With a record 31 German titles, fans don the latest Bayern Munich shirt proudly ahead of every fixture.
The latest Bayern Munich release attracted attention from supporters around the world and sales hit new heights in 2021.
Here, we look at the greatest ever Bayern jerseys while taking a keen interest in this year’s shirt.
So, what are you waiting for Bundesliga news fans? Scroll down for our take on the 2021/22 Bayern Munich kit.
Bayern Munich Home Kit
Unveiled ahead of a pre-season friendly against Ajax, the Bayern Munich home kit was an instant hit.
Combining the traditional red with the darker ‘Craft Red’, the 2021/22 Bayern Munich shirt is similar to the 2015/16 jersey.
Unlike other Bavarians kits, the 2021/22 jersey has a new font – which is also on the Bayern Munich away kit.
In addition, there is a Mia san Mia logo underneath the collar, paying homage to the club’s mantra.
Last season’s shirt was a roaring success but the 2021/22 jersey is bolder and braver – with the combination of colours attracting lots of media attention.
The Bavarians remain the only club to incorporate a fifth star on the jersey, awarded to the club after winning a record 30th Bundesliga title.
The primary colour on the home Bayern Munich kit is red, with Craft Red on sleeves as well as a ‘V’ shape on the chest.
Designers decided to base the collar on the Condivo 20 template, giving the Bayern Munich shirt a smart finish.
The Craft Red shorts and socks complete the sleek 2021/22 Bayern Munich kit and it would be fair to state that Adidas have done a fantastic job.
Launched in July 2021, there are two options when purchasing the new Bayern Munich shirt. The replica jersey retails at £75 while fans can pay £115 for the authentic version.
Bayern Munich Away Shirt
In recent years, Bayern have tended to go with a predominantly black jersey for their away shirt and that was the same in 2021/22.
With gold metallic writing and two shades of black, the new Bayern Munich away shirt is a work of art.
It has a sleek design that looks professional and modern, with the gold font really catching the eye – Bayern players certainly stand out in this jersey.
The upper back of the shirt boasts the Munich coat of arms, a change in tradition from the Mia sans Mia text that has often graced the away kit.
However, that takes nothing away from the beauty of the 2021/22 Bayern Munich away kit. The Munich flag and coat of arms works perfectly and fits the colour scheme.
While the black and golf on the logo is slightly different to that on the flag, the bold nature of the Bayern Munich away shirt attracts focus away from that.
The dotted graphic on the front is interesting yet professional, complimenting the modern nature of the jersey to a tee.
Adidas have combined the Bayern Munich away kit with black shorts and socks, with the Munchner Kindl applied on the front of the socks.
A lovely jersey for any Bavarians fan, the latest Bayern Munich away shirt is bound to be a leading kit choice for many years to come.
Bayern Munich Third Kit
In addition to the home and away kits, a third Bayern Munich jersey has been released for the 2021/22 season.
Predominantly used in European away fixtures, the Bayern Munich third shirt pays tribute to the region of Bavaria.
Situated in the region for 121 years, the new Bayern Munich jersey has a stunning print pattern that encapsulates the beauty of the Bavarian area.
Adidas stated upon its release that the shirt intends to symbolise the club’s roots while honouring their “relentless demand to aim for the highest peaks”.
The shirt has been a huge hit with supporters and it may go down in history as one of the most popular Bayern Munich kit launches of all-time.
Designers worked tirelessly to incorporate a traditional Bavarian attitude to life, with pride, hard work and progression all core values.
Club legend Thomas Muller, born and raised in Bavaria, was hugely positive about the new Bayern Munich kit for 2021/22.
“Being a born and bred Bavarian, I particularly like this look. I love the mountains, I love my home,” revealed Muller.
The Bayern star continued: “I think it’s nice we can illustrate to the whole world this special attitude to life we have here with this jersey.”
Muller has won 28 senior trophies at the Allianz Arena. Will we see him add to that tally while wearing the new Bayern Munich kit this season? Only time will tell…
