FC Bayern Munich Asks Fans About Future Kit Details
Dec 14, 2024, by Chris
- Survey Launch: FC Bayern Munich is surveying club members about future kit designs, focusing on crest details like color and championship stars.
- Fan Discontent: Bayern fans have expressed unhappiness with recent kits, particularly the colors, and this survey is an attempt to address those concerns.
- Future Impact: While the survey's impact on the upcoming 25-26 and 26-27 kits is uncertain, it may influence the 26-27 designs, with participants eligible to win signed kits.
To enhance fan engagement, FC Bayern Munich today launched a survey campaign today to gauge supporter preferences for future kit designs. The new Bayern kit survey is open to club members only - invitations were sent via email this afternoon.
Footy Headlines has received screenshots of the initiative thanks to our follower and Bayern kit expert Kay. Bayern’s focus mainly lies on the crest in this survey, apparently.
Bayern Munich Asks Members in Survey About Kit Crest Details
The survey is much more detailed than previous ones. It asks fans to choose between a monochrome logo and the traditional multi-color crest, reflecting Bayern’s iconic red and blue hues. Another key question asks fans whether the crest on future kits should feature championship stars—a tradition symbolizing Bundesliga titles—or opt for a cleaner, starless look.
Bayern Munich fans have been extremely unhappy with the team's recent kits
Bayern Munich fans have been extremely unhappy with the team's recent kits, and they expressed their anger at last Sunday's Annual General Meeting. Fans especially dislike the colors used for the home kits, which actually allowed the use of red and white only - but the club has extremely stretched this rule with an extremely dark red that actually looks like black from many angles.
We do not know if fans were also asked for kit colors in the survey.
Footy Headlines has no information on which future kits this survey will have an impact on. The 25-26 kits are ready, as are the designs for the 26-27 kits. There is still a chance that the survey will be used to adjust the 26-27 kits.
The survey is accompanied by a thank-you gesture: participants are entered into a draw to win signed 2024/25 home kits or exclusive adidas outfits.

Barnsley 26-27 Third Kit Released
Barnsley FC and technical partner Oxen have officially launched the club's new third kit for the 26-27 campaign. The release serves as the final chapter in the club's "Toby Tyke trilogy," following the houndstooth-patterned home shirt and star-clustered away kit, bringing the beloved mascot directly to the forefront.
The Oxen Barnsley 26-27 third shirt is predominantly white with light grey elements and bright green trim on the v-neck collar, cuffs, and side panels. Instead of the standard club crest, the jersey showcases a redrawn vintage Toby Tyke mascot in a green kit clutching a football positioned centrally on the chest. An intricate, all-over tonal print covers the body and sleeves, repeating Toby Tyke and the retro "The Tykes" typography, which is also neatly printed on the upper back.
Created in collaboration with creative studio VFILES, club director Julie Anne Quay, and a lifelong Barnsley supporter, the shirt features centered black branding from Oxen and main sponsor The Investment Room, alongside Weston Park Cancer Charity on the sleeve and Parliament on the lower back. The look is completed with white shorts and bright green and white socks.
Annapolis Blues Let Season Members Choose 2027 Home Kit From 8 Puma Options
American side Annapolis Blues FC have launched a member vote to select their official home kit for the 2027 campaign. The club, which competes in both USL League Two and the USL W League, has continued its tradition of community-driven design decisions by unveiling eight distinct Puma concepts for their supporters to choose from.
The eight proposals showcase a wide range of looks while keeping the Maryland club's signature royal blue palette, circular blue crab crest, and adaptic chest sponsorship. The options range from modern graphic looks—including a fading chest burst, jagged side accents, and quartered two-tone blocks—to classic aesthetics featuring a navy diagonal sash with gold detailing, a bold white chevron, horizontal bands, and refined pinstripes complete with a polo collar.
Voting is exclusively open to 2027 Season Membership Holders, who received their voting ballots directly by email. In addition to deciding the official matchwear for both the men's and women's squads, members will also receive the winning home jersey alongside a commemorative scarf as part of their membership benefits.
Hartlepool United 26-27 Third Kit Released
Hartlepool United and technical partner Meyba have officially unveiled the club's new third kit for the 2026-27 season. Directly inspired by the club's archives, the shirt serves as a modern reimagining of Pools' memorable 1995-96 away strip, combining unmistakable mid-nineties aesthetics with contemporary sportswear performance.
The Meyba Hartlepool United 26-27 third jersey features a striking split design. Its upper half is clean white, layered with bold angular diagonal stripes in red and pale blue that flow down into a solid red lower section detailed with subtle pale blue vertical pinstripes. The top is finished with a retro black polo-style collar that incorporates red trim and a functional zip neck. Additional bespoke touches include an embroidered ship's wheel crest, "Est 1908" placed beneath the outer back collar, and the rallying cry "NEVER SAY DIE" printed inside the collar.
Completing the nostalgic ensemble, local partner Camerons Brewery returns as the primary front-of-shirt sponsor, directly echoing the brewery's Strongarm branding seen on the original 1995-96 design. Matching red shorts and red socks round off the full kit.
Canberra United 26-27 Home and Away Kits Released
Ninja A-League Women side Canberra United has officially unveiled its new home and away kits for the 26-27 season, crafted by Australian sportswear brand Konqa. The partnership between the club and the Melbourne-based manufacturer enters its second consecutive campaign after Konqa first took over United's kit production last year.
The Canberra United 26-27 home shirt arrives in the club's traditional bright green hue. It showcases a modern sublimated design featuring tonal diagonal brush strokes across the torso, paired with neat dark green and white detailing along the crew collar and cuffs. Gym chain Club Lime continues as the primary sponsor on the chest, positioned below a centrally placed Konqa logo and a raised silicone club crest topped with two championship stars.
Contrasting the vibrant home shirt, the 26-27 away jersey switches to a deep forest green base. It carries the same sharp graphic patterning sublimated throughout the fabric, finished with crisp white and bright lime trims around the neckline and sleeves. Supported by University of Canberra across the front, the new collection provides the capital club with a distinctive and cohesive visual identity for the upcoming campaign.
