BVB shirt leaked: confirmed design reveals special detail | OneFootball

Even before the official unveiling, the first images of BVB’s new away kit for the 2026/27 season have already surfaced. A confirmed leak shows a dark design with special details.

Borussia Dortmund has not yet officially unveiled its away kit for the 2026/27 season. Nevertheless, it now seems clear what the new jersey will look like. A design published online, first shared by the platform Footy Headlines, is said to match the final version, according to information from Ruhr Nachrichten.

According to the report, BVB is moving away from bold color experiments with its upcoming away kit and instead opting for a comparatively simple look. The jersey is mainly anthracite and black and appears very understated at first glance. Only on closer inspection does a special detail become visible: a large lightning pattern runs across the entire front and parts of the shirt, but remains deliberately subtle thanks to the tone-on-tone design.

With this pattern, Borussia Dortmund is bringing back a design element that was already used a few years ago. Most recently, lightning bolts appeared on the home kit for the 2020/21 season. While those zigzag shapes stood out much more clearly on the yellow fabric at the time, the club is opting for a far more subtle version this time.

New BVB kit: These details stand out immediately

Both the BVB crest and the Puma logo are in yellow and stand out clearly against the dark background. The Vodafone lettering also remains on the chest in white and red.

The new shirt also differs from many modern football jerseys in its details. Instead of a classic crew neck, it apparently features a button placket variant. This is complemented by light elements around the neck area that create additional contrast.

The new design is likely to spark discussion above all because the club is taking a clearly different approach than it did last season. The previous away kit in grey, white, and yellow had drawn mixed reactions from fans. With the newly leaked model, Borussia Dortmund seems to be leaning more toward elegance and restraint. An official presentation has not yet taken place. According to information from Ruhr Nachrichten, however, the kit is expected to go on sale in the summer.
