For the first time, Thomas Müller wore a different club strict in his professional career than that of FC Bayern. This differed from that of his teammates.
At Müller’s first appearance at a new place of work, the 2014 world champion also fell in mind. This differed from that of his colleagues. Because: A special debut badge of the Major League Soccer was emblazoned over the logo of Whitecaps supplier Adidas.
Background of the whole: The MLS and Fanatics Collectibles, the department for collecting cards and collectibles of the digital sports platform Fanatics, introduced the badge in early 2024. At the time, it was said in a message that every player who makes his debut in the MLS bears the badge in his first game. It is irrelevant whether it is a new addition or a young player.
Meanwhile, Müller is by no means the first German professional to make the badge in his debut on the jersey. Ex-national team colleague Marco Reus, who moved from Borussia Dortmund to La Galaxy in 2024, ran in his first game with the so-called “Debut Patch”.
Exciting: the badges are only glued on. After the game, they are removed from the jersey of the respective player and integrated into a collective card. This also includes an autograph of the player and ends up in a random card pack. Means: Fans who acquire such a pack will have the chance to hold Thomas Müller’s debut badge in their hands with a good portion.
