The Bayern Munich 2024/25 home kit has been revealed, but fans of the German side will HATE it

Adidas Bayern Munich 2024/25 home shirt and kit.

The Bayern Munich 2024/25 home kit has been released, with Adidas attempting something that has never been tried before on the German side's strip.

After images of the new kit leaked online ahead of their Champions League semi-final against Real Madrid on April 30, Bayern Munich fans voiced their displeasure at the design with a banner at the Allianz Arena which read: "A stadium in red, a team in red and white! End jersey experiments – keep your promises."

And unfortunately for Bayern supporters, it seems their criticism hasn't been heard. They're not going to like this one...

Unveiling a triple-red home kit for the 2024/25 season, what will likely irk Bayern Munich fans most is the lack of white detailing anywhere on the kit. Instead, the accents come in black, with the colour from the crest even removed to maintain a consistent theme.

With subtle vertical stripes highlighting the different colours of red, incoroporated through what Adidas claim is a "creative use of the diamond shape", this is the first time ever that three different shade of Bayern's main colour will feature on the shirt.

And while Bayern Munich lost the Bundesliga title to Bayer Leverkusen this season, and could well end the campaign trophyless, the three shades of red are supposed to symbolise the fact they are still the only men’s team in Germany to have claimed the continental treble, achieved in both 2012/13 and 2019/20 when they won the Bundesliga, DFB Pokal Cup and Champions League.

Plus, the diamond shapes which help fade the colours into each other also feature on the crest of both Bayern Munich and the flag of Bavaria, highlighting the subtle thinking behind each decision. The club’s motto, Mia san Mia – meaning ‘we are who we are’ - adorns the outer back neck of the jersey, too.

Still, the lack of white is sure to anger Bayern fans.

Adidas said: “Red is more than just a colour to Bayern Munich – it is a well-established symbol of the club's early origins in Bavaria and has been at the heart of the team’s identity for over 100 years, shown by the team’s affectionate nickname – ‘Die Roten’ (The Reds). 

"We wanted to create a kit that paid tribute to this, but in an unexpected way. Through considered application of this hue, we fuse striking, bold impact – clear on the field of play, with a more subtle, quiet and compelling graphic detail, only truly visible to the fan and athlete that will wear it pride.”   

It's certainly a drastic change from the predominantly white home shirt Bayern have been wearing in the 2023/24 season. 

The home shirt is available to buy from Adidas from May 16, at 7.30am BST.
