This is the SV Werder Bremen “Adios Piza” Reversible shirt from Umbro.
A tribute to Werder legend Claudio “Piza” Pizarro, the release features two distinct sides - one in tonal green to represent the German Bundesliga side and one in white with a coloured sash as a nod to Pizarro’s national side, Peru.
The patterning on the sash - in green, pink and purple, which replaces the red Peru actually wear - is repeated on the cuffs whichever way round the shirt is worn, while the “Werder” side’s patterning includes notes of the many “Grün-Weißen” campaigns Pizarro played a part in.

Furthermore, the Peru side features a “crest” logo based on the retired player’s famous goal celebration - where Werder’s club badge is positioned on the reverse - Pizarro’s number 14 appears on the backs, and the logos of joint sponsors Green Legend and Matthäi are similarly placed on the opposite sides, all in preparation for the Peruvian’s “farewell fiesta” on 24th September.
