Bayern Munich to Wear New 25-26 Away Kit at Home, Ignoring Fans
- New Away Kit Unveiled: Bayern Munich has revealed their 2025-26 away kit.
- Controversial Home Debut: The club will wear the new away kit for a home match against Borussia Mönchengladbach on May 10th.
- Fan Discontent over Kit Choices: This decision is likely to worsen existing tensions with fans who are already unhappy with recent kit designs that deviate from traditional red and white.
Bayern Munich have officially unveiled their new 2025-26 away kit — and in a controversial move, announced they will wear it at home for the Bundesliga clash against Borussia Mönchengladbach on 10 May.
Bayern Munich to Wear New 25-26 Away Kit at Home
While Bayern’s intention with the kit is to honor their iconic stadium, the decision to wear an away kit at home could reignite tensions with fans. In recent seasons, supporters have repeatedly voiced frustration with the club’s kit choices, particularly when the team strays from its traditional red and white identity.
Fans were previously outraged by the lack of a traditional red and white home kit for the 2023-24 season and the use of a gray Oktoberfest jersey with a redesigned crest. Slogans like "Kein rot-weißes Trikot, ein verschandeltes Wappen, euer ‘Mia san mia’ ist nur Fassade" ("No red and white jersey, a disfigured crest, your ‘Mia san mia’ is just a facade") have become a common sight in protest.
While Bayern are expected to return to a red-and-white home kit for the 25-26 season, the club’s choice to debut the new away kit in front of a home crowd — even one that honors the stadium’s history — may further strain the relationship with their core fan base.
Will this latest decision deepen the divide between the club and its supporters, or will the tribute to the Allianz Arena win them over? Comment below.
