Founded in 1900, Bayern Munich's crest contains a white and blue diagonal pattern. This represents the coat of arms of the Wittelsbach dynasty (rulers of Upper Bavaria from 1240-1918). It’s enclosed by red, which comes from the coat of arms of Franconia. Red and white are the primary colors on the Bayern Munich home jersey. Check back each season for the new Bayern Munich away jersey design. As a top competitor in the Bundesliga (Germany's premier soccer league), be sure to catch a game against one of their rivals - Borussia Dortmund or 1. FC Nürnberg.
