Schalke 04 unveiled their new 08/10 home shirt made by adidas The new home kit will be used for the next two seasons.
The club was founded on May 4, 1904 as Westfalia Schalke by a group of high school students and first wore the colors red and yellow. In 1924, the football team parted ways with the gymnasts once again – this time taking the club chairman along with them.
They took the name FC Schalke 04 and adopted the now familiar blue and white uniforms from which their second nickname would derive – "Die Königsblauen" (The Royal Blues).
