What this jersey represents

The 2007-2008 Werder Bremen season was one of a club established in the middle tier of German football—solidly established in the Bundesliga, present in European competitions, ambitious without being a title favorite. Thomas Schaaf's team at the time had one of the most technical and entertaining squads in German football. Kappa, the club's long-standing kit manufacturer, dressed this Werder team in a simple and recognizable home kit, sponsored by Citibank—a typical international banking partnership of the mid-2000s.

This jersey bears the name set of Diego—meaning Diego Ribas da Cunha, the Brazilian playmaker who arrived in 2006 and became, within a few months, one of the most exciting players in the Bundesliga. Alongside Miroslav Klose, Torsten Frings, and Mesut Özil, who was making his debut for the green and white, Diego was the offensive engine of a Werder team that loved to play real football. This women's version jersey was not a gimmick: it was the official item, with the same technical cut, same fabric, same name set—just adapted for a different body type.

Moments etched in this jersey

Diego, the Brazilian who thrilled Germany
Recruited from FC Porto, Diego Ribas immediately confirmed his ability to dictate play at a European level at Werder. His vision, technique, and long-range shots made him one of the most feared number 10s in the Bundesliga between 2006 and 2009.

Werder in Europe — a regular presence
At that time, Werder Bremen was a safe bet in European cups. The 2007-2008 season saw them compete in the UEFA Cup, maintaining the rank of a club accustomed to playing on two fronts, with a squad built to last in the competition.

Özil, the beginnings of a legend
It was in this same Kappa jersey that young Mesut Özil began to establish himself professionally with Werder, before truly exploding onto the European scene. Wearing this jersey means wearing the era when all of this was germinating, before the great flights.

Authentic vs. Replica

An authentic vintage jersey is the official item marketed by the club at the time—not a reproduction, not a copy produced years later to fuel nostalgia. The fabric, the cut, the printing techniques for logos and sponsors: everything corresponds to the production standards of 2007. That's what makes the difference in the eyes of a true collector.

This one is in 8/10 condition with the mention "LITTLE USED PRINTINGS": the Diego name set shows slight wear from use, which is exactly what you expect from a jersey that has a history. The main fabric, however, is in very good condition. This is not a jersey fresh out of vacuum-sealed packaging—it's a vintage Werder Bremen jersey with a story, and it shows.

Vintage Size Guide

Vintage jerseys from the 2000s systematically run smaller than current standards. A Women's M from 2007-2008 often corresponds to what would today be called an S or XS, depending on modern brands. The cut at the time was more fitted, less oversized—nothing like the loose fits found on contemporary replicas.

Before finalizing your purchase, take a measuring tape and measure your chest circumference and shoulder width. Then compare these measurements with the actual dimensions of the jersey—which we can provide upon request. A collector's jersey that doesn't fit is a missed opportunity. It's better to take two minutes to check.

Why have it in your collection

A Kappa Werder Bremen home jersey 2007-08 with Diego's name set in a women's version is a rare piece. Official women's versions from that era were produced in smaller quantities than men's versions—they disappeared from shelves faster, and fewer survived the years. Finding a numbered jersey of an emblematic player like Diego is the perfect combination for a serious collector or a fan of vintage German football.

In 8/10 condition with only slight wear on the name set, this jersey is in genuinely honest condition for its age. Not many in this condition are still circulating—most have either disappeared or suffered more damage. This one was worn with care, and it shows. This is exactly the kind of piece that gains value as the years pass and the Diego-Özil generation becomes a reference era in the club's history.
