Societas 1860 München 26-27 Home Kit Released
, by Chris
- Kit Launch and Immediate Success: The 1860 München 2026-2027 home kit, released in early September 2026, quickly sold out 8,000 units in 60 minutes and saw minor design adjustments based on fan feedback.
- New Manufacturer and Emblem Change: Societas took over from Joma as the kit manufacturer on a three-year deal, and the new kit features the club's historic oval FA crest due to trademark complications with the traditional lion badge.
- Design Details and Crowdfunding Impact: The kit features classic stripes, the slogan "Freiheit für Sechzig," and a unique "FOOTBALL FOR THE PEOPLE" message on the back, funded by a fan crowdfunding initiative that raised over €250,000.
Update - September 21, 2026: Societas officially made the 1860 München 2026-2027 home kit available to buy in early September 2026. The first batch of 8,000 shirts sold out in just 60 minutes. The club and the Munich-based brand announced that the shirt will be restocked. The shirt was slightly changed after the launch, following fans' feedback. The logos were moved more to the center, and the FA crest was reduced in size.
The Munich-based label - co-founded by designer Mirko Borsche alongside the creators of A Kind of Guise - takes over manufacturing duties on a three-year deal, replacing outgoing supplier Joma.

TSV 1860 München 2026-2027 Home Kit
The 1860 München 2026-2027 home kit features classic light blue and white stripes with tailored raglan sleeve paneling and a custom textured knit fabric. Both the Societas logo and 1860 FA logo are black. Instead of a full sponsor, the 1860 Munich 2026-2027 home kit comes with the slogan "Freiheit für Sechzig" on the front - unfortunately, with an orange Dialog logo on the lower part (Freedom for Sixty - Supported by Dialog insurance).
Due to trademark complications surrounding the traditional lion badge following the insolvency of the club's KGaA entity, the new 1860 München 26-27 kit sports 1860's historic oval FA (Fußballabteilung) crest on the chest. The upper back prominently displays the registered association's full name, "TSV MÜNCHEN VON 1860 E.V.", printed in bold black typography across the shoulders.
Adding a unique community-driven touch, the lower hem on the back will feature the slogan "FOOTBALL FOR THE PEOPLE". The back-of-shirt space was secured through a massive crowdfunding initiative organized by the Westkurve supporters, which raised over €250,000.
