Updated:2025-12-06 07:30 Views:187In 1819, Bayern Munich was founded as a football club in Munich, Germany. The team's first home jersey featured the club's crest and the word "Bayern" in white letters on a red background. However, it wasn't until several years later that Bayern began to wear their famous away jersey.
The away jersey from 1819 was a simple design with only the team name and the word "Bayern" in black letters on a white background. It was not until the early 20th century that Bayern began to incorporate more intricate designs into their away jerseys.
One of the most iconic away jerseys worn by Bayern is the one they wore during their historic run to the final of the 1974 FIFA World Cup. This jersey featured a stylized image of a lion wearing a green and gold jersey, along with the words "Bayern München" in black letters on a white background. The jersey became so popular that it was even worn by players like Franz Beckenbauer and Uli Hoeness.
Over time, Bayern's away jerseys have continued to evolve, incorporating new colors and designs. However, the classic design of the 1819 jersey remains one of the most recognizable in the world of football. It's no wonder that this jersey has become a legend in its own right, representing the history and tradition of Bayern Munich.
