When it comes to innovation, Bayern Munich is in the front row. He also demonstrated this during the coronavirus lockdown, creating protective masks made from scarves. The wonderful aspect is the uniqueness of the masks: being obtained from different parts of the famous white red scarves of the Bavarian club, each mask has a different design. After the concepts launched by Aircreative for La Liga, the first official masks produced by a club arrive.

The initiative stems from the idea of two Bayern München players, Joshua Kimmich and Leon Goretzka, who have launched a fundraiser called "WeKickCorona". All profits from the sale of the masks will be donated to activities engaged in the fight against the pandemic. The masks are available in two different formats (adult and child). In the last hours, the Bavarian club has announced that the masks were ready for the Champions League match against Chelsea on 18 March, a match that was never played because of the lockdown that blocked the world of football.

"With this action, we want to show that FC Bayern is doing everything possible to deal with the pandemic in an exemplary and disciplined manner. Meanwhile, we are pleased to be able to contribute to the marvellous initiative of Joshua and Leon. This is a great example of how our players recognise their functions as role models in society and are showing solidarity in this crisis”
Karl-Heinz Rummenigge

After the words of Rummenigge, those of Joshua Kimmich, one of the creators of WeKickCorona arrive: "We never wanted this operation to be attributable only to me and Leon, but we have always tried to involve as many people as possible. It is nice that the club support us and now we hope for donations that will be useful to support a just cause". 100,000 masks have already been sold.
