Why did Bayern Munich release their away kit before their home kit?

Bayern Munich fans were surprised by the early unveiling of the 2025/26 away kit, which honors the Allianz Arena's 20th anniversary. Typically, the home kit is released first; however, this release is significant as it coincides with the anniversary and the upcoming match against Borussia Mönchengladbach—marking the first Bundesliga game played at the stadium. While the kit's design is abstract, it reflects the stadium's architecture. Notably, this game will also see Thomas Müller honoring his final home match, with a special print on his jersey.

Bayern Munich's away kit for the 2025/26 season pays tribute to the Allianz Arena, celebrating its 20th anniversary and evoking memories of their inaugural game.

The decision to release the away kit first, contrary to tradition, is tied to a significant occasion: the club's 20 years of home games at the Allianz Arena.
