Borussia Dortmund release new shirt to celebrate 100 Years of Rote Erde stadium | OneFootball

Borussia Dortmund have released a special jersey to mark the 100th anniversary of Rote Erde stadium, which will be worn for their Bundesliga game against Hamburg on March 21.

BVB women’s team will also wear the kit for their game against Recklinghausen, while BVB legends will also wear it for their game against Benfica.

As described on bvb.de: “The jersey incorporates key design elements from the stadium that have been preserved to this day and continue to shape the unique atmosphere of this historic venue. The pattern on the front is inspired by the stadium’s two entrance gates, especially the distinctive marathon gate.

The sleeves, collar, and flocking reference the characteristic running track that surrounds the pitch and has been part of the sporting action for decades. The colour scheme and look of the BVB logo are inspired by the sandstone walls that have framed the stadium since its opening in 1926. The back of the jersey features the inscription “100 Jahre Stadion Rote Erde” (“100 Years of Rote Erde stadium”).”
