BVB From Next Season - Here Is Why & Which Bundesliga Teams Have The Team Name On The Top

Some days ago, we reported that German Bundesliga club Borussia Dortmund is set to change the positioning of the player and team name on the kits from the 2019-2020 season (team name from bottom to top, player name to bottom). Dortmund is by far not the only Bundesliga team whose kits will feature the team name on the top - we give an overview of which teams have the same style.

Which Bundesliga Teams Have Team Name Printed On Top & Bottom

The reason for most Bundesliga teams to have the team name printed on the top is symbolic - the 'team stands above the player (or the players are changing, the clubs stays)'.

Bayern Munich was the initiator of having the team name above the numbers - their long-term president Uli Hoeneß was one of the first to say that the team should always stand above the player. Their kits featured the names on the bottom since the custom kits were introduced in the Bundesliga in the 1995-96 season.

In total, 13 Bundesliga have the team name on the top, while only 5 have them on the bottom (Bremen, Gladbach, Hoffenheim, Mainz, Nürnberg). Below is an overview of all 18 current Bundesliga teams.

Top or Bottom? Bundesliga Teams Team Name Positioning

Bayern Munich (X): Top

Borussia Dortmund (X): Top (From 2019-20)

RB Leipzig: Top

Eintracht Frankfurt: Top

Borussia Mönchengladbach: Bottom

VfL Wolfsburg: Top

1899 Hoffenheim: Bottom

Werder Bremen: Bottom

Bayer Leverkusen: Top

Fortuna Düsseldorf: Top

Hertha BSC: Top

Mainz 05: Bottom

SC Freiburg: Top

Schalke 04: Top

FC Augsburg: Top

VfB Stuttgart: Top

1. FC Nürnberg: Bottom

Hannover 96: Top

In most other leagues, teams only have the player name on their kits. In international competitions, it is only allowed to have the player name on the top (Bayern's kits feature no team name in the Champions League, for example).

Do you know other teams who have the club name printed on the top? What do you think of Bundesliga teams having the team names on the top of the back of the kit? Let us know in the comments below.

Sunderland 26-27 Home Kit Released - Celebrating 1937 FA Cup Triumph

Sunderland AFC and Hummel have officially unveiled the club's new home kit for the 26-27 season. Drawing heavy inspiration from the club's legendary 1936-37 FA Cup-winning side, the kit blends traditional Sunderland heritage with vintage design flourishes to honor one of the defining moments in the club's history.

The 26-27 home jersey features Sunderland's iconic red and white vertical stripes, complimented by a classic white polo collar and a neat buttoned placket. Within the white stripes, Hummel has integrated a subtle tonal jacquard pattern inspired by the ornate filigree engravings on the FA Cup trophy.

Key heritage details appear throughout the shirt. On the chest, the modern Sunderland crest is housed within an era-inspired shield surround. The outer back of the neck features a special red emblem showcasing the city crest worn in 1937 alongside a 1936-37 inscription, while the inside collar lists the names of the starting eleven players from that historic Wembley victory.

The new home shirt is launched without a main front-of-shirt sponsor, offering a ultra-clean aesthetic for supporters. The full kit is available online and in physical store locations starting July 29.
