Bayern Munich has announced that they will be reverting to their traditional red home kit for the 2024-25 season, bidding farewell to the ill-fated 2023-24 design that coincided with a challenging period for the club. The decision to return to the iconic all-red kit comes after a disappointing season where Bayern lost their Bundesliga title to Bayer Leverkusen after an 11-year reign.
The new kit, described as the 'magic triple red kit,' features varying shades of red in the shirt, shorts, and socks. The club states that the design symbolizes the unity between players and fans, with a visual nod to Bayern's historic successes, including their unique achievement of winning the league, cup, and European treble.
The 2024-25 home kit will debut in the women's DFB-Pokal final against Wolfsburg on May 9, followed by the men's team wearing it in their final home game of the season against the same opponent. Notably, Bayern will be the first top-level German club to incorporate a QR code on their kit, allowing fans to access digital content provided by their stadium sponsor, Allianz.
While fans may have hoped for a 12th consecutive Bundesliga title, the introduction of the innovative QR code feature adds a unique touch to the upcoming season's kit. The club's swift decision to return to the classic red design reflects their determination to reclaim the Bundesliga summit and reignite their winning ways.
