Alemannia carries the nickname \"the potato beetles\" (Kartoffelkäfer) because of their traditionally striped yellow-black jerseys.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAachen's best-ever result came in the 1968-69 season with a 2nd place finish in the Bundesliga behind champion Bayern Munich. They have reached the DFB-Pokal final on three occasions - in 1953, 1965, and 2004 - losing each encounter. The 2003-04 run was particularly remarkable: they knocked out TSV 1860 Munich, Bayern Munich, and Borussia Mönchengladbach before losing to Bundesliga champions Werder Bremen, with their runners-up finish earning them a place in the UEFA Cup, where they advanced to the Round of 32.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe club entered bankruptcy in late 2012 and spent over a decade in the Regionalliga West before winning the division in 2023-24 to earn promotion back to the 3. Liga.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThey wore this third shirt in the 2025\/2026 season - their second consecutive campaign back in the 3. Liga - finishing 7th in the table with 19 wins, 7 draws and 12 defeats, a solid mid-table return for a club still rebuilding its place in the professional game.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Surprise Shirts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55589943804280,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0509\/5564\/9221\/files\/AlemanniaAachen2025_2026ThirdShirt.jpg?v=1782409639","url":"https:\/\/surpriseshirts.co.uk\/products\/alemannia-aachen-2025-2026-third-shirt","provider":"Surprise Shirts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
