'Worst jersey in 40 years!' - Bayern Munich fans rage over release of 'hideous' new home kit as Harry Kane & Co forced to don 'Santa beards'

<p>The controversial kit, manufactured by long-time sponsor Adidas, features a <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/bayern-2025-26-kit/bltaa997fdfb6c96099#cs87b5fa338c7b79f5" target="_blank">prominent white “M” motif </a>displayed in a fading soundwave pattern. Set against Bayern’s traditional red base, the design was intended as a modern and dynamic representation of the club’s identity. </p><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="de" dir="ltr">Geschichte schreiben in Rot und Weiß.  🔴⚪<br><br>Das neue FC Bayern 25/26 Home Jersey.

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>All of the branding elements on the shirt, including the adidas logo and sponsor’s emblem, appear in crisp white, offering a stark contrast to the crimson backdrop. Notably, the club crest remains untouched, retaining its familiar red, white, and blue colours. However, fans on social media have expressed disappointment, arguing that the aesthetic is jarring and detracts from the club’s proud heritage.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

I wish we had a permanent home jersey, like Real Madrid, Barca, Inter Milan, and AC Milan, etc. This changing home jersey year after year is a farce."</p><p><a href="https://x.com/hackedbyfipsii/status/1932332993009573955" target="_blank">@hackedbyfipsii </a>wrote: "Bottomlessly hideous."</p><p></p>

WHAT THE FANS ARE SAYING

<p>Bayern released their away kit for the upcoming season on May 5, 2025. This version of the shirt received a warmer reception, praised for its creative ties to local heritage, as it draws visual inspiration from the serene sunrise views of the Bavarian Alps as seen from the Allianz Arena.</p><p>Ahead of its official release, images of Bayern’s 2025-26 third kit have also surfaced online. The new design sees the club return to a black base for the first time since the 2022-23 campaign. It features minimalist styling with off-white adidas Trefoil and Bayern logos, offering a vintage-inspired look that has generally been welcomed by fans nostalgic for simpler designs.</p><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">A jersey woven with history! 🧵<br><br>The 25/26 away jersey, celebrating 20 years of the Allianz Arena 👉 <a href="https://t.co/43B8dpwiNs">https://t.co/43B8dpwiNs</a> <a href="https://t.co/MvhzHQTJhl">pic.twitter.com/MvhzHQTJhl</a></p>— FC Bayern (@FCBayernEN) <a href="https://twitter.com/FCBayernEN/status/1919301871161790750?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">May 5, 2025</a></blockquote>
