BVB unveil new home kit: this date is key | OneFootball

Borussia Dortmund will present its new home kit for the 2026/27 season at the beginning of May. BVB fans can look forward not only to a first look, but also to a possible sales launch around the last home game.

Borussia Dortmund fans can mark a date in their calendars: on May 7, the Bundesliga club will officially unveil its new home kit for the 2026/27 season. Together with supplier Puma, a special release event is planned where the jersey will be presented for the first time.

Particularly curious supporters will even have the chance to see the shirt up close before the wider public. As part of a giveaway, the club is raffling exclusive spots for the presentation. Winners may each bring one guest and attend the event live on May 7.

It is still unclear, however, whether the shirt will go on sale directly that same day. In recent years, though, it has often been the case that the new shirts were available around the last home game of the season. It is therefore considered likely that fans will be able to buy the kit before or on the day of the match against Eintracht Frankfurt on May 8. What the new design looks like is no longer much of a secret. Initial images already surfaced at the end of 2025, showing a predominantly yellow shirt with subtle black accents. As a result, it strongly resembles the current cup jersey.

BVB stars likely to wear new home kit in final home game

The look is apparently completed by white details on the collar and sleeves. In addition, fine patterns in the fabric are said to evoke industrial structures — a tribute to the Dortmund region. Stylistically, the shirt therefore draws on both earlier decades and popular special-edition jerseys from the more recent past.

The new outfit is also likely to be seen on the pitch soon: it is customary for the first team to wear the upcoming home kit in the final home game of the current season. In addition to the home kit, there are also early indications about next season’s away kit. According to the usually well-informed kit portal Footy Headlines, it is expected to come in a striking shade of lilac — an unusual color choice that at Borussia Dortmund has so far been reserved mainly for the goalkeepers.

One thing is certain: May 7 is likely to be an important day for the Black and Yellows’ supporters — both for a first glimpse of the new kit and as the possible starting signal for the sale of another potential bestseller.
