Thomas Müller leaves a legacy at FC Bayern at almost every turn, and the homegrown player's jersey is more coveted than most others. The FC Bayern Museum is now honouring Bayern’s new record appearance holder with a special display case, which includes the specially made adidas boots and the jersey he wore in his record-breaking 710th Bayern match in the 2-0 win against Freiburg on 1 September 2024. The boots are on loan from Schickeria München. The FC Bayern fans made the unique items available to the Museum after Müller handed them over to the crowd during the post-match celebrations. “710 times 100 percent for FC Bayern and no end in sight - thank you, hats off and keep it up, Thomas,” read the banner in the Südkurve. It’s also the header on the display case.
The jersey is not Müller's only match-worn shirt in the FC Bayern Museum. He has also provided his kit from the 2020 Champions League final victory. Original jerseys worn during matches are special treasures in the FC Bayern Museum. In addition to the two unique Müller jerseys, the exhibition includes Franz Beckenbauer's shirt from promotion in 1965, a Gerd Müller jersey from the 1970s, Hans-Georg ‘Katsche’ Schwarzenbeck's shirt from the 1969 DFB Cup victory, Franck Ribéry's top from the 2013 Supercup and Philipp Lahm's jersey from his last Bayern match in 2017.
Loaned items from fans in the Südkurve, such as Müller's boots, have long been a fine tradition and an expression of the shared interest in the club's history. For example, fans donated a pennant from 1927 from Club Esportiu Europa Barcelona, when FC Bayern played against a Spanish team for the first time, as well as the Julius Hirsch Award for the fight against all forms of discrimination and the trumpet of legendary crowd musician Manfred Rögelein. The fans also regularly support special exhibitions such as ‘Between the studio and the football pitch’ with photographs from Bayern’s first president, Franz John.
