The Bayern Munich 2024-25 away shirt is inspired by the Bayern statue


Bayern Munich have gone all out again with their away kit, with another eye-catching design that they will wear on the road during the 2024-25 season.

The Bundesliga giants wore a neon-hued jersey featuring a map of the world on it on their travels last season.

While the shirt itself was a huge success, the campaign ended without the club winning a single trophy.

According to manufacturer Adidas, Bayern's new away shirt is inspired by the bronze statue of Bavaria, which has stood outside the Ruhmeshalle in central Munich since the mid-19th century.

Dressed in bearskin and holding aloft an oak wreath alongside a lion, the female personification of Germany's largest state stands more than 18 metres (60 feet) tall and weighs 87 tonnes.

Bayern's shirt features some of the colours found on the statue with the dark base covered in an irregular graphic made up of flecks of aged white and turquoise to replicate the look of the patina that covers the city's famous landmark.

The club crest and sponsor logos are overlaid in a metallic burnished bronze colour to emphasise the theme, although we can't escape the feeling that the messy, mottled pattern is reminiscent of the stains pigeons tend to leave on statues around the world.
