Eintracht Frankfurt 2013-14 Jersey – Jako, Schwegler, and the Reawakening Frankfurt Eagle

The 2013-14 season marked a serious repositioning for Eintracht Frankfurt in the Bundesliga landscape after years of turbulence. This Jako home jersey, featuring Schwegler's name and sponsored by Alfa Romeo, is a direct artifact from a pivotal period for the club — when the Eagle's identity was being rebuilt, match after match, in the Commerzbank-Arena.

What this jersey represents

In 2013-14, Eintracht Frankfurt was a club constantly rebuilding, but with a core of players who were beginning to forge a true playing identity. The club remained firmly entrenched in the Bundesliga, navigating the mid-table while striving to establish itself as a tough team to beat at home. The Commerzbank-Arena — now Deutsche Bank Park — is one of Germany's most intimidating venues, and this jersey directly reflects that.

Swiss midfielder Pirmin Schwegler was one of the emblematic players of this period. Solid, unspectacular but indispensable in midfield, he perfectly embodied the spirit of this Eintracht team: hard work, commitment, and rarely wavering loyalty to the club. Around him, names like Stefan Aigner, Olivier Occéan, and Alex Meier — one of the most loyal strikers in the club's recent history — formed a squad capable of challenging Germany's top teams on a good day.

Moments etched into this jersey

Alex Meier, local scoring machine
In 2013-14, Alex Meier continued to rack up goals for Eintracht, confirming his status as a living legend of the club. Little known outside Germany but adored in Frankfurt, he was the offensive figure around whom the Eagles' entire attacking play revolved.

Schwegler, the discreet midfield boss
Pirmin Schwegler, whose name adorns this jersey, is a defensive midfielder who never makes a fuss but whose absence is immediately noticeable. His presence in the starting eleven this season symbolized the stability sought by Frankfurt's technical staff.

Jako and Alfa Romeo: a partnership rooted in club culture
The duo of Jako as kit manufacturer and Alfa Romeo as sponsor represents a specific era in Eintracht's visual history — before massive contracts and global kit manufacturers. It's an authentic German football club jersey: serious, identity-driven, without frills.

Authentic vs. Replica

An authentic vintage jersey is not a factory-produced souvenir shop item. It's a piece that existed in the locker room, on a body, in the real context of a Bundesliga season. The finishes, the fabric weight, the quality of the prints and flocking: everything differs from a standard supporter's replica. On an authentic jersey, every detail speaks directly to the discerning eye of the collector.

This jersey is in 9/10 condition, which is exceptional for a piece from this era. The Alfa Romeo sponsor is intact, and the Schwegler flocking is legible and well-preserved. You have before you a jersey that has clearly been respected — not a damp box bottom, not a piece damaged by years of neglect. Serious quality.

Vintage Size Guide

Vintage Jako jerseys from this generation run significantly smaller than modern cuts. A vintage XS/S often corresponds to someone between 1.65m and 1.75m tall with a contained chest circumference. Don't rely solely on the label: the proportions, straight cut, and less elastic fabric of the era completely change the feel when worn.

Before buying, take your measurements: chest circumference and back length. Compare them with the actual measurements of the jersey that we provide on request. This is the only way to be certain that the item will fit you — and to avoid the disappointment of a collector's jersey remaining in its bag due to incorrect sizing.

Why own it for your collection

Vintage Eintracht Frankfurt jerseys from the 2010s are still undervalued in the European collector's market — and that won't last. The club's popularity has exploded since its victory in the UEFA Europa League 2022, and fans of retro football jerseys are beginning to trace the club's history. A piece like this, with a real player's name and a sponsor as identifiable as Alfa Romeo, is exactly what savvy collectors look for before prices skyrocket.

In 9/10 condition with an intact sponsor, this jersey is at the top of what's available on the market. There aren't many in this condition with a personalized flocking — and even fewer in XS/S, which remains a rare size in collections of vintage Bundesliga jerseys. If you're looking for a clean, straightforward piece steeped in real history, you've come to the right place.
