"A red-and-white striped shirt and black shorts: PSV traditionally wear this kit at the Philips Stadium, posing a challenge for many kitmen. The outfit contains many common colours, so away teams must improvise to set them apart from the home team. For the first time, Vincent Kompany's men will combine the black Champions League jersey with the red shorts of the home kit and black socks in Eindhoven on Wednesday night."
"Bayern and PSV first met in Eindhoven in October 1986. Munich wore the white away shirt, "Brazilian shorts" and blue socks. The yellow and blue jerseys inspired by the Seleção were part of Munich's repertoire and had their origins in the 1983/84 season, when an experiment in kit choice helped FCB put an end to a negative run in Kaiserslautern (more here)."
PSV's traditional red-and-white striped shirt with black shorts creates frequent colour clashes at the Philips Stadium, requiring visiting teams to alter kits for distinction. Vincent Kompany's Bayern will wear a hybrid of the black Champions League jersey with PSV's red shorts and black socks in Eindhoven. Historical precedents include Bayern's 1986 use of a yellow-and-blue "Brazilian" ensemble and blue socks, a combination that produced a 2-0 win, and a 1990 pairing of a white away jersey with red socks and dark blue shorts. Bayern also used a grey-and-black kit variant in 2016/17.
