1860 München 26-27 Transition Kits Revealed
Following administrative restructuring, a forced relegation to the Regionalliga, and a sudden switch to local supplier Societas, TSV 1860 München are wearing temporary 26-27 transition kits for their upcoming matches. The official Societas kits are still in production and will be presented shortly, prompting the club to use a simplified interim design on the pitch.
The 1860 München 26-27 transition kit features a clean, retro-inspired aesthetic. The plain white player shirt is devoid of a manufacturer logo and prominently displays a classic club crest on the chest. This historical emblem, originally used by the club between 1899 and 1911, notably omits the iconic Munich lion. The accompanying goalkeeper kit is yellow and follows the same minimalist template, with neither shirt featuring the planned "Football for the people" slogan yet.
Societas, a Munich-based brand founded in 2024, recently signed a three-year contract to replace Joma following the club's KGaA insolvency.
