When I found out that Bayern Munich and Adidas collaborated on a third kit, I was curious to see how it would turn out and if they would go with a black kit. Well I was glad to see a black kit, however I think that it is not as nice as it could have been. Bayern Munich in a black kit should be great looking, and I would be lying to you if I said I have seen this kit on a player or the pitch. However I think they missed a golden opportunity with this kit.

On a solid field of black, Adidas tried to incorporate the Bayern Munich color scheme by adding the standard three stripes in red down the sleeves and then a red and blue vertical stripe down the right side. This is the part I do not understand nor like. If they would have taken the away kit, made it a solid field of black with red stripes down the sleeves and blue markings it would easily have been a 4, possibly a 5. But this kit is nothing more than a 2.

Like many of the clubs across the globe, Bayern Munich and Adidas went with a simple white kit for the away matches. I have nothing wrong with this, in fact I think the white kits often look sharp and classic on the pitch. It’s by far one of my favorite kit colors because of the simplicity.

On this kit Adida took the red and blue from the Bayern Munich badge and implemented the blue into the three stripes down the sleeves and the red with some markings down the sides. I really like the way this kit stands out and the colors of the badge are found throughout the kit. The one thing that I do not like, and this is for all of the newer Adidas kits, is the collar. It serves no purpose and to be honest look ridiculous on the players. Loose the collar and you have a 4 star kit, but with it, nothing more than a 3.

Bayern Munich is one of the most fabled clubs in the world. One of the top German club teams, is it any wonder why Adidas is their kit manufacturer? When they take the home pitch for the 2007-08 Bundeslig campaign and try to bring home a fourth championship, they will do so in a tradtional kit that has not changed in years.

Adidas stuck with the traditonal red and white horizontal strips for the Bayern Munich home kit. I like the simplicity and the ability to not change, however I think it would look a little better with a touch of the blue that is in the Bayern Munich badge. If nothing more than to bring out the blue in the badge, it would make the kit look that much better. Overall a solid 3 out of 5 stars for the Bayern Munich Home Kit.
