Embarrassing slip-up: new BVB kit accidentally leaked | OneFootball

A glitch at BVB causes annoyance: The new Champions League jersey has surfaced on the internet before its planned presentation. Now, crystal clear images of the players in the hitherto secret jersey are circulating.

Borussia Dortmund has experienced an unwanted jersey premiere. The club actually wanted to officially present the new Champions League jersey in the context of the draw at the end of August. However, over the weekend, photos of the players in the new outfit were already circulating before the away game - and not in poor quality, but as professional shots.

According to information from the WAZ, the images first appeared in the database of a photo agency that regularly works with BVB. Due to an upload error, the shots were also accessible to customers. From there, they made their way into social networks, where they were quickly spread. The files disappeared shortly afterwards, but too late: The jersey images had already made their rounds.

Among those seen in the images are Julian Duranville, Filippo Mane, Karim Adeyemi, Felix Nmecha, Serhou Guirassy and also Giovanni Reyna - although the latter has since moved to Borussia Mönchengladbach. The fact that the American was still involved in the shoot makes the shots particularly curious.

BVB Leak: Champions League jersey already online in advance

Visually, BVB is opting for a rather simple design in Europe this time. The jersey is predominantly yellow, with black elements on the sleeves, collar and under the armpits. The club emblem is emblazoned on the chest - apparently even in an older version - along with the Vodafone sponsor logo in black. On the right upper arm are the patches of the Champions League and the UEFA Foundation for Children.

The leak hits the club at a sensitive time. The recently presented home and away jerseys were already a flop with many fans, who were now hoping for a more appealing alternative from the European Cup jersey. This is precisely why the Ruhr club had placed great importance on a large, attention-grabbing presentation - which has now prematurely fizzled out.

It remains to be seen when Borussia Dortmund will officially unveil the jersey. But one thing is certain: The internet never forgets, and the new BVB jersey is already known all over the world.
