Eintracht Frankfurt and its equipment manufacturer Jako say, "Thank you". More than 600 supporters and friends of Eintracht Frankfurt followed the call, to send in proposals for a new design for the away - and home shirts for the Bundesliga 2008/09 season.
In an online survey of registered users on the official club website, eintracht.de were 16 creations. There were two clear winners: a space-occupied white jersey, which on the front had a large black cross. And landed in second place, closely behind, a model, which on the front shows supposed eagle claws.
After careful consideration, they decided not to realize the winning jersey with the cross, as the symbol on the front has a religious background. Because the traditional Italian club Inter Milan received sharp criticism wearing a similar jersey in the current Champions League competition, Eintracht Frankfurt decided after careful consideration to choose for the second winner, the one with the claws.
