Shirt condition
Good condition
The fabric is in good condition: the red is still bright, the wide white hoops are clean, and the embroidered badge with its three stars is intact (photo 3). The T-Home sponsor is sharp. The weak point is the print on the back: the number 30 and the BAYERN MÜNCHEN lettering show a lot of cracking (photo 5). They are complete and readable, but the wear is clearly visible up close.

Workshop note — The 02/07 date and code 688134 match the production of the home shirt launched in summer 2007 and kept by Bayern for 2008-2009. The date is slightly faded on the label but still readable: I always cross-check it with the article code.
Lell's Bayern, between double and transition
This red shirt with wide white hoops dressed Bayern for two seasons. The first, 2007-2008, was a triumph: with newly signed Ribéry and Toni, the club won the Bundesliga and German Cup double.
Christian Lell, a homegrown right-back, was part of the squad in both seasons before joining Hertha Berlin in 2009.
2008-2009, Wolfsburg's year. Bayern finished second, behind a Wolfsburg side crowned champions for the first time in their history.
A collector's shirt for fans of 2000s Bayern, at a price that reflects the wear on the print.
Frequently asked questions
Can the cracked print get worse?
The cracking stays stable if you wash the shirt inside out at 30 °C, without tumble drying or ironing the print. It is visible in photo 5 and I have taken it into account in the rating and price.
How can I check the shirt is authentic?
Look at the production label sewn inside: date 02/07 and code 688134. You can check this reference yourself. Then look at the embroidered badge and its three stars.
How does this S fit?
Rather roomy for an S: 50 cm pit to pit and 74 cm long. It suits an S, or an M who likes a fitted shirt.
How much is shipping and how fast is it?
Shipped within 24-48 h with tracking: €5.99 in France, €9.99 to the EU, and free from €99.99. You have 14 days to send the shirt back if it doesn't suit you. All the details in my shipping FAQ.
