Bochum 16-17 Kits Released
Bundesliga 2 team VfL Bochum today unveiled its new home, away and third kits for the upcoming 2016-17 season. Once again produced by Nike and taken from the brand's teamwear offering, this year's Bochum jerseys are in fact all based on the same 'Striker IV' template.
Bochum 16-17 Home Kit
This is the new Nike VfL Bochum home jersey for the 2016-2017 Bundesliga 2 season.
As detailed above, the new Bochum 2016-17 kit is based on Nike's Striker IV teamwear shirt, in the blue and white variant. Thus, it sees a bright blue base accompanied by white accents in the form of the v-collar, the sleeve cuffs and a broad stripe on the sleeves and upper back. Blue Shorts and white socks complete a look for the Bochum 16-17 home uniform that draws inspiration from Nike's Euro 2016 kits.
Perhaps the most interesting feature of the new Bochum jersey is the font used for the player numbers as the club has chosen a very classic 3D design that oozes tradition.
Bochum 2016-17 Away Kit
This is the new Bochum 16-17 away shirt.
The Bochum 2016-17 away shirt is red with white details and is once again combined with shorts of the same color and white socks.
Bochum 16-17 Third Kit
This is the new Nike Bochum third jersey.
The Bochum third jersey reverts the color scheme of the home shirt. It is white and features a blue collar, blue sleeve cuffs and a blue stripe on the upper back and sleeves. Instead of the Booster sponsor logo seen on the home kit, the Bochum 2016-2017 third kit boasts the yellow-and-red Netto logo.
What are your thoughts on the new Bochum 16-17 home, away and third kits.
Special Netherlands x Lego Pennant
In the recent friendly match between the Netherlands and Algeria, the Dutch players appeared with a special pennant made from assembled LEGO pieces, replacing the traditional match pennant.
This was part of a collaboration between the KNVB (Dutch Football Association) and LEGO in preparation for the 2026 World Cup. The partnership, announced earlier in 2026 and running through at least EURO 2028, focuses on encouraging play, creativity and movement among children and football fans through shared initiatives.
As part of the campaign leading into the FIFA World Cup 2026, one million free orange LEGO bricks are being distributed across the Netherlands on June 3 at LEGO stores, Intertoys and Dreamland locations. Fans are invited to build items supporting the Oranje team and share their creations, with the activation tied to the #NEDALG event.
