Jersey of the Month

This months jersey is an instant classic. The 2008/09 1860 Munich jersey created by Erima. With the the stylized Bavarian Lion in the bottom, this Jersey is a throwback version of the 1994/95 season Lotto Jersey (on the Right). Erima became the new jersey producer for 1860 last summer an vowed to come out with a product that would be specifically created for 1860. They stayed true to their promise and created a jersey that is as such unique in the 1st and 2nd Bundesliga, perhaps even in all of Europe. The jersey is also available in light blue and white, with white being the base colour and blue the colour of the Lion. The Green and Gold jersey is in fact the teams third jersey. Few people know that the actual colours of the club are Green and Gold, and that the Blue and White that 1860 usually wears are actually only the colours of the Football department of the Sports Club. The Lion was chosen as the symbol of the club, because the club was founded in the Löwenbräu (Lion Brew) beerhall. To destinguish the Löwenbräu Lion from the 1860 Lion the club added a second tail.
