Rot-Weiss Essen

Deeply woven into the industrial fabric of the Ruhrgebiet, Rot-Weiss Essen was founded on February 1, 1907, and has since become a legendary name in German football. Affectionately known as "RWE," the club is a true powerhouse of tradition, famously winning the DFB-Pokal in 1953 and reaching the summit of the game as German Champions in 1955. For generations, the heart of the club has been the Stadion an der Hafenstraße, a ground renowned for its raw, authentic atmosphere and a fanbase whose loyalty remains unshakable regardless of the league.

The club’s history is illuminated by the legendary Helmut Rahn, the "Boss" who scored the winning goal in the 1954 World Cup final, as well as the prolific Horst Hrubesch and the iconic Willi "Ente" Lippens. These figures helped define a club that stands for grit, passion, and local identity. The team’s identity is perfectly captured by its classic red and white football shirt, a bold and timeless design that radiates a sense of historic pride and remains a cherished symbol of the city's enduring footballing soul.

JAKO

JAKO's founding date is not a coincidence — it is part of the story. On 9 November 1989, the day the Berlin Wall fell and a nation held its breath, Rudi Sprügel registered his sportswear company in a garage in Stachenhausen, a small town in the Hohenlohe region of Baden-Württemberg. His idea was straightforward: outfit every club between the Jagst and Kocher rivers fast and reliably. The name JAKO came from those two rivers. The philosophy has never changed. Today, over 250,000 teams in more than 50 countries trust JAKO to do exactly that — from Sunday league sides to Bundesliga professionals.
