Augsburg Trolls Bayern Munich Over Kit Similarities
- Augsburg's Jab: Augsburg trolled Bayern Munich on social media, suggesting Bayern's new 125th-anniversary kit was inspired by Augsburg's bordeaux-colored away kit.
- Kit Similarity: Augsburg posted a side-by-side comparison of the kits, implying Bayern had copied their design, even though Bayern previously used a similar color scheme.
- Bayern's Kit Debut: Bayern Munich's new dark red and gold jersey will be worn by the men's team on March 8th and the women's team on March 14th.
In a playful social media jab, FC Augsburg has poked fun at Bayern Munich's newly released 125th anniversary jersey, claiming the German champions have taken inspiration from its bordeaux-colored away kit released around a half year earlier.
One day after Bayern launched its commemorative dark red jersey with gold accents, Augsburg posted a cheeky comparison on its official X account, writing: "Hmm, @FCBayern looks kind of familiar! What do you have to say about your defense?"
The post included a meme format suggesting Bayern had copied Augsburg's homework, placing images of the two similar-looking kits side by side. Augsburg's "Römertrikot" (Roman jersey) was unveiled in early August as their away kit for the current season.
However, Bayern had actually used a similar dark red and gold color scheme for their 2022-23 Oktoberfest season kit - before Augsburg's design even existed.
Indeed, considering the lead times involved, Footy Headlines is confident that the resemblance between the two kits is purely coincidental. Both teams selected a color combination that rarely disappoints; when paired with rich, detailed elements, this results in an outstanding kit.
Bayern Munich's special edition jersey, which features golden details and an anniversary crest highlighting the club's 125-year history, will debut on March 8 when the men's team faces VfL Bochum in Bundesliga action. The women's team will wear the kit on March 14 against Wolfsburg.
FC Luzern 2026-27 Away Kit Released
The new FC Luzern 2026-27 away kit has been officially released. Made by Erreà, the shirt will be worn during the club's 26-27 Swiss Super League campaign and follows the release of their 125th-anniversary home kit earlier in May.
The Erreà FC Luzern 2026-27 away shirt draws inspiration from one of the city's most representative architectural landmarks, the Jesuit Church. It features a sophisticated tone-on-tone ornamental pattern that runs discreetly across the fabric. A striking blue vertical stripe, enhanced by a subtle golden trim, runs down the center of the shirt, paying homage to the club's traditional colors and adding a touch of elegance to the overall design.
The new Erreà FC Luzern 2026-27 away jersey successfully connects the club's local heritage with a contemporary aesthetic. The kit is currently available to purchase through the official club store.
