A new jersey leak is causing a stir at FC Bayern. The Munich club are apparently planning a fifth jersey for the 2026/27 season – and it could provide plenty to talk about with its unusual color combination
FC Bayern usually presents three new regular jerseys at the start of a new season: a home jersey, an away jersey and a jersey for the Champions League
As the portal Footy Headlines reports, FC Bayern is planning an additional fourth jersey for the new 2026/27 season and is relying on an unusual color design. While the basic tone is to be predominantly white, magenta elements set targeted accents and give the jersey a modern, eye-catching look
Although there are no official images or final designs yet, the first renderings already show the direction the jersey could take, with the magenta details apparently being strongly based on the corporate identity of the main sponsor Telekom
Connection to the main sponsor
The choice of colors is probably no coincidence: magenta has been firmly associated with FC Bayern’s main sponsor for years and has already shaped numerous of the club’s marketing and advertising appearances
A jersey in this color combination would now bring this partnership even more into focus – and at the same time represent a break with the classic Bayern colors of red and white
It is precisely this point that could lead to discussions. There are already signs that the design could divide the fan camps. While some supporters are likely to welcome the bold and modern approach, traditionalists may be unfamiliar with the unusual choice of colors
Above all, the fact that this is a fourth jersey leaves room for creative experimentation – without changing the classic home and away jerseys
Further details still open
Apart from the basic colors, hardly any details are known so far, including whether the jersey will feature special patterns or how striking the design will actually be in the end
The final crest design could also play a role: a full-color club logo would make the overall look calmer, while additional magenta elements could make the look much more eye-catching
One thing is clear: FC Bayern is clearly taking a new step with this jersey – and is already causing a stir long before the official presentation.
