What this jersey represents

The 2006-07 Werder Bremen season is part of a long sequence of excellence for the club from the Weser. After the Bundesliga title in 2004 and the DFB-Pokal final in 2006, the Green-and-Whites — or rather Schaaf's men, to stick to the rules — maintained constant pressure on Bayern Munich and remained a sure bet in European football. The club participated in the 2006-07 UEFA Cup, confirming its status as an ambitious club, well beyond the Bundesliga.

That season, the squad was simply captivating. Diego Ribas, who arrived from FC Porto for approximately 6 million euros, immediately established himself as the team's offensive orchestrator — technical, unpredictable, dazzling. Around him were names that made the eyes of any Bundesliga fan of that era light up: Miroslav Klose, a world-class striker; Torsten Frings as a midfield sentinel; Per Mertesacker in central defense; and Frank Baumann as captain. A solid team, led by an extraordinary tactician.

Moments etched in this jersey

Diego, the arrival of a genius in Bremen
Transferred from Porto in summer 2006, Diego Ribas exploded onto the European scene in his first season with Werder. His vision, his through passes, and his long-range shots immediately made him one of the most exciting attacking midfielders in the 2006-07 Bundesliga.

A formidable Werder on the European stage
In the UEFA Cup, Bremen shone against high-level opponents, proudly representing German football on the continental stage. Every away trip, every jersey worn on a foreign pitch, is exactly what this authentic piece represents.

Bundesliga at full throttle
Domestically, Werder, with Ivan Klasnić, Miroslav Klose, and Diego, fought an intense battle in the standings, regularly finishing in the top spots of the Bundesliga. This 2006-07 season confirmed that the Bremen club was far more than a bit player in the German championship.

Authentic vs. Replica

An authentic vintage jersey is a jersey designed to be worn on a field, not sold in a souvenir shop. The materials are different, the finishes more technical, the flocking applied using professional processes. You're not holding a merchandise item in your hands — you're holding what the players actually wore during matches.

This one displays an 8/10 condition, with some small snags and slightly worn prints — which is exactly what you'd expect from an authentic vintage Kappa jersey that has seen real seasons. Not damaged, not disfigured: just carrying its history. These small marks are a sign of time passing, not a defect.

Vintage Size Guide

Vintage Kappa sizes from the 2000s are consistently narrower and shorter than modern cuts. A 2006 size S often corresponds to a contemporary XS in terms of chest circumference, and the torso length is significantly reduced compared to current standards. If you're used to modern loose-fit jerseys, anticipate going up one size.

Before confirming your order, measure your chest circumference in centimeters and compare it with the flat measurements of the jersey if available. Simple measurement: place the tape measure under your armpits, flat against your chest. For a vintage S, allow for approximately 90-96 cm maximum chest circumference for a snug fit.

Why have it in your collection

The Werder Bremen 2006-07 Kappa away jersey flocked with Diego brings together everything a serious collector looks for: a historic Bundesliga club during a great period, a cult equipment manufacturer that designs pieces with often audacious designs, and the flocking of a player who marked his era. Diego in Bremen is a love story between a Brazilian genius and a German club — and this jersey is its official document.

There aren't thousands of authentic Werder Bremen jerseys from this era in good condition, with player flocking and period sponsor, circulating on the market. At 8/10 with honest and controlled wear, this one is clearly at the top of what can still be found. There aren't many in this condition, with this flocking, in this size — if you're looking for this piece, you already know it.
