Bayern Munich has officially announced their return to a traditional all-red home kit for the 2024-25 season, bidding farewell to the ill-fated white jersey that coincided with their disappointing 2023-24 campaign.
The decision comes as a relief to many Bayern fans who were dismayed by last year’s departure from the club’s iconic red design. The predominantly white kit seemed to symbolize a turbulent season for the Bavarian giants, who relinquished their Bundesliga crown to Bayer Leverkusen after an 11-year reign.
With hopes still alive for Champions League success this season, Bayern is eager to put their domestic setbacks behind them. The return to their “magic” triple red kit—comprising red shirt, shorts, and socks—is seen as a symbolic move to expedite their resurgence in the Bundesliga.
Described as reflecting the “heartbeat and passion” that unites players and fans, the 2024-25 home kit boasts a striking all-red design, incorporating three different shades of red. Bayern asserts that this color scheme pays homage to their illustrious past, emphasizing their historic achievements as the only German men’s team to have won the league, cup, and European treble.
The new kit will debut in the women’s DFB-Pokal final against Wolfsburg on May 9.
In a nod to modernity, Bayern has integrated a QR code onto the kit sleeve, a pioneering move for top-level German clubs. This innovation allows fans to access digital content provided by stadium sponsor Allianz, further enhancing the fan experience.
While fans may have yearned for a 12th consecutive Bundesliga title, the introduction of the shirt-based QR code adds a novel dimension to Bayern’s kit for the upcoming season, offering a consolation prize of sorts amidst their domestic setbacks.
As Bayern looks ahead to the 2024-25 campaign, the return to their traditional red kit symbolizes a fresh start and renewed determination to reclaim their status as Bundesliga champions.
