RB Leipzig 2015-16 Nike Home Jersey — "Wir Sind Eins": The Bundesliga Promotion Season

In 2015-16, RB Leipzig was still playing in the 2. Bundesliga — but everyone knew that something historic was being built in eastern Germany. This vintage Nike RB Leipzig home jersey bears the inscription "Wir Sind Eins" ("We Are One"): a slogan that perfectly encapsulates the mindset of a rapidly ascending club, sponsored by Red Bull, and ready to disrupt the established order of German football.

What This Jersey Represents

The 2015-16 season is the year zero of the RB Leipzig myth as we know it today. The club, founded only in 2009, was then in the 2. Bundesliga and was preparing for its first promotion to the German top flight — an ascent that would literally shake up football across the Rhine. Behind this project was a well-oiled machine, solid finances backed by Red Bull, and an ultra-offensive playing style that was starting to get noticed across Europe.

On the field, Ralph Hasenhüttl's men — appointed coach in 2015 — imposed an intense press and an attacking game that far surpassed the level of the second division. Players like Timo Werner, who arrived in January 2016, or Davie Selke, the club's top scorer that season, embodied this uninhibited offensive philosophy. The 2015-16 Nike home jersey was worn during matches that will remain etched in the memory of Red Bull Arena supporters.

Moments Etched in This Jersey

The Historic Promotion to the Bundesliga (May 2016)
By finishing second in the 2. Bundesliga with 66 points, RB Leipzig secured its first promotion to the German top division in its history. This was the culmination of a project built at lightning speed, and this jersey was there to witness it directly.

The Arrival of Timo Werner (January 2016)
By signing Timo Werner from VfB Stuttgart in January 2016, Leipzig sent a strong signal to the entire 2. Bundesliga. The young German striker immediately made an impact and began scoring the goals that would propel the club to the elite — a major transfer, worn under this jersey.

The Slogan "Wir Sind Eins" — A Club Identity
The inscription "Wir Sind Eins" on this jersey is not just a marketing ploy: it is the club's response to the criticisms that were then surfacing from all quarters of German football. A message of unity displayed by players, staff, and supporters who knew they were building something unique and unprecedented in the landscape of German football.

Authentic vs. Replica

A vintage authentic jersey is an item that actually existed in the locker room or in the stands — not a reproduction printed ten years later. The Nike finishes of that era, the original flocking, the cut specific to the standards of the mid-2010s: all of this you won't find on a modern replica. It's a real piece of football history, not a reconstruction.

This one is in 9/10 condition with signatures: that means someone had it signed — probably by players or club staff — and it has been preserved with the utmost care. The dedications add a layer of authenticity and personal history that is, for an RB Leipzig collector's jersey, absolutely priceless.

Vintage Size Guide

Nike jerseys from the 2015-16 period feature fitted cuts, typical of the standards of the time — generally more tapered and shorter than what is found on modern jerseys. An XL from this generation may correspond to a current L depending on your body shape. Do not rely solely on the label.

Before finalizing your order, measure your shoulder width and chest circumference, then compare with the flat measurements of the jersey we provide. This is the only way to be 100% sure that this vintage XL jersey is right for you — and to avoid disappointment upon receiving the package.

Why Have It in Your Collection

This RB Leipzig 2015-16 jersey represents the year zero of an unprecedented footballing adventure in Germany. Before the Bundesliga, before the Champions League semi-finals, before the whole world knew Leipzig: there was this season, this jersey, and this slogan. Finding a vintage Nike RB Leipzig home jersey from this era in circulation is already rare — the club did not yet have the international notoriety that sells millions of jerseys.

There aren't many in this condition with authentic signatures in 9/10 condition. Most jerseys from this period have been worn, washed, damaged, or lost in boxes. This one has been cherished, and it shows. For a collector of vintage football jerseys who has followed the club's history from the beginning, this is clearly a piece to grab without hesitation.
