Dortmund to Return to Old Logo? Vote Shelved
Nov 24, 2025, by Chris
- 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.
4.) MOTION TO CHANGE THE CLUB CREST OF BALLSPIELVEREIN BORUSSIA 09 E.V. DORTMUND TO THE 1974 CREST1. Motion submitted by member Sam-Joel Renken:

Queen of the South 26-27 Third Kit Released - Designed by Local School Pupil
Scottish League One club Queen of the South has officially launched its new 26-27 third kit, manufactured by Macron. What makes the release particularly unique is that it was designed by Rex, a pupil from Dalbeattie Primary School, who won a club competition that saw an impressive 1,883 entries submitted from 27 local primary schools.
The Macron Queen of the South 2026-27 third jersey introduces an eye-catching look based on bold diagonal stripes alternating between pink, black, and purple. The sleeves are dominated by bright pink with black cuffs, matched by a clean black V-neck collar. White detailing finishes the shirt, including the Macron Hero emblem, local sponsor Gavin Edgar Joinery on the chest, and a recolored monochrome club crest.
Completing the Queen of the South 26-27 third strip are black shorts and socks. The full kit is available now through the club's official online store and physical club shop.
Kifisia FC 26-27 Home & Away Kits Released
Greek Super League club Kifisia FC and German kit maker Erima have officially revealed the team's new home and away kits for the 26-27 campaign. Both designs introduce the branding of new front-of-shirt sponsor Tutu Deals.
The Erima Kifisia 26-27 home jersey features a timeless navy blue base covered with subtle white vertical pinstripes extending across the front and sleeves. A sharp white V-neck collar matches the clean white Erima chest branding, while the club's signature plane tree leaf crest sits proudly on the left breast.
The 26-27 away kit opts for a clean white base adorned with an intricate, tonal root-inspired graphic pattern across the body. Navy and gold trim decorates both the polo collar and the sleeve cuffs, with elegant gold detailing applied to the club crest and manufacturer logo to round off the look.
AC Bellinzona 26-27 Home & Away Kits Released
Italian brand Acerbis and Swiss side AC Bellinzona have officially unveiled the club's new home and away kits for the 26-27 season. The Ticino outfit, competing in the Swiss Promotion League, receive a coordinated pair of shirts defined by a bold cross design across the front.
The AC Bellinzona 26-27 home shirt arrives in the club's signature deep granata, highlighted by a prominent white cross spanning across the entire front of the jersey. Reversing the colorway, the 26-27 away jersey uses a clean white base complemented by the same large cross graphic in dark red.
Both jerseys feature a symmetrical, centered layout. The Acerbis wordmark and Bellinzona's diamond-shaped badge sit vertically above each other on the upper chest, while the sponsor emblem is aligned right in the center of the cross.
Ederson Continues Cutting Sleeves at Fenerbahçe
Heading into his second season in the Süper Lig, the 33-year-old goalkeeper was once again spotted taking the pitch in a cut-sleeve jersey. Simply because Fenerbahçe does not offer a short-sleeve kit option from Adidas.
At his previous clubs like Rio Ave, Benfica, and Manchester City, Ederson always had short-sleeve versions to him. His time at Fenerbahçe marks one of the rare instances in his professional career where Ederson has worn long sleeves on the pitch.
Special thanks to What The Kit for the spot and the collage.
Bordeaux 26-27 Away Kit Released
Following the launch of their home strip, Girondins de Bordeaux and Hummel have officially unveiled the club's new away kit for the 26-27 season. Amidst severe off-pitch turmoil and administrative relegation to the amateur leagues, the French club has looked to the most celebrated period in its history for design inspiration, presenting a shirt that pays tribute to the famous 1986-87 double-winning side.
The Hummel Bordeaux 26-27 away jersey is predominantly white, framed by dark navy panels across the shoulders and sleeves that house the Danish brand's signature chevrons. A classic white polo collar features discreet red trim along the edges, which is echoed on the sleeve cuffs. Completing the retro aesthetic, the left chest bears the club's circular 1980s crest rather than the modern badge, delivering an unmistakable nod to the golden era.
Presented without a main shirt sponsor, the clean retro shirt maintains a bespoke feel despite the team competing outside the professional ranks in Régional 1. Hummel continues to stand by the club under its multi-year partnership, with the kit priced at €89.95.
