only the German club’s traditional colours but also all the logos that have identified the team from its inception to the present day, starting with the first one on the chest, which has been redesigned in a gold, embossed version.
