Leak reveals new BVB kit: will the retro look win fans over? | OneFootball

Borussia Dortmund's new home jersey for the 2026/27 season has surfaced online ahead of schedule. The leak promises plenty of yellow, subtle details, and a return of white in a retro look.

First images of Borussia Dortmund's home jersey for the 2026/27 season have emerged, suggesting a mix of tradition, city connection, and a touch of retro. The supplier remains Puma, with the long-term partnership with the Ruhr club known to continue until 2034.

Visually, the new jersey clearly focuses on the club's identity. Yellow dominates the design much more strongly than before. While black elements are still present, they appear more subtly – such as in the chest area and in details on the collar and sleeves. Notably, a color that hasn't been seen on a home jersey for a long time makes a comeback: White returns for the first time since the mid-2000s, complementing the classic yellow-black color palette with fine accents.

A special feature is said to be a geometric pattern in the fabric. This appears to be a homage to the city's industrial past. Steel structures and grid-like forms, reminiscent of landmarks such as the Dortmund U, are said to have served as inspiration. Thus, the design ties not only to the club colors but also to the history of the Ruhr area.

There are also innovations in the details: The Puma logo is not only on the chest but also appears on the shoulder area of the sleeves – an element that has not been seen in this form on a BVB home jersey before.

Overall, according to the leaked images, the jersey appears significantly simpler than some of the more recent designs. This reduced, almost nostalgic look is likely to appeal to many fans. In the past, parts of the fanbase have repeatedly criticized more striking designs. If the leak proves true, BVB could hit the mark with its fans with this home jersey – and possibly land a real bestseller.
