JAKO will remain the official technical supplier of Rot-Weiss Essen until at least summer 2026. The team sports specialist from Baden-Württemberg and the 3.Liga (third division) club have extended the contract for another three years. The contract was signed during Rot-Weiss Essen’s home game against Borussia Dortmund’s U-23.
“We have a unique partnership with Rot-Weiss Essen, which we have been shaping together very successfully since 2017,” said Tobias Röschl, Director Marketing & Sales at JAKO. “We are very proud to be able to develop extraordinary jerseys and special jerseys with the traditional club every year. The special jersey ‘100 Jahre Hafenstraße’ from the 2020/21 season or the special jersey ’70 Jahre kurze fuffzehn’ from last season will be remembered as great projects. Another emotional highlight of the past contract period was, of course, the promotion to the 3rd league last summer. We are looking forward to the coming years and many more highlights!”
RWE board member Marcus Uhlig said, “The good partnership is expressed not least in our home jerseys. The individual outfits created in cooperation with our agency ALTOBELLI and JAKO are incredibly popular with the fans. Whether the iconic RWE song ‘Opa Luscheskowski’ in pinstripes or the implied Westkurve on the jersey: JAKO is a flexible and reliable partner when it comes to integrating extraordinary ideas and ideas. In particular, the jersey in which we achieved promotion to the third division in 2022 remains in mind: the integrated Essen city map combines this unique experience for every fan and athlete with the deep connection to our hometown.”
In the coming contract period, JAKO will continue to equip all Rot-Weiss Essen teams quickly and reliably with game, training and leisure clothing.
