The club, relegated to the 2. Bundesliga at the end of the 2011-12 season, tried to rebuild and regain its place in the elite of German football. It is in this context of struggle and resilience that this \u003cstrong\u003eErima home jersey\u003c\/strong\u003e was worn — a Zweite Liga season that engaged the entire club in a promotion project, and its supporters in unconditional loyalty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"line-height:1.8;margin-bottom:20px;\"\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eRheinEnergieStadion\u003c\/strong\u003e continued to buzz despite the lower division — that's Köln, a people's club that never gives up. Players like \u003cstrong\u003eLukas Podolski\u003c\/strong\u003e had already made their mark on the club's history before going on to shine elsewhere, and their legacy hangs over every difficult season.
