FC Bayern München debuted the 22-23 Oktoberfest jersey on Friday night. If you watched the match or have seen images from it, you possibly noticed that Bayern did not wear a high-end Adidas kit.
Bayern München 22-23 Oktoberfest Kit Released
FC Bayern Munich 22-23 Oktoberfest Kit Only Available As Replica
The Bayern München 2022-2023 Oktoberfest jersey worn by Thomas Müller, Joshua Kimmich & Co is a 90 Euro Adidas replica kit and not a 140 Euro authentic jersey. This could be seen thanks to various elements.
First, the replica Adidas jersey features stitched logos. Second (and possibly more important when it comes to performance), it is made from Aeroready material and not Heat.Rdy.
The shirt was the same as the one designed & produced for fans
Several Bayern players had problems with their kits getting wet from sweat. This could be very well seen on the shirts of De Light, Kimmich, and Mane.

It is very uncommon that Bayern Munich wear a replica shirt that has been not produced for the players but "for the fans". What is good for Bayern is that they wore the kit for the first and last time.
