Update: Four days after changing its logo on social media platforms, Bayern München yesterday (18 October) officially announced the modernization of its brand image, including the Bayern logo. It has been adapted to a brighter color scheme in order to meet the requirements of the new Accessibility Improvement Act, which aims to offer people with disabilities a better user experience.
Two days ago (14 October), Bayern München changed their avatar on social media platforms to a new logo with a slight color update.
New Bayern München Logo Colors
The new Bayern München logo keeps the same design and only has a change in color. Both the red and blue tones have been adjusted to be slightly brighter than the old logo.
Bayern has modernized the color palette of its logo and adjusted the contrast ratio between the text and background colors to comply with the guidelines of Germany’s new Accessibility Improvement Act (Barrierefreiheitsstärkungsgesetz), which will come into force in June 2025.
This color change is aimed at providing accessibility and a better experience for people with disabilities. The new designs for the entire brand identity are currently being rolled out step by step.

Vitesse 26-27 Airborne Kit Released
Dutch club SBV Vitesse and technical partner Robey Sportswear have officially launched their special 2026-27 Airborne kit. Continuing an annual tradition that dates back to 2007, the kit commemorates the 1944 Battle of Arnhem and Operation Market Garden, and will be worn during the club's annual Airborne fixture in September.
Themed "V van Vrijheid" (V for Freedom), the shirt also pays tribute to a silent act of resistance during the club's 50th anniversary in 1942, when players formed a large 'V' on the pitch in a subtle nod to the Allied Victory sign. The jersey is presented in a deep bordeaux base covered in dynamic tonal chevron patterns that form subtle 'V' shapes across the torso. Contrasting sky blue accents highlight the collar, sleeve cuffs, and underarm panels, with a white poppy placed centrally on the chest between the Robey branding and the club crest.
Matching bordeaux shorts and sky blue socks decorated with claret chevrons complete the uniform. The Robey Vitesse 26-27 Airborne kit is available to purchase now through the club's official online store.
Cambodian Premier League Becomes First Asian League to Introduce "Debut" Sleeve Patches
The Cambodian Premier League has surprised kit enthusiasts and football followers by introducing an official "CPL DEBUT" sleeve patch, making it the first domestic league in Asia to adopt a dedicated debut patch on match shirts. While high-profile competitions across the continent like the Saudi Pro League, Japan's J.League, and South Korea's K League have yet to implement such badges, Cambodia's top flight has embraced the global trend.
Positioned directly underneath the official Cambodian Premier League crest on the right sleeve, the badge features a compact rectangular design with a bold red background and white "CPL DEBUT" lettering. The patch is applied to kits exclusively for players making their first-ever career appearance in the Cambodian Premier League, commemorating their milestone game on the pitch.
The concept takes inspiration from the debut patch movement that originated in American sports like Major League Baseball and Major League Soccer, which recently expanded to European football via UEFA and Topps for the UEFA Champions League. While the Cambodian version is an independent initiative by the league rather than a licensed trading card memorabilia tie-in, it adds a unique detail and collectible charm to debutants' match-worn shirts.
