While in Bayern Munich, Harry Kane will have to adhere to a rigid dress code.
Kane has adapted to German football with ease since leaving Tottenham for a reported £100 million. The England captain’s three goals in his first two Bundesliga games made him just the third player in Bayern Munich history to accomplish the feat.
Kane also pledged to study German and charmed local reporters off the field by speaking in a Bavarian dialect during his debut news conference.
The striker must now comply by a number of restrictions because he is now playing for one of the largest and most watched clubs in international football.
Indeed, one clothing rule Bayern players must follow is that they must don Adidas clothing at official events.
According to a Mail Online report players are contracted to wear Adidas clothing at all official club events, with football shoes being the only exception to the rule.
The rule is strictly enforced, with Mario Gotze, Mario Gomez and Jan Kirchhoff having all been fined by Bayern for wearing Nike clothes rather than kit from club sponsors back in 2013.
Upon signing for Bayern from Borussia Dortmund and Mainz respectively Gotze and Kirchhoff, both turned up to their presentation wearing t-shirts with big Nike logos on them.
Bayern were subsequently forced to release a statement which said: “The pictures from today’s press conference with Mario Gotze have negatively surprised us.
“Contractually it is not permissible because it is an official function of Adidas partner Bayern Munich. We have already discussed with Bayern Munich.”
The amount they were each fined was never disclosed, but the trio all donated the money to flood victims in Germany after the country was hit by major flooding.
Speaking on the reason behind his move to Bayern, Kane told the Guardian: “There’s a lot of talk about trophies but that wasn’t the only reason I went to Bayern Munich.
“If I wanted to finally get better, I had to be performing at my best.
“I need to be competing for titles and playing in the Champions League if I want to be around the top attackers and players in the world. For me personally, the previous season was successful, but not for Spurs as a whole. It was time to go forward once more.
