Despite Bayern’s dream start, FCB fans announce protests! | OneFootball

Seven victories in seven mandatory games, everything is going according to plan for FC Bayern in terms of sports. However, there is ongoing unrest surrounding the jerseys of the record champions. The Ultras from the South Curve are planning a protest action against the current jersey policy of the club for the home game against Werder Bremen.

For the Oktoberfest matchday, the Bayern stars will be wearing the new Wiesn jersey in beige and green with a modified club emblem on Friday evening as reported by FCB Inside – much to the displeasure of many supporters. Under the motto "Joint fan action for THE ONE FC Bayern jersey", protest flags are to be displayed in the stadium and on fan club banners, as BILD reports.

The initiative is based on previous actions of the South Curve. The goal is for FC Bayern to permanently play in a classic, red and white home jersey with a white collar – similar to how Real Madrid has been playing in white for decades. The fan group "Club Nr. 12" explains on their homepage:

"In recent years, we have unfortunately been increasingly exposed to a jersey design that is increasingly distancing itself from the fans at the base and our tradition. (...) We want a red and white jersey that stands for our identity: We are the Bayern! Unique in red and white, with recognition value and anchored in the hearts of entire generations of fans."

Dissatisfaction despite sales hits

Club officials have repeatedly emphasized in discussions with fans that they want to establish a simple red and white jersey in the long term. So far, however, it is only Manuel Neuer's Champions League goalkeeper jersey that meets these expectations – and promptly became a bestseller.

The South Curve feels confirmed by this response and wants to continue to put pressure on the club management with their actions. The protest on Friday is likely to be just the beginning – and will continue over the coming months.
