Bayern Munich kits 2011-2012 season


Bayern Munich kits 2011-2012 season, 2011. Digital vector art. Illustrator CS2.

I was pleasantly surprised a few days ago when Uli Hoeness, president of the German football club Bayern Munich, called me up on my mobile. He had a proposition for me, he asked, "Hey D, we heard you might have some time to dedicate to designing the uniforms for our 2011-2012 season, would you be able to give it a go?" To which I replied, "Gosh, Mr. President after all the joy the club has brought to me over the years, it would be my honor to design what they wear on the field."

The home kit is inspired by the run of design that has been seen over the past few years. A common thread throughout my line is the use of the herringbone pattern. It is used here in the shorts and bold red stripe, between which is a thin pen stripe.

The away jersey features the color black which represents Munich's monastic origins. It also uses the herringbone pattern to mimic the Lederhosen outfit's suspenders/ drop front flap.

In the 3rd/ Champions League kit I used pieces from the Bavarian coat of arms. It is also a nod to Bayern Munich's first colors which were blue.
