Bayern Munich are celebrating 125 years in style, unveiling a special edition kit to mark the big milestone. Paying homage to the German giants’ triumphant history, the anniversary kit pairs the traditional Bayern red with delicate detailing and golden accents.
An icon of global football founded in 1900, Bayern Munich are set to celebrate their 125-year anniversary this year. One of the most successful clubs in Europe, Bayern have won a record 33 national titles – including 11 consecutively from 2013-2023 – as well as 10 European trophies. It’s only right they pay homage to a decorated history with a special kit that embodies the club’s culture and traditions.
Sam Handy, General Manager adidas Football, added: “FC Bayern Munich is an incredibly special club, and our hope for this collection is that every fan who claims a piece for themselves falls in love with the club all over again, ready for the next 125 years.
Having been a partner of the club for over fifty years, the incredibly rich legacy of the fans and the players gave us so much to pull from, it’s a privilege to be able to play that history back to them through both the product and the campaign at such a special milestone.”
The 125-year anniversary jersey arrives in a deep red body, staying loyal to the traditional club colour. Delicate golden accents take over the Three Stripes cascading down the sleeves, aswell as finishing touches on the sleeve cuffs and sponsor. At a closer look of the shirt, subtle patterns featuring historic Bayern crests can be seen detailed into the material across the shirt, adding an extra sense of quality and luxury
The iconic Trefoil logo makes a return, seen also on the Bayern Third shirt – having made a comeback after being restricted to Originals only pieces from 1997. The Trefoil is partnered next to a bespoke, embroidered Bayern Munich badge – fashioned in a stunning vintage design with a scripted ‘125’ to celebrate the milestone. Fans who dive deeper into the design will find distinct elements of all three homes of Bayern Munich including: the fanned, straight lines of the ‘kuerve’ at the Grünwalder stadion, tessellating tentpoles inspired by the roof of the Olympia stadion, and the curved diamonds that form the iconic exterior of the current home of the club – the Allianz Arena.
The special jersey is launched as part of a capsule collection designed by adidas Originals as to commemorate the momentous occasion. The exclusive collection features a vintage-style high collar jacket, two colourways of hoodies, a terrace scarf, adidas Samba sneakers and, of course, the star jersey. All of which adorn the shielded crest unique to this collection only.
The 125 year anniversary kit will be debuted by the men's team on 8 March against VFL Bochum, followed by the women's side who will wear it on 14 March against VFL Wolfsburg.
