Overview
- Schalke revealed the special edition on December 9 following a December 7 teaser that hinted at the drop date.
- The dark‑green shirt features Adidas, S04 and Gelsenkirchen crests aligned on the chest, a rear flock reading “Gelsenkirchen‑Schalke,” and optional sleeve customization with one of the city’s 18 districts.
- Main sponsor Sun Minimeals ceded its chest placement for this edition to highlight the city symbols.
- The club reported limited availability at €99.95 for adults and €79.95 for children, the online shop was immediately overloaded with long queues at the fanshop, and the jerseys were quickly sold out online with no restock planned.
- The team will wear the kit against 1. FC Nürnberg on December 13, match‑worn shirts will be auctioned for Schalke hilft!, and at least €50,000 from sales proceeds will go to social projects.
