Bayern Munich have been banned from wearing their home kit in the Champions League due to the colour of their numbers
The German giants will return to European action this week as they take on Celtic on Wednesday, but throughout the tournament they’ve had to wear their away strips when playing at the Allianz Arena. In their recent win over Slovan Bratislava in Bavaria they wore their beige kit.
UEFA imposed a ban and modifications will have to be made to their home shirt this wear if they want to wear red in the remaining games of this season’s Champions League.
BILD reports that European football’s governing body have taken issue with the dark numbers on the red jersey, which they claim do not offer enough contrast for viewers. It is understood to be a violation of the visibility regulations.
It leaves Bayern having to wear either their black or a beige strips. When they head to Glasgow this week they will do so without their red kit, despite their being no kit clash with Celtic’s green and red hoops.
The Bundesliga leaders have endured mixed fortunes in Europe this term, which is why they’ve had to go through the first knockout phase. The top eight sides qualified automatically for the last 16 whilst a host of other sides have to play-off before booking their place.
