Truly Classic: The new BVB home jersey 2024/25

Borussia Dortmund will wear the new home jersey for the coming season in the final match of the Bundesliga season against Darmstadt 98.

The classic and timeless jersey design reflects the culture of the club, which has been shaped by generations of players and fans. The kit stays true to Dortmund’s roots while embracing the future. The lettering “Borussia united” can be seen on the back of the neck. The timeless pinstripe look combines tradition with the present and a look to the future.

The special characteristic of the home jersey is the material from which it is made.

With the innovative RE:FIBRE technology from PUMA, polyester that is no longer needed is turned into new fabric. Old turns into new - again and again!

From the start of the 2024/25 season our jerseys are made using the RE:FIBRE initiative.

The new BVB home jersey 2024/25 is now available in the online store.

BVB coach Niko Kovac was without Emre Can, Nico Schlotterbeck, and Mussa Kaba (all in rehab). Gregor Kobel and Julian Ryerson had returned from their World Cup break just a few days earlier and did not make the trip to London, nor did Waldemar Anton (training management) and Diant Ramaj (individual training). New to the squad: Konstantinos Karetsas, who made his debut for BVB just a few days after signing with the club. \n<\/p>\nArsenal dominated the action from the opening whistle and could have scored early. Following a corner, Alex Meyer managed to deflect the ball over the crossbar at the last moment (2nd minute). The first goal, however, came from the other end: A lightning-fast combination involving Fabio Silva and Felix Nmecha sent Samuele Inacio deep, and he slotted the ball into the far corner with a single touch \u2013 1\u20130 from Dortmund\u2019s perspective (7th minute). A fine goal. <\/p>\nFor Arsenal, Viktor Gyökeres was then in the spotlight several times: first with a free kick from 17 meters that he sent over the wall and the goal. Meyer also intercepted a cross from Kai Havertz intended for the Swede. More dangerous was Gyökeres\u2019s swiveling shot in the 26th minute. In between, Maxi Beier (21st minute) and Daniel Svensson (23rd minute) each missed the Arsenal goal with headers.  <\/p>\nBVB was still able to extend their lead after half an hour: Arsenal gave Karetsas too much space, and the new signing punished them ruthlessly. With great finesse, he curled the ball into the corner from the edge of the box with his powerful left foot to make it 2\u20130 \u2013 a dream goal for a perfect debut!<\/p>\nArsenal pushed for a goal before halftime, but Gabriel and Havertz both headed wide (39th, 43rd). The teams headed into the locker room with a well-deserved 2-0 lead for the Black and Yellows.<\/p>\n<img data-assetref=\"Karetsas-Arsenal-1786284676250\" src=\"/content/dam/bvbweb/en/news/2026/08/09/spielbericht-arsenal/Karetsas-Arsenal.jpg\"><\/p>\nNmecha opened the second half with a shot that skimmed just over the crossbar. Arsenal responded through Ben White, whose attempt was deflected into the side netting. Ethan Nwaneri did better in the 54th minute: A cross from a central position found the Englishman, who slotted it home to make it 1\u20132. <\/p>\nJust four minutes later, BVB responded: After a corner, Silva flicked the ball on, and Gadou elegantly met it in the air and powered it into the net for a 3\u20131 lead (58th minute).<\/p>\nBut the hosts pressed for another goal, forcing Dortmund goalkeeper Meyer into several saves: He dove just in time to stop Myles Lewis-Skelly (61st), and made a follow-up save against Max Dowman (63rd). He was powerless to stop the penalty kick in the 69th minute. Gyökeres shot into the right corner, while Meyer was diving the other way. The 2\u20133 goal was also the final score. In the closing stages, neither Arsenal nor BVB\u2014partly due to numerous substitutions \u2013 managed to create any compelling chances. <\/p>\n<img data-assetref=\"Nmecha-Arsenal-1786284685603\" src=\"/content/dam/bvbweb/en/news/2026/08/09/spielbericht-arsenal/Nmecha-Arsenal.jpg\"><\/p>\nAt the request of Arsenal coach Mikel Arteta, both teams took part in a penalty shootout after the final whistle, which the English team won.<\/p>\nThis coming Saturday, Borussia Dortmund\u2019s first team will face AS Roma as part of the season opener and make their first appearance of the season at SIGNAL IDUNA PARK.

BVB coach Niko Kovac was without Emre Can, Nico Schlotterbeck, and Mussa Kaba (all in rehab). Gregor Kobel and Julian Ryerson had returned from their World Cup break just a few days earlier and did not make the trip to London, nor did Waldemar Anton (training management) and Diant Ramaj (individual training). New to the squad: Konstantinos Karetsas, who made his debut for BVB just a few days after signing with the club. \n<\/p>\nArsenal dominated the action from the opening whistle and could have scored early. Following a corner, Alex Meyer managed to deflect the ball over the crossbar at the last moment (2nd minute). The first goal, however, came from the other end: A lightning-fast combination involving Fabio Silva and Felix Nmecha sent Samuele Inacio deep, and he slotted the ball into the far corner with a single touch \u2013 1\u20130 from Dortmund\u2019s perspective (7th minute). A fine goal. <\/p>\nFor Arsenal, Viktor Gyökeres was then in the spotlight several times: first with a free kick from 17 meters that he sent over the wall and the goal. Meyer also intercepted a cross from Kai Havertz intended for the Swede. More dangerous was Gyökeres\u2019s swiveling shot in the 26th minute. In between, Maxi Beier (21st minute) and Daniel Svensson (23rd minute) each missed the Arsenal goal with headers.  <\/p>\nBVB was still able to extend their lead after half an hour: Arsenal gave Karetsas too much space, and the new signing punished them ruthlessly. With great finesse, he curled the ball into the corner from the edge of the box with his powerful left foot to make it 2\u20130 \u2013 a dream goal for a perfect debut!<\/p>\nArsenal pushed for a goal before halftime, but Gabriel and Havertz both headed wide (39th, 43rd). The teams headed into the locker room with a well-deserved 2-0 lead for the Black and Yellows.<\/p>\n<img data-assetref=\"Karetsas-Arsenal-1786284676250\" src=\"/content/dam/bvbweb/en/news/2026/08/09/spielbericht-arsenal/Karetsas-Arsenal.jpg\"><\/p>\nNmecha opened the second half with a shot that skimmed just over the crossbar. Arsenal responded through Ben White, whose attempt was deflected into the side netting. Ethan Nwaneri did better in the 54th minute: A cross from a central position found the Englishman, who slotted it home to make it 1\u20132. <\/p>\nJust four minutes later, BVB responded: After a corner, Silva flicked the ball on, and Gadou elegantly met it in the air and powered it into the net for a 3\u20131 lead (58th minute).<\/p>\nBut the hosts pressed for another goal, forcing Dortmund goalkeeper Meyer into several saves: He dove just in time to stop Myles Lewis-Skelly (61st), and made a follow-up save against Max Dowman (63rd). He was powerless to stop the penalty kick in the 69th minute. Gyökeres shot into the right corner, while Meyer was diving the other way. The 2\u20133 goal was also the final score.
