Bayern Munich will wear only Red and White

No more purple, mint or blue, the supporters have won against the club.

Bayern Munich will wear only Red and White No more purple, mint or blue, the supporters have won against the club.

Bayern Munich fans seem to have won a battle against their club. During this season the supporters of the German team had started to protest for the use of blue navy in the official uniforms of the club. The reasons for this position are also much easy to understand, blue is the main color of the city rivals of Monaco 1860 and the fans consider red and white a strong symbol of identity and belonging to the team, who do not want to see modified.

The campaign of protest of the fans was called "Paragraph 1", precisely because it appealed to the official statute of the club, wherein the first paragraph the red and the white are indicated as official colors. So after a long series of protests that also condemned the use of the Mint color for the away kit and the Purple color for the third kit, the dialogue between the company and a representant of supporters has led to the prevailing of fans' voice, which, even before the last match against Herta Berlin, had exposed a controversial choreography, in which a giant jersey from Bayern in the mid-90s was exposed, obviously only red and white, with a banner with the write ""Die Clubfarben Sind Rot und Weiss" in English "The Colors of the club are Red and White".

Blue had started to appear on Bayern Munich shirts during the 1995/1996 season and for the following two years, then from 1997 to 2003 the jerseys had been characterized by the use of black, returning to the use of the blue in the 2014/2015 season, alternating with vertical stripes with white and red. It was a very pretty shirt in reality, but not for Allianz Arena. Now the status has been changed, only for home games, however, and what seemed a real trade union struggle, showed us a collaborative side of the relationship between teams and supporters, not violent and effective.
