The Oktoberfest is canceled again, but FC Bayern presented an Oktoberfest jersey.
However, the unusual colors caused astonishment.
Munich - soccer jerseys can often arouse the emotions of the fans.
At Borussia Dortmund, the fans scolded on Wednesday about the new Champions Leauge jersey without the club logo.
FC Bayern, on the other hand, presented a new jersey in the Oktoberfest design the next day, even though there will be no Oktoberfest this year.
The most loyal Bayern supporters might not like the choice of colors for a reason.
FC Bayern Munich: New special jersey for the start of the Oktoberfest - although the Oktoberfest is canceled again
Without the pandemic, Munich's mayor Dieter Reiter would have opened the Oktoberfest this week with the tapping, but this year the Theresienwiese remains comparatively empty.
However, the renewed cancellation of the Oktoberfest did not stop FC Bayern * from designing an Oktoberfest jersey again.
Members can initially purchase this exclusively for two days in the record champion's online shop.
As the Bavarians write on their homepage, the new playwear is intended to express “the club's bond with its hometown and its traditions”.

In the 2013/14 season, FC Bayern brought a collection of traditional costumes including matching white jerseys in the shirt design and brown shorts that were supposed to resemble lederhosen.
This year, however, the Adidas designers chose a completely dark green design with golden letters and stripes - a color combination that is extremely unusual for FC Bayern.
FC Bayern: New Oktoberfest jersey of the record champions in club colors of the archenemy
Die-hard fans of FCB will notice a curious peculiarity when looking at the jersey, because green and gold are actually the club colors of the archenemy TSV 1860 Munich.
Only the colors of the Lions' soccer department are blue and white, other areas, such as the six-man tennis department, continue to use the classic club colors.
The lions also used the green-gold combo more often for their own Oktoberfest special jerseys.
The Bavarians explain the selection of colors with the fact that they create "a connection to traditional costume".
This coming weekend will show whether the message will be as well received by the fans as it is meant to be.
Julian Nagelsmann's team will wear the jerseys at the Bundesliga match on Saturday against newly promoted VfL Bochum.
