Introducing: RB Leipzig’s Glow-in-the-Dark soccer jersey
Published February 26, 2026
You know we love a special-edition shirt. And the emphasis here is on special, because this is the first time ever we’ve auctioned match-worn RB Leipzig shirts signed by the players!
This incredible ‘Glow in the Dark’ shirt debuted in RB Leipzig’s 2-2 draw against Borussia Dortmund in the Bundesliga, in a thriller under the lights at Red Bull Arena.
With Leipzig known as a soccer talent factory and home to some of the brightest young players in the game, this is a huge opportunity for fans and shirt collectors alike to get their hands on a piece of history.
Which players wore the RB Leipzig Glow in the Dark shirts?
RB Leipzig’s squad is always stacked with talent. Some of the world’s top players made their way through the Red Bull system – Xavi Simons, Dominik Szoboszlai, and Dani Olmo.
The current team is no different, with highly rated names like Castello Lukeba, Yan Diomande, Antonio Nusa, Brajan Gruda, and more, who all wore the ‘Glow in the Dark’ shirt in the game against Dortmund.
Shirt Story: Christoph Baumgartner
At just 26 years old, Baumgartner is one of the most senior players to wear the Leipzig shirt right now.
The goals have been flowing for the Austrian in the 2025/26 season, and he kept up his hot streak against Dortmund with two sharp close-range finishes.
His match-worn and signed shirt is just one of those on offer in this first-ever auction of RB Leipzig shirts.
The story behind RB Leipzig’s Glow in the Dark shirt
The shirt launched on February 20 with the tagline Energized by Light. Activated at Night, and features fluorescent elements on the front and back. Logo, sponsor, pattern, and numbers, all in striking neon blue.
In the club’s own words, “the shirt takes the bond between the club, city, and fans to a whole new level, combining cutting-edge textile technology with an artistic portrait of the city, making Leipzig glow in the truest sense of the word.”
The luminescent jersey is another banger from the German club, which famously released a red velvet design back in 2024. The ‘Glow in the Dark’ 2026 release incorporates iconic elements from different Leipzig districts that come to life when the lights go out.
