Bayern Supporters Step Up Push for Single Red-and-White Home Kit as Club Opens Dialogue
Club leaders point to merchandising realities during talks with organized fan groups.
Overview
- At the Werder Bremen match, the Südkurve unveiled a giant red jersey display with the message “Ein Trikot. Größer als alle anderen.” to press for a simple red-and-white home shirt.
- The supporters’ alliance, led by Club Nr. 12 with the ultra group Schickeria prominent, announced coordinated follow-up actions through a public newsletter.
- For the next home game, fans are being instructed to hang roughly 1x1 meter flags in the “ONE FC Bayern” design, with distribution at Südkurvenplatz and the AKFD registration stand.
- CEO Jan-Christian Dreesen said the club is in open exchange with fans and will review the situation for next season’s home kit, noting the current shirt meets colors but not the preferred design.
- Reporting highlights the club’s financial concern that an unchanging home design could depress annual shirt sales, a key factor in resisting a permanent single-kit approach.
