FC Bayern’s new official 3rd kit – whose design was jointly created by FC Bayern, adidas, and BSTN – blends heritage, innovation, and hometown pride in every stitch. This exclusive look behind the scenes deep dives into the making of the offical 3rd jersey for the upcoming 2025/26 season:
Clad in sleek black with red, green, and white accents, the third jersey highlights the bond between the club and its fans beyond game day. Its unique retro look honors team heritage without replicating past kits, fitting both on the pitch and in streetwear.
A modern take on the classic crewneck, the jersey features a specifically developed double flat-knit collar and a lightweight fabric, woven with multiple textures to generate the graphic patterns while also enhancing breathability and moisture-wicking capabilities.*
Matching the throwback theme, the adidas Trefoil logo and a special retro FC Bayern crest grace the chest of the new 3rd kit as specially engineered, high-tech TPU trims that not only allow for an extremely high level of detail but are also particularly durable and lightweight — supporting the jersey’s function as a high-performance garment.*
THREE GLOBAL ICONS, ONE LOCAL TRIBUTE
The 3rd kit continues FC Bayern’s season-long theme of celebrating its Munich heritage by paying tribute to Marienplatz, the central square in the city center that has seen many a trophy held aloft from the town hall’s balcony in front of a crowd. A subtle yet distinct reminder of the club’s status as the German record champions, a loop label reading ‘Greetings from the town hall balcony’ graces the jersey’s hem, equally addressing FCB fans around the world as well as the competition. From the south, from the heart.*
* Specific design features of the FC Bayern 2025/26 Third Jersey differ between the player version and fan version of the kit.
