Leak reveals new BVB kit: surprise colour makes a comeback | OneFootball

The new BVB kits are already causing a stir even before their release. According to leaks, fans can expect a mix of nostalgic designs and surprising color details.

Borussia Dortmund is facing several striking design changes. The home kit for the 2026/27 season, in particular, is already the subject of much discussion even before its official unveiling: for the first time since the 2006/07 season, white elements are set to be integrated again. According to leaks from the portal Footy Headlines, yellow and black will remain dominant, but white accents will make a comeback after almost 20 years—a stylistic feature that was already used in the late 1990s, when the sides of the jersey were white.

In addition to the home kit, details about the planned European competition kit are also leaking out. Should BVB qualify for international competition, the team will likely play in a classic pinstripe design. The fine black lines on a yellow background are strongly reminiscent of the home kit from the 2008/09 season—Jürgen Klopp’s debut year—and also pick up on the modernized stripe motif of the 2024/25 season. Footy Headlines describes the design as “simple, clean, elegant,” which is intended to make it a calming influence in the debate over kit design.

Leak reveals new BVB design: White returns to the home kit

The mood is quite different when it comes to the current away kit. The gray and yellow model with the Vodafone logo is considered by many fans to be a design misstep. During the away match in Heidenheim, supporters protested with banners—one of which clearly read: “The ugliest kit in the league.”

But that’s not all: BVB is already planning another highlight for the current season. At the beginning of 2026, a special kit is set to be released to mark the 100th anniversary of the Rote Erde stadium. This historic venue was home to the first team until 1974 and now serves the U23s as well as the women’s team. However, what the anniversary kit will look like remains a closely guarded secret for now.

With several new designs—from the white accents on the home kit to the nostalgic pinstripe cup kit and the announced special jersey—Borussia Dortmund is clearly heading into an unusually diverse year in terms of fashion. However, it should be noted that these are leaks and the new designs have not yet been officially confirmed by the club.
