Adidas - Bayern Munchen 2001/02 Home Football Shirt 'ANDERSSON'

This is Bayern Munich’s 2001/02 home shirt by adidas, featuring Patrik Andersson 5 on the back. The shirt carries the classic Opel sponsor on the chest, adidas branding, and With Andersson on the back, it also links directly to one of the club’s most important defenders from that period.

The design is a strong example of early-2000s Bayern identity. The deep red body is combined with dark navy side panels and sleeves, giving the shirt a more powerful and athletic look than a plain all-red design. The white adidas shoulder stripes and white sponsor print lift the shirt nicely and create strong contrast across the front.

What makes it especially appealing is how balanced it feels. It has the boldness typical of early-2000s football shirts, but without becoming too busy. The raglan sleeve construction, oversized sponsor, and slightly looser silhouette are all very much of the era. On the back, the Bayern München arch above the number is a great period detail, and the Andersson 5 nameset gives the shirt extra character and collector value.

The 2001/02 season came directly after Bayern’s Champions League triumph in 2001, so shirts from this period still carry that aura of a side operating at the top of European football. While the campaign itself did not end with the same silverware high, Bayern remained packed with established names and strong personalities.

That is where Patrik Andersson makes this shirt particularly interesting. He was a key defensive figure for Bayern around this period and is especially remembered for his importance in one of the club’s most dramatic title moments. Because of that, a Bayern shirt with Andersson on the back stands out a little from the more common attacking-player namesets and gives the piece a stronger football-historic feel.

Overall, this is a very collectible shirt: classic Opel-era Bayern, strong early-2000s adidas styling, and a nameset tied to an important Scandinavian figure in the club’s modern history.

Shirt Condition: 7.5/10
