Why are Werder Bremen called Die Grün-Weißen?

Werder Bremen's 'Die Grün-Weißen' nickname means 'the Green-Whites' — colours that became the identity of a proud northern club.

Colours of the North

Werder Bremen are known as Die Grün-Weißen — "the Green-Whites" — and at Metaverse Football Club we find it a nickname as vivid as the colours it names. The name comes from the club's green-and-white home shirts, worn since Werder's earliest days.

Founded in 1899, Werder adopted green and white, colours that became inseparable from the club's identity. Die Grün-Weißen reflects the club's proud, northern spirit and its deep roots in the city of Bremen.

A Name from the River

"Werder" itself means a river island, referring to the patch of land where the club first played. At Metaverse Football Club, we love how a colour and a place combine into a unique identity.

From the Weserstadion to the Bundesliga, Die Grün-Weißen shine — a story Metaverse Football Club is glad to tell.
