Bochum 24-25 "May Evening Festival" Special Kit Released

VfL Bochum 1848 has today launched a new Sondertrikot (special kit) celebrating the city's historic "Maiabendfest" (May Evening Festival). Made by Mizuno, the kit commemorates the 637th anniversary of the traditional festival.

This special Bochum kit celebrates the Maiabendfest, one of Germany's oldest traditional festivals, which takes place from April 24th to 27th, 2025. The festival marks Bochum's triumph over neighbours Dortmund in 1388 when the "Bochum Boys" retrieved stolen livestock. VfL Bochum will actively participate in the festival, including joining the parade on April 26th.

Bochum 2025 Maiabend Special Kit

The Bochum Maiabend special kit is predominantly a vibrant blue, featuring a subtle tonal pattern across the fabric. A striking diagonal Sash cuts across the front of the jersey, inspired by the classic outfits of the Maiabendfest.

A unique detail of the VfL Bochum 2025 Maiabend Special Kit is the special motto printed on the back of the neck: „Junge, do kass di drop verloten!“ (Roughly translates to "Boy, you can rely on that!").

The team will debut the VfL Bochum Sondertrikot in their upcoming home match against Union Berlin, coinciding with the festival weekend.
