New BVB special kit out now: worn by women's team and legends | OneFootball

The new special jersey of BVB was announced a few days ago. Starting today, it is available for fans to purchase. Additionally, the club informs that not only the first men's team will wear this special jersey in the next home game against HSV.

The design of the new special jersey honors the anniversary of the stadium where Borussia Dortmund played its home games in the Bundesliga and European Cup until the Westfalenstadion was built. The Stadion Rote Erde, located right next to Signal Iduna Park, is turning 100 years old. It is not only a historical site for Borussia but is still actively used. Besides the women's team, the second team also plays its home games in the 3rd league in this venue.

For this special match, at least, the BVB legends team will also play at Stadion Rote Erde. In the reenactment of the "Century Match," the 5-0 victory against Benfica Lisbon in 1963 in the European Cup, the now century-old stadium will be used, and this match will take place at the same location as back then.

The BVB legends including Jan Koller, Kevin Großkreutz, and Nelson Valdez, like the current professionals, will also wear this special jersey against Hamburger SV. The women's team, currently active in the third-tier Regionalliga West, will use the special jersey in its next home game when 1. FFC Recklinghausen visits next Sunday. The same applies to the U23, which will play against league leaders Fortuna Köln at Stadion Rote Erde on April 4th.

Customization with Names of BVB Legends Possible

The design of the special jersey incorporates the distinctive elements of Rote Erde, which are particularly characteristic. These include the characteristic running track and the walls enclosing the spectator area. The color scheme of the BVB emblem on this special jersey is inspired by these sandstone-colored walls. Additionally, the back of the jersey features the inscription "100 Years Stadion Rote Erde."

When ordering the special jersey, it comes in a stylish box plus an as-yet-unknown goodie. The BVB special jersey is available in both long-sleeve and short-sleeve versions, priced at 110 euros. The special jersey for 100 years of Rote Erde is complemented by a special collection of other fan items. Moreover, Borussia Dortmund offers the possibility to have not only the names of current BVB professionals printed on the jerseys but also those of numerous legends of the Black and Yellows.
