Bavarian Fashion Works: German national team round-up

While Bavarian Fashion Works typically focuses on Bayern Munich’s kits and attire, the German national team’s gear has become a hot button top among fans — particularly with the release of an edgy new away kit.

Adidas spokesman Oliver Brüggen told SID that the sales on the new away kit are record breaking (as captured by @iMiaSanMia):

Adidas spokesman Oliver Brüggen says Germany’s new away shirt has had the best sales start ever for a German away kit. The home one is also ‘very popular’. The advertising campaign for the new shirts was a big success. The reactions to the spots and the reach of the films “exceeded our expectations,” said Brüggen [@SID_Sportnews]

While some fans have pushed back against the pink kits, Bayern Munich legend Uli Hoeneß dismissed the criticism.

“All these things are nonsense. They can even play with a naked torso and something painted on. The most important thing is what happens on the pitch. I couldn’t care less about what they’re wearing,” Hoeneß told Bild via (@iMiaSanMia).

Bayern Munich’s Jamal Musiala will be wearing the #10 jersey for the German national team:

Speaking with RTL (as captured by @iMiaSanMia), Musiala expressed his joy with being given the #10:

Musiala on getting the #10 shirt with the national team and whether it was his wish: “Yes, I think the number 10 has been a dream for me since I was a little kid, whenever I watched Messi or something like that. But I won’t let it get to my head. I’ll play the same game even if I had a different number. But it feels really special to be able to wear the #10.”

Meanwhile, Real Madrid star Toni Kroos will wear the #8 jersey, which used to be assigned to Leon Goretzka:

And that Kroos jersey is, well, pretty popular:

Had he been able to attend camp, Aleksandar Pavlović would have worn #25:
