The issue was that both of them appeared on the photo wearing Bayern shirts, something which caused great unrest among Bayern board and Adidas.
Bayern threatened Rafinha with an important economic fine if he didn't remove the tweet. They ended up posting a photo with the Bayern shirts but without Bayern's and Adidas' logos.
As a consequence of this issue, Adidas has increasingly pressured Bayern's board to take measures as they have lost the patience with Nike (Remember Gotze and Kirchoff incidents).
Apparently, our board is seriously considering to impose to new signings to renounce to their Nike deal in order to sign with Bayern. As this seems highly unlikely, they might consider to sign just players who are under contract with Adidas from now on.

I am a firm believer in Bayern's philosophy of being an efficient debt free club and not splashing insane amounts of cash like some other European clubs. However, I think it's time to reconsider that approach for the next decade. We have entered an era of super clubs, thankfully us being one of them. If Bayern can win the CL three times in the next 7-8 years and also do what Barcelona did in 2009 (Six trophies in a year) then that would put us on the level of Real Madrid globally. The Bundesliga is growing in popularity in Asia, North America and Africa and if Bayern can win the big trophies on multiple occasions that'll cause Bayern's popularity to explode in overseas markets. Merchandise and shirt sales would be competing the likes of Madrid, Barcelona and United. Bayern and Bundesliga could/would make a lot of money of lucrative TV broadcasting deals.
Therefore, I think Ato achieve this sort of success Bayern must set serious targets in the transfer markets and pursue them ruthlessly. Splash the cash if that means multiple CL wins in the coming years. The increase in popularity and price money will more than make up for any debts that are incurred. It's time to go for the jugular! So sign Top class players who will strengthen Bayern every more and almost guarantee the CL in the coming years on more than one occasion.
