Bayern Munich shirts
Find here the Bayern Munich shirts and the official collection of the Bavarian club: home red, away, third, in supporter and player versions, adult and child sizes.
Bayern is dressed by adidas, of which it is also a shareholder, and the shop covers tracksuits, shorts, and training tops.
Bayern Munich, the German benchmark
Bayern dominates German football like no other club dominates its league in Europe: over thirty Bundesliga titles, including long consecutive runs, and a permanent favourite status that even its rivals no longer really contest.
On the European stage, the club has six Champions Leagues, won in three distinct eras: the treble in the seventies with Beckenbauer, Müller, and Maier, the title at the end of the 2000s, and then the two victories of the last decade, one of which came with a complete treble.
The Allianz Arena, with seventy-five thousand seats, is one of the most recognisable stadiums in the world with its inflatable cushion façade that changes colour.
Bavarian red and the regional badge
The Bayern home shirt is red, a colour the club has worn for a long time, even though white has occupied this place at certain times. Red is now inseparable from the club's image.
The blue and white diamonds of Bavaria regularly appear on the collections, on an away shirt or on a special kit. It's a pattern that immediately resonates with German supporters and sets Bayern apart from other European clubs.
“Mia san mia,” Bavarian dialect for “we are who we are,” serves as the club's motto and appears on certain items of the collection.
Home, away, third: which one to choose?
The home shirt is the red of the Allianz Arena, the one that most supporters buy and which remains identifiable long after.
The away shirt changes base each year, and it's often the one that incorporates Bavarian codes. It's also the one that's easiest to wear outside the stadium.
The third takes the most liberties in design and is released in smaller quantities. It's the one that becomes sought after once it’s sold out.
Supporter version or player version?
The supporter version has a straight cut, more spacious, made from breathable yet soft material. It's the one worn at the stadium and on the street, and the default choice if you're unsure.
The player version, known as authentic, replicates the on-pitch kit: tight fit, technical fabric, different finishes. It is notably more fitted, to the point that it’s common to go one size up, sometimes two.
What size Bayern shirt to choose?
In the supporter version, your usual t-shirt size fits in most cases, with enough room to wear a layer underneath, which is useful in Bavaria in winter.
In the player version, it's wise to go one size up at minimum, as these shirts are fitted.
For children, junior sizes follow age and height in centimeters rather than adult sizes.
Printing: name, number and badges
The official Bundesliga printing has its own typography, different from that used in the Champions League. This distinguishes an official customization from an approximation.
A personalised shirt is no longer exchangeable, so size should be checked before ordering. And a name of a player is a long-term bet, which leads some supporters to keep a plain shirt.
Other Bundesliga clubs
The German championship isn't just about Munich, and each club has its own page:
- The Borussia Dortmund, the main rival and the opponent in the Klassiker, with the Yellow Wall at Signal Iduna Park.
- The Bayer Leverkusen and RB Leipzig, the most regular competitors at the top of the table.
- The Eintracht Frankfurt, the VfB Stuttgart, the Borussia Mönchengladbach, and the Werder Bremen, four clubs with a rich history.
- Schalke 04, Hamburg SV, Hertha Berlin, Wolfsburg, and Hoffenheim complete the selection.
The other clubs page covers the rest of the league, and the Bundesliga page brings them all together all.

Frequently asked questions
What does “Mia san mia” mean?
It's Bavarian dialect for “we are who we are.” The phrase serves as the club's motto and appears on certain pieces of the collection.
What’s the difference between the supporter and player shirts?
The supporter shirt has a straight and comfortable cut, designed for everyday wear. The player shirt mimics the on-pitch kit, with a close fit and more technical fabric, therefore it’s quite a lot more fitted.
Should I go one size up?
In the supporter version, your usual size works. In the player version, plan for one size up at minimum, sometimes two if you don’t want a tight-fitting shirt.
Are Bayern shirts available in kids' sizes?
Yes, the main shirts come in junior sizes, both home and away. The grids follow age and height in centimeters.
