Bayern Munich and Adidas have quietly added a cropped version of the club’s 2025-26 Champions League third kit to their online store. The new option offers fans a shorter, fashion-focused take on the recently launched third shirt. Big thanks to @annalenachicago for the spot.

The cropped FC Bayern München 25-25 third jersey features the same design as the standard version, just much shorter: a black base with a subtle checkered pattern, red and khaki trim on the collar and cuffs, and white sponsor and club logos. The back carries the “FCBM” lettering, identical to the regular fit.

Available for €85 instead of €100, the cropped edition is part of Adidas’ growing effort to bring streetwear-influenced variations of football shirts to supporters. For supporters who wanted to crop their kit themselves, it saves them €15, even though it might of a different, e.g. shorter, length than they would have cut.

Footy Headlines believes this is the first time a pro football club has released a cropped version of its kit. Adidas used to release women's kits with a very deep V-neck. Adidas stopped doing so, first because of those being unpopular, but also because some female fans and media outlets criticized the cut of Adidas women's jerseys as sexist.
