+++ In Bavaria design: new Bayern away shirt leaked +++

If that isn’t a real eye-catcher: the portal “footyheadlines”, specialized in shirt leaks, has published photos of FC Bayern’s possible new away shirt. When it comes to design, supplier Adidas apparently opts for a completely new approach.

Like the current away shirt, the new shirt is dark, but this time it has a rusty-looking pattern. The world-famous Bavaria statue on the Theresienwiese naturally served as a source of inspiration. The 18-meter-high statue was designed and cast from bronze between 1843 and 1850 by the Munich artist Ludwig Schwanthaler on behalf of Ludwig I and is one of Munich’s most famous landmarks. When illuminated in the dark, the image appears turquoise, which has been incorporated into the design of the new away shirts.

The Adidas logo, the three iconic stripes of the Franconian sporting goods manufacturer on the arms and the logo of chest sponsor Telekom are rust-colored. The same applies to the coat of arms of Bavaria, which is also interrupted by a turquoise pattern.

However, the leak is not yet the final design. According to “footyheadlines”, so far this is just a prediction that will probably be very close to the original design.
