Will Adidas Ever Release a Modern Bayern Remake Kit?
Dec 26, 2025, by Chris
- Adidas Remake Kits: Many major Adidas clubs have received 1-to-1 remakes of their classic kits, but Bayern Munich has not received a modern remake kit with the club's actual logo, despite a long partnership with Adidas.
- Bayern's Existing Adidas Collections: Adidas has released 'Bring It Back' collections and Terrace Icons collections for Bayern featuring retro styling, but these lack the authenticity of a true remake kit.
- Potential Reasons for Delay: The delay in releasing a Bayern remake kit could be due to strategic timing, Bayern's licensing strategy, negotiations between the club and Adidas, or concerns about cannibalizing sales of current designs.
Bayern Munich supporters watching the remake kit boom unfold must feel a peculiar mix of envy and confusion. Liverpool joined Adidas in 2025 and will remake kits around half a year later. Real Madrid finally released their first remake collection in April 2025. Arsenal, Manchester United, Newcastle, Boca, River - all the major Adidas clubs with an Adidas history have received proper 1-to-1 remake treatments of their classic kits.
Adidas Remake Kits For Other Teams
Yet Bayern, despite nearly 50 years of partnership with Adidas and a trophy cabinet that could fill a museum, hasn't received a modern remake kit with the club's actual logo. It's a glaring omission that raises a simple question: why?
The club hasn't been completely ignored. Adidas released a "Bring It Back" collection for Bayern featuring a 1970s home jersey remake, but this falls under the Adidas Originals umbrella rather than an official remake in the same vein as what other clubs have received. Adidas also released a Bayern remake keeper kit, in 2023, which was rather part of a celebration of famous keepers wearing Adidas.
The options are endless. Bayern has been sponsored by Adidas since the 1970s, giving the brand access to decades of classic designs, including not only all the 1990s shirts but also the Champions League-winning designs from 2001 and 2013. Any of these would generate massive commercial interest and satisfy the nostalgia of supporters who remember those glory days.
So why the hesitation? Perhaps Adidas is being strategic about release timing, waiting for a significant anniversary or milestone. We know that Bayern's 2026-27 away kit will feature the return of the classic Bayern e.V. crest from 1966 and the Adidas Trefoil logo, potentially their best alternative kit in recent years.
Meanwhile, Adidas has released multiple Terrace Icons and LFSTLR collections for Bayern featuring retro styling, proving there's demand for heritage products. The difference is that these collections lack the authenticity of a true remake.
The commercial logic seems questionable. Liverpool will receive 1990s remakes almost immediately after joining Adidas. Real Madrid, after years of waiting, finally got their 1999-2000 collection. Clubs smaller and with shorter Adidas partnerships have received remake treatments. Bayern, as one of the brand's longest-standing and most successful partners, should theoretically be first in line for such releases.
Perhaps the answer lies in Bayern's broader licensing and merchandising strategy, or in negotiations between the club and Adidas about how to position these products. Maybe there are complications around which specific kits to remake, or concerns about cannibalizing sales of current designs. Or perhaps Adidas is simply saving Bayern for a future release that will coincide with a major club anniversary or achievement.

Footy Headlines has no information about an imminent Bayern remake kit - the 2001 Champions League-winning kit would be a perfect opportunity for a 25th anniversary remake...

How the Three Newcastle Crest Options Compare
Jersey Story has created a very nice mock-up of how the three Newcastle United crest options compare.
Como 1907 Officially Reveal 26-27 Away Kit
Como 1907 has officially unveiled its new 26-27 away kit, produced by Adidas. The official announcement follows an early leak when midfielder Lucas Da Cunha was spotted wearing the shirt while signing autographs during the club's pre-season trip in the United Kingdom.
The Adidas Como 26-27 away jersey features a white base paired with dark blue details across the collar, sleeve cuffs, and classic three stripes on the shoulders. Giving the shirt a retro feel, it features the iconic Adidas Trefoil logo on the right chest opposite the club's crest, with Revolut taking position as the main front sponsor.
Set to make its debut in a pre-season fixture against Arsenal, the new away kit is already on sale at official physical retail locations and will be released on the club's online store soon.
Dortmund 26-27 Away Kit Leaked
Official photos of the Borussia Dortmund 26-27 away kit have appeared online, showcasing Puma's stealthy new design for the club's upcoming campaign. The shirt is built around a dark anthracite and black base, giving BVB a sleek look away from home. Big thansk to @KamilBerberler.
The jersey's defining feature is an all-over tonal abstract lightning bolt graphic woven into the fabric. Adding a touch of classic detail, Puma has included a buttoned collar with white contrast inserts at the back, paired with matching white trim on the sleeve cuffs. The BVB crest and Puma cat logo stand out in vibrant yellow, with the Vodafone sponsor logo placed prominently across the chest.
The full kit is completed with matching black shorts and black socks featuring white cuff details and yellow BVB 09 text.
