BAYERN TO WEAR A SPECIAL KIT AGAINST ST PAULI TO TACKLE RACISM!






Bayern Munich are set to wear a special kit for their Bundesliga encounter against FC St. Pauli tomorrow evening at the Allianz Arena.


The kit to be worn by Bayern will have a "Red against racism" printing on the chest of the jersey to raise awareness against racism.


Additionally, Corner flags, Captain's armband, Advertising boards and more wil also have the "Red against racism" slogan.


Below is part of the statement released by Bayern stating how they plan to tackle racism:


"FC Bayern will mark the International Weeks against Racism and the DFL matchday campaign ‘Together! Stop Hate. Be a Team.’ by wearing a special jersey for their home game against FC St. Pauli at the Allianz Arena on Saturday. Main sponsor Deutsche Telekom will take a back seat on the players' chests so that Joshua Kimmich, Jamal Musiala, Harry Kane and their teammates can walk out sporting the slogan ‘Red against Racism’ from the FCB initiative for diversity and against discrimination of all kinds, which was founded five years ago in March. The visitors from Hamburg will also send out a visible signal and play in shirts bearing the St. Pauli campaign slogan ‘No place for racism’, which the Hamburg side launched in cooperation with their partner congstar. On the pitch, it's all about goals, points and winning - but off the pitch, the two clubs are united in their social message. The motto on this matchday in Munich is: ‘Two clubs - one stance’.


"As in previous years, the German record champions will also be raising awareness of diversity all around the pitch with warm-up shirts, the captain's armband, corner flags, a centre-circle banner, LED pitchside boards, and mascot Berni with the slogan ‘Red against Racism’. As in previous years, the various campaigns are embedded in the DFL campaign ‘Together! Stop Hate. Be a team.’. The jerseys will be auctioned off afterwards and, as with the sale of ‘Red against Racism’ items in FC Bayern stores, (new this year: caps) the proceeds will go to organisations that campaign for diversity and against discrimination of all kinds."


"Moreover, FC Bayern Women will dedicate their home game at the FC Bayern Campus against Leverkusen on Sunday to the leitmotif ‘Red against Racism’, and the FC Bayern basketball players will use their Euroleague matchday against Partizan Belgrade at the SAP Garden tonight to spread the message, as they did in their victory over Rostock last Saturday. The ‘Red Giants’ will also display the slogan on their shooting shirts until the end of the season."
