Bayern Fans Protest Against Kit Colors & Defaced Crest
Sep 30, 2024, by Chris
- Fan Protest: Bayern Munich fans protested the team's current jerseys, particularly a gray Oktoberfest kit, and the modified crest for deviating from the club's traditional red and white colors.
- Color Violation: The protest included a banner referencing the club's statutes, which state the official colors are red and white, and that the club has no red and white kit this season.
- Future Kits: Bayern will return to a red and white home kit for the 2025-2026 season.
Just before Bayern Munich's match against Leverkusen, fans in the stands (again) voiced their frustration over the team's current jerseys and the brand-new gray Oktoberfest kit.
Bayern Fans Unhappy With Club's Kit Colors & Modified Oktoberfest Crest
A large, well-known banner displayed by supporters in the fan section read: "§ 1 The club colors are inviolable," referencing the first paragraph of Bayern's statutes, which states the club's official colors are red and white.
Bayern does not manage to have a single kit in its red and white colors this season
The protest was a response to Bayern's decision to stray from its traditional colors this season. The team has been wearing a red and almost black (extremely dark maroon that looks like black) home jersey, and in the match against Leverkusen, a special gray Oktoberfest kit with a modified crest was used.
No red and white jersey, a disfigured crest, your ‘Mia san mia' is just a facade!
Another banner in the stands criticized the special crest of the Oktoberfest kit: “No red and white jersey, a disfigured crest, your ‘Mia san mia' is just a facade!”
Fans, especially the Ultras, have long criticized any deviation from the club's iconic red and white colors, bringing up the issue repeatedly in discussions with club officials. It remains to be seen if the club will continue to stretch its own kit rules, which say that the home kit must feature red and white only.
