Our Top 10 Nike Borussia Dortmund Kits

Aug 29, 2015

by Footy Headlines

Borussia Dortmund had been wearing Nike Kits for two periods in their club history, between 1990-2000 and 2004-2009. Borussia Dortmund switched to their own brand Goool.de between 2000-2005, while they wear Puma Kits since 2012.

The first era of Nike and Borussia Dortmund was characterized by bold 1990s football kit designs and BVB's most successful period in club history winning the Champions League, whereas the second era was characterized by more classy designs but no great successes.

Honorable Mention - BVB 1990-91 Away Kit

It's likely the worst-ever Nike Borussia Dortmund Kit. The first Nike Borussia Dortmund Away Shirt combines the striking color purple with electricity yellow applications and a bold graphic pattern on the front. The example is BVB's most awful kit ever, but it illustrates the general design of Borussia Dortmund's Jerseys during the first period wearing Nike Kits.

10 | BVB 2006-07 Home Kit

The BVB 06-07 Home Shirt introduced totally new yellow and white vertical stripes for Borussia Dortmund. And while many fans didn't like the all-new look, it's still the most remarkable Nike BVB Kit in history.

9 | BVB 2008-09 Away Kit

Borussia Dortmund's 08-09 Away Jersey introduce a classy Sash design for the German club. The simplistic Borussia Dortmund 08-09 Away Jersey is mainly black with a yellow Sash, which includes the logo of shirt sponsor Evonik.

8 | BVB 1997-98 Home Kit

While the design of the Borussia Dortmund 97-98 Home Shirt isn't the best ever, it's the iconic kit worn in the 1997 Champions League Final against Juventus when BVB won the Champions League for the first time.

7 | BVB 2007-08 Away Kit

Inspired by the colors of the Flag of Dortmund, the Borussia Dortmund 07-08 Away Shirt introduced the striking color red. We would love to see a red Puma Kit for Borussia Dortmund, but don't think that BVB will again wear the colors of their rivals Bayern Munich.

6 | BVB 1993-94 Home Kit

Inspired by the skyline of Dortmund, the Nike Borussia Dortmund 1993-1994 Home Jersey introduces an one-of-a-kind design featuring a bold all-over graphic print.

5 | BVB 2007-08 Home Kit

BVB's 07-08 Home Kit features a classic design with a large black horizontal stripe on the front and black sleeves. In general, it feature more black applications than recent BVB Shirts, but is still a classic.

4 | BVB 1999-2000 Home Kit

It's the last-ever kit of the first era of Nike and BVB ahead of Dortmund's switch to their own brand Goool.de. The BVB 1999-2000 Home Shirt features a less flashy yellow main color, combined with black details and unusual white applications.

3 | BVB 2005-2006 X-Mas Kit

The BVB 05-06 X-Mas Jersey features a classic design with tonal horizontal lines and a large collar - class.

2 | BVB 1996-97 Home Kit

It's definitely our favorite kit of BVB's first period with Nike. The Borussia Dortmund 1996-1997 Home Strip boasts the striking color electricity yellow with a subtle graphic print on the front, while black applications are running down the sleeves and the side of the kit.
