Dortmund

Borussia Dortmund wore their away kit in the Champions League against Bodø/Glimt, marking their first use of an alternative kit in the competition since facing APOEL Nicosia in the 2017-18 season.

Dortmund’s home and special Champions League kits are both yellow, meaning the club rarely need to switch colours. Villarreal face a similar situation, having worn their away kit against Dortmund twice in recent seasons.

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.

Borussia Dortmund have officially announced a multi-year partnership with Panasonic Heating & Cooling Solutions Europe. Brokered by sports marketing agency SPORTFIVE, the five-season agreement will run until 2031 and establishes Panasonic as an official partner of the Bundesliga side.

The collaboration centers around modernizing Borussia Dortmund's infrastructure and supporting the club's decarbonization targets. Under the agreement, Panasonic will equip various club facilities with energy-efficient heating, cooling, and heat pump systems through dedicated pilot projects, improving building efficiency across the club's properties.

Alongside the infrastructure upgrades, the agreement grants Panasonic visibility across BVB's commercial and matchday platforms. Both sides emphasized a shared commitment to long-term sustainability, combining technological innovation with environmental responsibility.

Borussia Dortmund full-back Julian Ryerson suffered an unusual kit malfunction during BVB's 1-0 Bundesliga victory against VfB Stuttgart. Midway through the second half, the Norwegian international engaged in a physical duel with Stuttgart winger Jamie Leweling. As Leweling fell to the turf, he grabbed hold of Ryerson's shorts, completely tearing the outer seam apart and leaving the fabric hanging loose.

Ryerson initially attempted to carry on playing by knotting the shredded material at his hip. After repeatedly signaling toward the bench that the damaged kit could not hold up, he eventually made his way to the sideline. Second-choice goalkeeper Alexander Meyer rushed over to hand him a fresh pair, resulting in a brief moment where Ryerson was left in his base-layer yellow undershorts before donning the replacement gear and re-entering the pitch.

The incident has brought Puma's kit durability back under scrutiny. The German brand constructs its authentic elite kits using lightweight Ultraweave performance fabric, prioritizing minimal weight and high breathability. However, the delicate material has repeatedly faced criticism among supporters after tearing in high-intensity tussles, with Ryerson's mishap marking another visible tear on the Bundesliga stage this 26-27 season.
