Harry Kane shows off Bayern Munich's special new Champions League kit for 2025-26 season

Harry Kane is among the Bayern stars to have modelled the new black shirt, featuring red and green accents. There is reference to Bayern's status as Germany's record champions, as well as Marienplatz at the heart of Munich, where the squad celebrates title wins. The badge used is the historic FC Bayern eV logo from the 1920s, alongside the retro adidas Trefoil.

The shirt hem features the message, "Greetings from the Town Hall Balcony", a nod to the famous spot where trophies are paraded to the delight of gathered fans. It is all part of the adidas effort to help Bayern "celebrate their Munich heritage".

A club statement explained: "The new Champions League kit marks the third round of the successful collaboration between FC Bayern, adidas and BSTN. The jointly developed jersey once again makes a strong statement for home, identity and culture, with the entire design celebrating the close ties between club, players and fans at the Allianz Arena, on the streets of Munich and all around the world. The black jersey with red, green and off-white accents combines sporting function with urban style. Retro details like the historic FC Bayern eV logo from the 1920s and the iconic adidas Trefoil logo reflect the club's rich history and give it a modern twist. A stylish tribute that impresses both on the pitch and in streetwear culture."

Bayern will discover the identity of the new season's first Champions League opponent when the league phase draw is made by UEFA on August 28. As was the case last season when the competition was overhauled and reformatted, eight teams will be drawn for Bayern to face, needing to finish in the top 24 of the 36-team standings to qualify for the knockout rounds - a top eight finish means a bye straight to the last 16.

Matchday one will be played on September 16-18, but the new European jersey will actually debut sooner than that, in a pre-season game against Tottenham Hotspur at the Allianz Arena on August 7.
