Not holding back for this years' festivities, 1. FC Cologne have got suitably suited for the annual 'Karvenal' that takes place in the city.

What's more, many would throw down a Karneval shirt as a novelty number but the good folk behind the scenes at 1. FC Cologne along with kit supplier 'Erima' have put a smart celebration together. As the video above shows, inspiration comes in the shape of a traditional tunic, tassels and all.

Some description

Keeping in place the shirt sponsor and club crest while dropping the coat of arms, it's something the locals can be proud of and wear well this winter. Labelled as 'The Red Sparks of Müngersdorf', there's no better time to add this to your wardrobe. You're re-introducing football shirt Friday right? Tattoos, Fedora and Cologne Karnival kit. You'll absolutely own it. Pick one up here. May as well add one of these to the basket while you're there. Great merch.
