Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich have been prohibited from wearing their red home kit in the UEFA Champions League this season due to concerns raised by UEFA regarding the kit's design.

UEFA has determined that the colours used to print the numbers and the names on the back of the club's red jerseys violate visibility regulations.

Bayern's red home kit is one of the most iconic football jerseys in the world. It reflects the club’s rich history and dominance in German and European football. The club has traditionally worn red as its primary colour, often paired with white or blue details.

Over the years, the club kits have featured various designs, from simple red shirts to more intricate patterns, but the dominant theme has remained classic and striking.

As per BILD, UEFA has ruled that the dark-coloured numbers and names on Bayern Munich's red jersey lack adequate contrast, making them difficult to read during matches.

The European Football governing body enforces strict kit regulations to ensure clear contrast between teams for visibility on TV and for match officials

While the ban presents a temporary setback, Bayern has multiple solutions to address the issue quickly. To comply with UEFA's guidelines, Bayern would need to change the lettering and numbering to white.
