The Black and Yellows won four times, and the Green and Whites won four times. Notably, the most recent three matchups in 2008, 2018, and 2019 all went to Bremen. In each of those instances, the two teams faced off in the round of 16. The biggest DFB Pokal match between Dortmund and Bremen took place on June 24, 1989, when BVB defeated Werder 4\u20131 in the final in Berlin, bringing the title back to Dortmund.<\/p>\n<h2><b>Jerseys: BVB in Yellow<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>Borussia Dortmund will take the field in their yellow home jerseys with black shorts and yellow socks (<a href=\"https://shop.bvb.de/en-de/jerseys-kits/home?utm_source=bvben&amp;utm_medium=news&amp;utm_campaign=int_heimtrikot2627&amp;bvb_cid=int_heimtrikot2627\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">visit the online store<\/a>).
