German Bundesliga reigning champion FC Bayern has unveiled a special edition of its 2026/27 adidas third kit to mark Diwali, the Hindu festival of lights. Designed by artist Abhay Sehgal in collaboration with the club, the FC Bayern 2026 jersey will be part of the team’s 2026 campaign.
Sehgal built the design around the dreams of young footballers. Diwali is one of the most important festivals in India and stands for light, hope and a new beginning, and he used those themes as the foundation of his work. He pairs that symbolism with the belief that every child should have the chance to pursue their dreams, whatever their background.
India’s artistic and craft heritage served as his main source of inspiration. He turned to traditional techniques, including embroidery and block printing, to bring the concept onto the shirt. The vibrant color palette reflects the energy, warmth and festive atmosphere associated with Diwali.
The finished FC Bayern 2026 Diwali shirt is a single, unique piece that connects football, art and cultural identity, rather than an addition to the club’s regular range. It tells a story about the hopes of young people and the way sport can bring people together across borders.
Fans searching for the FC Bayern 2026 jersey should note that this Diwali edition is a special version of the third kit and is not intended for sale.
