Dortmund to Return to Old Logo? Vote Shelved
- Vote Postponed: The vote at Borussia Dortmund's general assembly to decide on a potential return to a historic crest was postponed due to technical issues with the voting system.
- Member Proposal: A BVB member, Sam-Joel Renken, submitted a proposal to replace the current BVB crest with a modernised version of the design used between 1974–1976 and 1978–1993.
- Crest Details: The proposed new BVB logo is based on the original crest from 1972, but with the deeper yellow and text of the current crest and would be used on official club channels if approved.
Update: Borussia Dortmund’s 2025 general assembly set an unwanted record, running almost 14 hours before ending without a decision on the proposed badge change. The vote was meant to address a member request to return to a historic crest used in the 1940s and 1960s, but technical problems in the hybrid voting system prevented the motion from being presented.
When the agenda reached the badge topic shortly before 1 a.m., the applicant could not be connected to speak, and with members visibly exhausted, the decision was postponed entirely. The debate around the club’s identity will now likely continue at a later date, even though nothing is confirmed yet.
Original Story - 20 November 2025: Borussia Dortmund’s upcoming annual general meeting this Sunday could feature an unexpected debate. A club member has officially submitted a proposal to replace the current BVB crest with a modernised version of the design used between 1974–1976 and 1978–1993. The suggested logo features the thicker double-ring outline and slimmer lettering that many supporters still connect with earlier eras of the club’s history.
BVB Member Proposes Return to Classic 1974 Crest
If approved, the updated crest would be registered with the authorities, added to all official club channels and take effect once published in the club’s news. The proposal mirrors the style already seen on Dortmund’s 2025-26 cup kit, where a retro-inspired badge is in use this season.
The proposed new BVB logo is based on the original crest from 1972, but with the deeper yellow and text of the current crest.
"We are sending a clear message to the outside world: we have a great history and are proud of what we have achieved," Renken writes in his proposal. He refers to other traditional clubs such as Ajax, AS Roma and VfB Stuttgart, which have also returned to their historic crests.
Now it’s up to the voting members on 23 November to decide whether the classic look should make a full comeback.

Cerro Porteño 2026 Third Kit Released: 1990s Puma Remake
Puma has officially unveiled the new 2026 third kit for Paraguayan Primera División side Cerro Porteño. The release leans heavily into nostalgia, offering a direct modern recreation of one of the club's most beloved vintage shirts from the late 1990s.
The new Cerro Porteño 2026 third shirt is built on a white base, sharply contrasted by solid dark blue sleeves and vibrant red detailing on the classic polo collar and sleeve cuffs. The most prominent design element is the large, sublimated grey graphic covering the front and back of the torso, which faithfully replicates the stylized "CP" monogram watermark found on the original 1999 kit.
The 2026 third kit serves as a great tribute to the famous "Pinturas Renner" era.

Viktoria Köln 26-27 Third Kit Released
German 3. Liga side Viktoria Köln has officially unveiled its new third kit for the 2026-2027 season. Produced by Joma, the new release embraces a deeply nostalgic "Viktoria-Vintage" aesthetic to celebrate the club's roots. This launch also marks a significant off-pitch reunion, as the team will once again feature the logo of the ETL-Gruppe across the chest, welcoming back their long-time former main sponsor for the upcoming campaign.
The Joma Viktoria Köln 26-27 third shirt opts for a classic black and white color palette that leans heavily into retro football fashion. Both the Joma manufacturer logo and the Viktoria Köln club crest have been modified to perfectly match the monochrome aesthetic, blending seamlessly into the design. To complete the vintage look, the jersey is equipped with a traditional polo collar, purposely designed by the club to function equally well as a stylish lifestyle piece for fans to wear casually away from the pitch.
The new Viktoria Köln 2026-2027 third kit is currently available for pre-order via the club's official online store, with physical deliveries expected to begin in late June.
