Paying homage to two decades of one of football’s most iconic structures, FC Bayern Munich and adidas have unveiled the club’s new away shirt for the 2025/26 season – a stunning visual tribute to the 20th anniversary of the Allianz Arena. More than just a kit, it’s a canvas that paints a story of legacy, future, and one unforgettable farewell.
As football continues to lean into its emotional ties with place, culture and memory, the Bayern Munich 25/26 away jersey is as much about sentiment as it is about style. The Allianz Arena has been Bayern's fortress since 2005, and the new away shirt encapsulates its architectural influence in a sleek, modern execution that bridges eras. The jersey comes in a clean white base – a nod to clarity and future-focus – but it’s the subtle camouflage pattern in grey and bright coral that pulls you into the story. Inspired by the stadium’s luminous exterior panels, the digital-style design spans the front, sleeves, and lower back, giving the shirt a layered texture that feels alive with history.
Branding across the chest keeps things tonal and elevated – the adidas logo, Bayern crest and sponsor mark all appear in dark grey, while coral hits on the sleeve cuffs deliver a vibrant contrast that mirrors the Arena’s famous night-time glow. On the back, “FC Bayern München” is printed across the shoulders, with the iconic Allianz Arena logo stitched proudly into the back neck. A landmark on a landmark, if you will.
But perhaps the most emotional weight of the jersey comes from the moment it will be worn. The new strip will make its first appearance under the lights of the Allianz Arena on 10 May, when Bayern take on Borussia Mönchengladbach – the very same opponent they faced in their inaugural Bundesliga fixture at the new stadium back in 2005. Full circle doesn't even begin to cover it.
That night will also mark the end of an era: Thomas Müller, the living embodiment of Bavarian football, will wear the shirt for his final home game in red colours. After 25 years with the club, the legend will take to the pitch one last time in front of his home crowd. To mark the occasion, fans will be able to get a special Müller name and number print – a tribute to a player whose career has been as iconic as the venue itself.
