For the upcoming season, Bayern Munich has revealed a distinctive and unconventional white home shirt.
The renowned German club has opted to combine the color white with their iconic red on the sleeves, resulting in a bold design.
Created by adidas, the jersey pays homage to Bayern’s inaugural season in the country’s top division back in 1965-66 when notable players like Gerd Muller sported a similar style.
The inside of the collar features the message “Rot & Weiss ein Leben lang” — translating to “red and white for life” — a reference to one of the club’s bylaws that home kits must feature the two colours.
Striker Thomas Muller said: “The colours red and white have been with me all my life.
“With this traditional design, the new home shirt stands for the success story of Bayern Munich.”
Women’s team star Lina Magull added: “When you think of FC Bayern, images of red and white immediately come to mind.
“Even as a child, my room was decorated in these colors and it’s a dream to be able to wear them on the pitch.
“The new jersey combines history and elegance — and we want to do justice to these colours.”
Thomas Tuchel’s men will wear the shirt for the first time in their crunch clash with RB Leipzig on Saturday, with the battle to defend their Bundesliga crown going down to the wire.
The champions are just a point above Borussia Dortmund with two games to play as BVB bid to end Bayern’s decade of dominance.
