But it was not the start he would have wanted as he came off the bench in a 3-0 defeat to RB Leipzig in the German Super Cup.
And it has now come to light that there is a major issue with the white strip which Kane pulled on for his debut.
During the Leipzig loss, it was clear Bayern’s away kit was not effectively absorbing heat from the players as their skin was visible underneath.
Footy Headlines have described the jersey as “sticking to their bodies like plastic bags”.

They also claim the strip has “poor breathability”.
It is believed this was exacerbated by the 80 per cent humidity in Munich on Saturday night.
But it did not go unnoticed by those on social media as one person said: “What are those Bayern shirts made of? Pillows?!
“Everyone is drenched in sweat and they’re totally see-through.”

Bayern, who have won 11 Bundesliga titles in a row, get their league campaign underway against Werder Bremen on Friday.
Kane’s first home league match then comes against Augsburg on August 27.
At a press conference on Sunday, the striker said: “I spent my whole career and my whole life in England.
“It might take a bit of adapting to get used to a new league, different teams.
“Everyone expects Bayern to walk away with the league every year, but teams are improving and it’s a challenge.
“I’ve adapted throughout my career with Tottenham and the national team, and I’ll do that here.”

A hat-trick from Dani Olmo saw off Bayern comfortably as Kane’s wait for silverware continued.
Youngsters Mathys Tel started up front instead of the England captain, who was a substitute after officially completing his £104million move earlier that morning.
Kane eventually made his debut, coming off the bench after 63 minutes.
At that point, Bayern were already 2-0 down as the shell-shocked ex-Tottenham man watched on.

And just five minutes into his first appearance RB Leipzig got a third goal.
A fuming Tuchel ripped into his squad and apologised to Kane during his post-match interview.
He said: “I have no explanation at the moment. We’re conceding the easiest of goals.
“It’s like we haven’t done anything for four weeks.

“What we’ve shown today has nothing to do with how we trained, the form, the atmosphere. It’s alarming, just alarming.
“I’m just sorry for him [Kane].
“He probably thinks we haven’t trained for four weeks.
“Our performance today had nothing to do with what we set out to do. It’s a very bitter evening, I’m sorry.
“We were puzzled. I don’t know why. It’s a mental thing. I have no idea. I have no solution right now.
“I’m dismayed and extremely disappointed. Our style of play wasn’t recognisable.”
Bayern struggled in periods last season, which led to previous boss Julian Nagelsmann getting sacked and replaced by Tuchel.
The ex-Chelsea gaffer managed to win the league title last term in a dramatic final-day, but the Bavarian giants’ performances were not convincing.
Kane’s name was sung by supporters at the Allianz Arena yesterday and he will be hopeful of a better result next week when their league campaign starts versus Werder Bremen.

But he watched on helplessly as Dani Olmo’s hat-trick stunned the Bundesliga champions in the season’s curtain-raiser.
Olmp scored at the beginning and end of the first half to put the DFB Pokal champions 2-0 up.
Kane did come on just after the hour mark to a rapturous reception from his adoring new fans.
The announcer at Bayern’s Allianz Arena said: “Ladies and gentleman, a magic moment, welcome to Munich, Harry Kane.”

And Kane’s name had been sung by fans as he waiting to make his bow on the bench.
But within a couple of minutes of Kane’s arrival, Olmo wrapped up his hat-trick from the penalty spot.
Kane famously never won a trophy during his time at Spurs – with runner-up medals from the Champions League and two in the League Cup.
He also was on the losing side in the Euro 2020 final when England lost to Italy on penalties.

Olmo gave Leipzig the perfect start at the Allianz Arena.
A wide free-kick was not dealt with by the Bayern defence who failed to clear their lines.
The loose ball fell to Olmo and he slotted home through a crowd of bodies in the area with just three minutes on the clock.
And he doubled Leipzig’s lead on the brink of the break.
The Spanish forward produced a scintillating spin and raced on to the ball before it got away from him to poke through Sven Ulreich.
Kane could barely believe what he was watching – after all, his move to Germany was supposed to guarantee trophies from literally day one.
The Champions League is the ultimate prize in Kane’s sights with the domestic trophies so often seen as mere formalities for the Bundesliga holders.
As Bayern fans impatiently saw chance after chance go begging, they shouted for their new hero.
And Thomas Tuchel granted them their wishes by calling Kane back, giving him a quick pep talk and sending him on in place of Mathys Tel who was one of those to squander a guilt-edged chance.
No doubt Kane had dreams of spearheading a superb comeback.
But the reality was very different as he hardly managed a meaningful touch.
Instead, he watched on helplessly when the referee pointed to the spot, penalising Noussair Mazraoui for a point-blank handball.
And Olmo made no mistake, confidently slotting into the bottom corner to leave Kane to collect another silver medal.
Tuchel even apologised to Kane for Bayern’s lacklustre performance.
The former Chelsea boss said: “I’m just sorry for Harry Kane, he probably thinks we haven’t trained for four weeks”.
“Our performance today had nothing to do with what we set out to do. It’s a very bitter evening, I’m sorry”.
He added: “We were puzzled. I don’t know why. It’s a mental thing. I have no Idea. I have no solution right now. I’m dismayed and extremely disappointed. Our style of play wasn’t recognisable”

However, he could barely believe his eyes when his new team-mates conceded within three minutes to Dani Olmo.
Then Olmo made it 2-0 to the DFB-Pokal winners just before half-time.
The camera immediately cut to a stunned Kane who sat open-mouthed and baffled on the bench.
And as Bayern continued to squander chance after chance early in the second half, a fan was overheard on the Sky Sports commentary microphone repeatedly shouting for “Harry Kane”.

And after a few moments and a brief chat with boss Thomas Tuchel, Kane came on to a rapturous reception from his new adoring fans – tasked with trying to spearhead the comeback.
The stadium announcer said: “Ladies and gentlemen, a magic moment, welcome to Munich, Harry Kane.”
But within two minutes of coming on, Kane was moaning to the referee after he awarded a penalty to Leipzig.

And Olmo stepped up to slot into the bottom corner and complete the hat-trick.
Kane famously failed to win a single trophy at Tottenham, despite breaking the club’s goalscoring record and closing in on Alan Shearer’s Premier League tally.
Incredibly he could have lifted his first piece of silverware on the very same day he left to seal his mega switch to Bayern.
