Likedeeler: Otto Waalkes Drachifant adorns new shirts for the regatta

The Emder Drachenboot Regatta not only has top sporting performance this year, but also a creative surprise. With the newly designed shirt, the Likedeeler, a well-known dragon boat team from Emden, greet a special guest-a dragon-old assistant who was designed by Legend Otto Waalkes. This creative cooperation not only symbolizes team spirit, but also the support of local talents.

so the otifant came on the jersey

The idea of developing a new motif for her team shirt had Sigrid Janssen, a member of the Likedeeler. After an exchange with Otto Waalkes about possible designs, the ingenious decision was made to give his iconic otifant a new home on the shirts of the dragon boat paddlers. This original connection between sport and art brings a breath of fresh air to the traditions of the regatta.

The dragon boat regatta in Emden is not only shaped by the participating teams by sporting skills, but also by creativity and commitment. The design of the jerseys, the choice of battle calls and even the panels of the paddlers create a festive atmosphere, which spectators and participants pleased. The newly designed dragon-old embodies this creative spirit and at the same time brings a pinch of humor to the sporting event.

The cooperation between the Likedeelern and Otto Waalkes also contributes to strengthening the community in Emden. The dragon boat sport has a long tradition in East Frisia and promotes cohesion among the participants and the entire population. With the new shirt, the Likedeeler can show their identity and at the same time emphasize their connection to the region and its culture.

The difference from community actions

The initiative to work with a well-known name like Otto Waalkes takes off the dragon boat regatta from other sporting events. It shows that local sports teams can also benefit from prominent supporters. This not only creates added value for the Likedeeler, but also increases the attractiveness of the regatta for spectators and sponsors.

A look at the upcoming events

Totally, 44 teams and more than 700 paddlers take part in the dragon boat regatta in Emden. This number illustrates the great interest and enthusiasm for this fascinating sport. The dragon-old on the Likedeeler shirts is therefore not only a funny cross-section of creativity, but also a sign of the togetherness and the fighting spirit of the athletes.

The event stands for teamwork, community feeling and above all for the joy of sport. With the new design on the shirts that adorn the dragon godfant, the Likedeeler set an example. They show that their passion for the dragon boat sport and their connection to the region can go hand in hand.
