Miscellaneous: First time without the Bayer Cross
23.02.1991: Bayer 04 wear kit with product advertising for the first time in a 2-1 defeat against Bayern Munich: Talcid, a Bayer treatment for stomach problems, is the sponsor’s name on the shirt.
The photo session for the new autograph cards and the new team photo took three days. As a background there is a new banner presented by Bayer 04 fans on the matchday against Bayern Munich. The fans carry the massive banner through the stadium. It is raised in the home end in Block A before kick-off. It was not until May 2019, as part of the 40-year anniversary celebrations of being in the Bundesliga, that the Werkself played with the Bayer Cross on their shirts - along with many other events - bringing a touch of nostalgia to the stadium.
