The waiting is almost over. On Thursday, 29.05.2008, official outfitter KAPPA and Werder Bremen will present the clubs new home and away ‘Event’ jerseys to the general public in a very unique manner between 2pm and 4pm. Using the motto: ‘Mein letztes Hemd für das neue Werder-Trikot‘ (the shirt off my back for the new Werder jersey), 100 fans will have the chance to claim the new jersey for the 2008/2009 season.
The KAPPA models will be offering to swap shirts at an event to be staged in the forecourt of Bremen’s main railway station. Those selected by the attractive ladies, and are prepared to part with their sweater, shirt, blouse, t-shirt, polo shirt or another jersey, will in turn receive the new Werder Bremen jersey.
Those not lucky enough to be selected can find solace at the Werder-Fanshop. There, a limited number of the new jerseys will go on sale from 12pm. At the railway forecourt, a Werder-Fanmobile will have shirts on sale from 2pm.
For all of those unable to make the event, the new Werder kit will be presented on www.werder.de from midnight on Thursday, 29.05.2008.

Werder Bremen playmaker Diego has thrown down the gauntlet to Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich as far as next season’s title race is concerned.
The north German outfit finished second behind Bayern last season despite enduring a year plagued with injuries to key players and Diego says he believes that he and his team-mates can bring the title back to the Weserstadion in 2009.
“Things will look very different next season,” the 23-year-old told Bild.
“We have got the ability to win the league and we will do everything possible to achieve our goal.
“All the problems we had last season made our second-place finish even more valuable. Nobody could have really expected that,” he added.
Despite losing Germany international Tim Borowski to Bayern this summer, Bremen will be looking to strengthen their squad to challenge the Bavarian giants and sport director Klaus Allofs echoed Diego’s words with regard to their title chances:
“We will not be starting next season with the intention of finishing second again,” noted Allofs.

After spending two years with the Weser Stadion club, neither the club nor the player were interested in extending his current contract which expires on June 30.
The 29 year old didn’t appear for the Green and Whites last season after suffering from injury, while also having problems with club doctor Dr. Götz Dimanski.
However, the Cameroon international has seemingly found a new employer for next season with newly promoted side Cologne his likely destination.
Womé has already met with Cologne manager Michael Meier and should be revealed as their signing in the next few days.
The Rhine club will certainly be getting experience with the signing of Womé. He has had previous spells with Roma, Bologna, Fulham, Espanyol, Brescia and Inter Milan.
