The team's recent successes have been huge, including a double-winning season; however, there have been significant issues with the current supplier Castore, particularly with massive delivery problems that left many fans unable to purchase Bayer jerseys, especially the new 24-25 away kit.
Due to the delivery problems, Bayer 04 now has the option of terminating the contract prematurely, but only for the 2025-2026 season.
