1. FC Köln started the 2017-2018 season with high hopes. The club had managed to qualify for the Europa League—its first European competition in 25 years. The euphoria was short-lived: elimination in the group stage and bottom of the Bundesliga all year long: relegation. A season not to be forgotten, in every sense.
This is the fourth kit from that year, manufactured by Erima—the German brand that outfitted Köln during that period and has a long history in German football. Featuring the nameset of Frederik Sørensen, the Danish central defender who was a starter that season, with the number 4.
