- Stripes Design: Bayern Munich is expected to bring back its 1995-1997 striped kit design, possibly for the 2027-2028 season, marking a nostalgic return.
- Kit Design Speculation: A football kit designer has created a concept kit that blends the classic Adidas Trefoil logo with a unique purplish hue, inspired by early rumors of purple being featured in the club's 2027-2028 home kit.
- Design Details: While the return of the iconic vertical stripes is anticipated, specific design elements and color combinations for the Bayern Munich 2027-2028 kit are yet to be revealed.
Update - Sunday, May 10, 2026: Our sources indicate that Bayern Munich might have opted against bringing back the stripes design as a match kit in 2027, but we cannot confirm anything yet. Football kit designer Final Third Creative has created a concept that shows off how beautiful such a kit could be.
The Bayern Munich kit design incorporates the classic Adidas Trefoil logo and serves as an imaginative design exercise, experimenting with a unique purplish hue for the traditional red and blue striping. This specific color choice is a clever play on early rumors suggesting that purple might feature on the club's official 2027-2028 home kit. While it remains to be seen just how accurate those distant rumors will turn out to be, this mock-up provides a nice look at how classic branding could blend with the classic 1990s Bayern color palette.
Bayern Munich is set to reintroduce one of its most beloved retro designs in 2027. We can reveal that the club's famous 1995-1997 striped look is making a comeback, bringing a major hit of nostalgia to the Bavarian giants' upcoming kit lineup, probably for the 2027-28 season.

Nottingham Forest Announce Marex Front-of-Shirt Sponsorship Deal
Nottingham Forest have officially announced a multi-year Principal Partnership with global financial services platform Marex. Starting with the 26-27 season, Marex will serve as the club's new front-of-shirt sponsor, replacing gambling brand Bally's. The agreement is reported to be worth approximately £25 million over a three-year period.
The clean Marex wordmark and arrow logo will be featured across the front of the Nottingham Forest men's and women's first-team playing and replica kits, as well as the club's netball team dresses. In addition to primary kit placement, Marex will become Forest's official Global Markets Partner and exclusive provider of foreign exchange and financial services.
The announcement resolves Forest's search for a principal partner just ahead of the new Premier League campaign, following a pre-season without a front-of-shirt sponsor. The transition also aligns with the Premier League's upcoming voluntary ban on gambling companies occupying front-of-shirt sponsorship inventory.
