Borussia Dortmund release shirt to mark 100th year of stadium

To mark the 100th anniversary of Rote Erde stadium, Borussia Dortmund is unveiling an exclusive special jersey, which will be worn by the BVB first team in their home match against Hamburger SV (21.3.). The BVB women’s team will also wear the jersey in their clash with 1. FFC Recklinghausen (22.3.), as will the BVB legends in their game against Benfica Lisbon (25.3.).

The sleeves, collar, and flocking reference the characteristic running track that surrounds the pitch and has been part of the sporting action for decades. The colour scheme and look of the BVB logo are inspired by the sandstone walls that have framed the stadium since its opening in 1926. The back of the jersey features the inscription “100 Jahre Stadion Rote Erde” (“100 Years of Rote Erde stadium”).

“Rote Erde stadium is one of the most defining places for BVB – a piece of home that, over decades, has shown what Borussia Dortmund stands for. With the special jersey, we are capturing the architecture, atmosphere, and history of this stadium and translating them into a contemporary design that visibly connects BVB’s tradition and present,” says Kerstin Zerbe, Managing Director of BVB Merchandising GmbH.

The jersey will be available from Thursday, March 19, at 10:00 both in the online shop and in BVB fan shops, and comes in a special box including a small extra. In addition to the classic version, a long-sleeve option will also be available. The price is € 110. Fans can choose from current player names as well as legends for the flocking. There will also be a fan merchandise collection themed around the special jersey. More information can be found here: https://sondertrikot.bvb.de/.
