FC Köln, who were founded on February 13, 1948, are therefore expected to wear the special shirt at a home match in early 2023. This coincides with the height of Karneval celebrations, when Köln would normally wear their Karneval kits.
Like Erima's 2018 anniversary shirt, Hummel's rendition may also have a retro-look. Erima's all-white effort was inspired by the 1963-64 league-winning season.
