SV Werder Bremen, based in Bremen, Germany, compete in the Bundesliga, and the club’s origins trace to 1899, with the organisation recorded on 01 January 1899 in our reference data. At Walkouts you will find a focused selection of signed football shirts and framed pieces that link the club’s long history to collector provenance, with descriptions that note match provenance, player-issue variants and production runs.
The team are best known for their domestic success and cup pedigree, playing home matches at the Weserstadion since the early 20th century, and their trophy cabinet includes a run of DFB-Pokal wins and four German championships. On the continental stage Werder lifted the European Cup Winners' Cup, and today they are also recognised in global club lists, ranked 184 by IFFHS in comparative club tables.
Collectors pay special attention to anniversary pieces, notably the club’s centenary release. The 1999 commemorative run, marked by a bespoke crest and limited shirt treatments, is an important entry in many collections, and later anniversary editions continue that theme, offering distinct stitching, badges and packaging that mark the milestone, including the 2024 retro crest releases.
Season and fixture magnets carry strong provenance value. Shirts from the 1991-92 Cup Winners' Cup campaign are pursued for their link to Werder’s European title, while the 2003-04 squad is prized because it completed a domestic double. The 2008-09 season also remains of interest after a DFB-Pokal win and a deep UEFA Cup run, so shirts and match-issued items from those seasons command attention from historians and long-term fans.
Away kits and cup programmes often define a collector’s set, and Werder examples are no exception. Fans seek out retail and fanshop issues as well as player-issue pieces from early runs, and regional or player-limited releases are specifically chased. Knowledgeable collectors note supplier eras across Adidas, Nike and Umbro, and provenance often ties to matchday programs, framed presentation, or distinctive sleeve and crest variants.
The white away set from the club’s 2008-09 UEFA Cup campaign remains an iconic collector focus, the lighter colourway used throughout that continental run making surviving examples recognisable and photomatched in archives; authenticated pieces with 2008-09 white away provenance and a verified COA are especially sought after by buyers looking for documented retail signatures or framed displays.
Practical provenance matters, and Werder pieces that can be tied to the 2003-04 double season or the 1991-92 Cup Winners' Cup campaign carry clear match and roster significance. Items linked to the Nordderby and matchdays at Weserstadion, and shirts associated with DFB-Pokal finals, continue to surface at auctions and specialist shops, and the Walkouts selection highlights those seasons and match connections for collectors researching framed, signed and limited editions.
