Bayern Munich's New 23-24 Champions League Kit Reacts to Heat Like a Plastic Bag
Aug 13, 2023, by Chris
The new 23-24 third/Champions League kit of Bayern Munich's players caused some discomfort during yesterday's Supercup match against Leipzig.
Is Bayern Munich's New Kit Causing Discomfort to the Players In Warm and Humid Temperatures?
The authentic version of the Adidas Bayern Munich 23-24 Champions League jersey had poor breathability, making the player's skin visible behind it and sticking to their bodies like plastic bags.
The issue with the authentic Bayern Munich kit was exacerbated by the high humidity of 80% in Munich. However, this is not a problem specific to Bayern's kit, but also occurred at the 2022 World Cup and in previous friendlies.
Nike's Leipzig kits had no problem.
On the other hand, Nike's Leipzig kits had no problem.
It remains to be seen if Adidas will improve the breathability of their jerseys already during the season, but we do not think so. If Adidas are aware of the problem (which we are very sure they are), it appears most likely that an improved material will be introduced for the Euro 2024 kits. The Euro 2024 will be launched in March 2024 already. A few months later, the same improved material could be used for the 2024-25 club kits.

VfL Osnabrück 26-27 Special DFB-Pokal Kit Released - Worn Against Bayern Munich
German club VfL Osnabrück have unveiled a special kit for their DFB-Pokal first-round clash against FC Bayern Munich. Manufactured by Capelli Sport, the one-off jersey pays homage to one of the biggest cup upsets in German football history, when Osnabrück defeated Bayern 5-4 at the Olympiastadion in Munich on September 23, 1978.
The Osnabrück 26-27 DFB-Pokal special shirt closely mirrors the clean aesthetic worn during that historic 1978 triumph. Predominantly white, it features a bold retro polo collar and matching sleeve cuffs in Osnabrück's signature purple.
Completing the look, the special edition kit is paired with matching white shorts and socks accented by purple detailing. The kit will be worn exclusively during the home cup tie against Bayern Munich at the Bremer Brücke and is available through the club's official retail channels.

Hanoi FC Uses Same Adidas Template as Mercedes F1 Shirt
Vietnamese V.League 1 side Hanoi FC and Adidas have unveiled the first kits from their new partnership, with the design immediately sparking discussion over its unusual short Three Stripes layout across the shoulders.
The shirt uses a new Adidas template with short 3-Stripes on the shoulders and a classic crew neck, a design primarily seen on takedown jersey (fan version). The same template is also used by Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS Formula 1, including the team's latest “Vanda Bloom” collection. The purple colourway closely matches Hanoi FC's traditional identity.
The shirt uses a mixed construction: the body features standard Adidas Climacool fabric, while the sleeves use Player-version material.
