Bayern release third kit inspired by Bavaria and the Alps which they will wear against Dortmund – and fans love it

GERMAN champions Bayern Munich have released their third kit for the new season - and fans on social media love it.

The fresh light blue and white design is inspired by the Bavarian Alps and will be worn in their German Super Cup clash with Borussia Dortmund.

Bayern's new kit will predominantly be used in the Champions League as the club aim to show off their Bavarian roots to the rest of Europe.

The strip features a mountainous design sketched across the front and a bright red badge to highlight the club's identity.

Bayern's famous 'mia san mia' motto - which translates to 'we are who we are' - has also been woven into the back of the collar.

According to , it symbolises the club's location and success as they 'demand to always aim for the highest peaks'.

The 31-time German champions added: "Bayern draws its strength at the foot of the mountains before heading steeply upwards.

"Bavaria is an attitude to life, a lifestyle, and that is transported to football grounds all over Europe with the new kit."
