Fan protests pay off: this Bayern shirt is sure to please the fans | OneFootball

For years, FC Bayern fans have criticized their club’s jersey designs – now it seems the management is beginning to respond. According to a report by Footy Headlines, Adidas is planning a return to classic elements for the 2026/27 season.

At the Bundesliga opener against RB Leipzig, the Ultras of the Südkurve once again loudly voiced their displeasure. With banners, choreographies, and chants, they demanded: “We want red and white jerseys.” The background to the criticism was that in recent years, the record champions increasingly opted for modern, experimental designs – much to the annoyance of many supporters, who wanted a clear commitment to the club’s red-and-white identity.

Adidas opts for a classic look

As Footy Headlines reports, Bayern’s home jersey for the 2026/27 season will once again feature a more traditional look. The base color remains the iconic red, complemented by a subtle, color-coordinated stripe pattern. This adds more depth and structure without detracting from Bayern’s unmistakable identity.

The logos – club crest, Adidas emblem, and the Telekom sponsor logo – appear in white. This brings the design back in line with the classic red-and-white jerseys from the club’s history.

The exact width of the stripes and the final finish have not yet been decided, according to the report. However, the expected design will combine modern minimalism with a clear commitment to the club’s roots. “No experiment, but a return to tradition and identity,” is the motto.

Based on the first leaks, a mockup has already been created to show what the new jersey could look like. However, this is not yet the final version. What is clear: for the fans, this direction is likely exactly the right one.

After years of controversial designs, FC Bayern, together with Adidas, is taking a more tradition-conscious path for the 2026/27 season. In doing so, the Munich club is meeting the demands of its supporters – and sending a clear signal for identity and unity.
