Borussia Dortmund's official English-language channel (@BlackYellow) has shared a comprehensive visual timeline chronicling nearly four decades of the club's primary shirts. Spanning from the 88-89 campaign up to the current 26-27 season, the graphic provides a neat year-by-year retrospective of how the iconic black and yellow identity has transformed in modern football.
The retrospective captures several distinct manufacturer eras. It opens with classic late-1980s Adidas designs before stepping into the bold, neon-infused Nike era of the 1990s—which produced memorable kits including the 1996-97 Champions League triumph. Also documented are the club's unique in-house Goool.de apparel in the early 2000s, a brief stint with Kappa from 09-10 to 11-12, and the enduring partnership with Puma that commenced in 12-13 and remains active today.
Alongside the varying templates, the timeline charts notable shirt sponsors over the eras, transitioning from Continentale and s.Oliver to E.ON, Evonik, and Vodafone. The visual concludes with the clean 26-27 home jersey, which blends a vibrant yellow base with subtle tonal patterns paying homage to Dortmund's industrial and architectural heritage.
