In the 2025/26 season, the numbers on the back of the shirts tell powerful stories of ambition and belonging.
Jamal Musiala chooses #42 as a tribute to his father’s birth year, a number representing family roots and resilience. His decision to stay at Bayern stems from a deep bond with the club that nurtured his genius.
Florian Wirtz, joining from Leverkusen, selects #11 to honor his idol Arjen Robben, embracing the pressure of legacy. For him, Bayern is the stage where dreams become legends.
And then there’s the veteran striker, let’s name him Serge Gnabry, who, after a few seasons, switches to #7. This number, steeped in Bayern's history, was a personal request. He feels a deep connection to the club's legacy and wants to honor the great players who came before him. The No. 7 is a promise to the fans and to himself to deliver moments of magic and continue his legacy at the club.
The 2025/26 FC Bayern home jersey draws its inspiration from the Olympiastadion, a landmark that holds a special place in the club's heart.
It was the home of FC Bayern for 33 years, witnessing countless moments of glory, including multiple Bundesliga titles and the historic 1974 European Cup triumph.
The subtle patterns on the jersey reflect the unique cable-net roof structure of the stadium, a symbol of innovation and strength.
This design is a nod to the club’s glorious past while looking toward a future of continued success, a wearable piece of history that connects the team and its fans to the roots of their greatness.
