The FC Bayern website at fcbayern.com is the club's own home, and its online store sells the official kits, training wear, scarves, fan gifts and the club's lifestyle range. Everything ships from the club's operation in Germany, so prices are set in euros for most visitors.
Most FC Bayern orders turn on three decisions: which version of the shirt to buy, whether to add printing, and how to handle delivery and duties if you live outside the EU.
Replica or authentic: the two FC Bayern shirts
FC Bayern kits are made by adidas and come in two grades. The replica, often labelled the fan or stadium shirt, uses a looser cut, embroidered or stitched badges and a heavier knit that survives the washing machine and a season of match days.
The authentic version is the shirt the players wear. It is cut tighter, uses lighter performance fabric and heat-pressed crests, and costs noticeably more. It is built for movement, not for being worn over a hoodie at the Allianz Arena in February.
For most FC Bayern supporters the replica is the better buy. Choose the authentic shirt if you play in it, want the exact match detail, or are buying a collector's piece.
Sizing a FC Bayern kit
Replica FC Bayern shirts follow standard adidas sizing and fit true for most people. Authentic shirts run a size small because of the athletic cut; many buyers go up one size.
Kids' kits are sized by age or height in centimetres. Buy for the height the child will be by the middle of the season, since a new kit usually follows the next summer.
Check the size chart on the product page of the FC Bayern store rather than relying on another brand's sizing, and measure a shirt you already own flat on a table to compare.
Name, number and badge printing
The FC Bayern store offers official printing of a player's name and number, or your own name, plus competition sleeve badges on some shirts. The printing uses the club's official lettering, which is the main reason to buy from the club rather than a market stall.
Printing adds to the price and to the dispatch time. More importantly, a printed shirt is usually treated as personalised, which commonly means it cannot be returned unless faulty. Confirm the size before you add a name.
Think about the player too. Squads change every transfer window, and a shirt with a departing player's name dates quickly. Your own name, or a club legend, lasts longer.
Beyond the shirt: what else the FC Bayern store sells
The range goes well past match kits. Training tops, rain jackets, tracksuits and the pre-match warm-up shirts are popular with people who want the badge without the full kit price.
The FC Bayern lifestyle and Oktoberfest-style ranges, scarves, mugs, home goods and children's gifts make up much of the rest. These lines see the deepest markdowns, particularly at the end of a season.
For a gift, a scarf or training top is safer than a shirt: sizing matters less, and no printing means the usual return rules apply.
Delivery, customs and returns
FC Bayern orders ship from Germany. Within the EU there are no customs charges, and delivery is typically a few working days. Outside the EU, including the UK and US, import duties and taxes may be charged on arrival, so check the store's delivery page for your country before ordering.
Unprinted items can usually be returned within the stated period in original condition with tags attached; check the current window on the FC Bayern returns page. Keep the packaging until you are sure of the fit.
When FC Bayern prices drop
New kits launch in the summer and sell at full price through the autumn. The previous season's shirts are reduced once the replacement lands, and the biggest reductions come at the end of the season and around Black Friday.
If you want the current home shirt at launch, a code is the main saving. If you are happy with last season's design, wait for the sale and add a code on top where the terms allow.
Where the FC Bayern savings are
The 25% code is the strongest on a full-price shirt with printing, where the percentage works on the whole bill. Check whether it excludes new-season kits, which clubs often protect in the first weeks after launch.
The €15 code beats 25% on any basket under €60, such as a scarf and a mug. Above that, the percentage wins.
The free-shipping code matters most on small orders, where delivery can be a large share of the total. FC Bayern codes generally do not combine, so pick the one that saves most on your basket.
Common questions
Is the FC Bayern replica shirt good quality?
Yes. It is the same design and badge as the authentic shirt, in a more durable fabric and relaxed cut.
Can I return a printed FC Bayern shirt?
Usually not, because printing makes it personalised. Only faulty items are normally accepted, so check the size first.
Does the FC Bayern store ship worldwide?
It ships to many countries. Non-EU buyers may pay import charges on delivery, so check the country page first.
When is the new FC Bayern kit released?
Home kits normally launch in early summer, before the new season. Away and third kits follow over the next weeks.
