Independent brand design agency Derek&Eric<\/a> has partnered with Bitburger to create a striking series of limited edition collector’s cans<\/a> celebrating the brewer’s renewed partnership with the German Football Association (DFB).<\/p>\n Timed to coincide with a summer of international football, the designs tap into the passion, pride and nostalgia that unite German fans across generations.<\/p>\n Built around the rallying cry “Here’s to Number 5”, the campaign celebrates Germany’s four historic world titles while looking ahead to the possibility of a fifth star. Each can draws inspiration from the iconic shirts worn during past tournament victories, reinterpreting their distinctive colors, patterns and typography through the lens of the Bitburger brand.<\/p>\n The result is a collection of cans that feel both instantly familiar and proudly contemporary. The shared use of white across Bitburger’s visual identity and Germany’s famous home kits created a natural design bridge between two national icons.<\/p>\n Rather than focusing solely on current players or tournament moments, the work celebrates something deeper: the collective memories, emotions and optimism that define football fandom.<\/p>\n “For German fans, every star tells a story. We wanted to celebrate those moments in a way that felt authentic, collectable and unmistakably Bitburger,\u201d said Alex Stewart, Co-Founder at Derek&Eric. \u201cBy drawing inspiration from the iconic kits of past triumphs, we created a series that honors football heritage while looking forward to the possibility of a fifth star.\u201d<\/p>\n The designs celebrate the shirts worn during Germany’s four World Cup victories, bringing historic colors, patterns and graphic details into a contemporary collector’s format. The result is packaging designed not just to be purchased, but proudly displayed, shared and discussed by fans throughout the tournament.<\/p>\n
