Borussia Dortmund and PUMA have officially unveiled the club’s new away kit for the 2025–26 season — a bold statement that carries the energy of the Yellow Wall far beyond the SIGNAL IDUNA PARK. Featuring a fresh “Silver Mist” base accented by “Yellow Alert” and black details, the design marks a striking break from tradition. For the first time in 18 years, Dortmund’s away shirt is not black, signaling both a visual and symbolic evolution for the Bundesliga giants.
Design and Technical Features
The 2025–26 Borussia Dortmund away kit stands out through its dynamic and high-contrast aesthetic. The clean silver-white base, referred to by PUMA as “Silver Mist,” is complemented by bold black sleeves and vivid yellow accents that reflect the club’s unmistakable identity. The graphic pattern incorporates shard-like shapes with a gradient effect, lending the shirt a sense of motion and intensity that mirrors Dortmund’s high-tempo style on the pitch.
In technical terms, the kit is available in two distinct versions: Authentic and Replica. The Authentic edition is crafted using PUMA’s ULTRAWEAVE fabric — an ultra-light, four-way stretch material designed to reduce weight and friction, ensuring maximum comfort and performance for professional players. Both editions integrate dryCELL technology, a moisture-wicking system that keeps the body cool and dry throughout the game.
PUMA’s RE:FIBRE initiative takes center stage in the Replica version, transforming textile waste and recycled polyester into new, high-quality materials. Comprising at least 95% recycled content, the RE:FIBRE process embodies a sustainable approach to football apparel production without compromising on comfort or durability.
History and Inspiration
This season’s away kit pays homage to Dortmund’s fearless spirit and their ability to bring the energy of their supporters wherever they play. PUMA’s design concept — “The Loudest Colors in Football” — encapsulates how BVB’s identity transcends home boundaries. Even away from the roaring stands of the Yellow Wall, the club’s colors resonate with passion and intensity.
The choice of a white-based shirt is particularly significant. Dortmund last wore a non-black away kit in the 2007–08 season, when the team sported a burgundy design. Eighteen years later, the 2025–26 edition reimagines that departure from black through a modern lens — clean, bright, and unapologetically bold. As Marco Müller, PUMA’s Senior Director of Product Line Management, noted, the kit was designed to capture “how Borussia Dortmund brings its identity and support with them wherever they go.”
Usage and Debut
The 2025–26 Borussia Dortmund away kit made its official debut on September 12, coinciding with its global retail release at PUMA stores, BVB’s official shop, and selected retailers worldwide. Priced at €150, the kit is available in both Authentic and Replica versions, catering to players and fans alike.
The shirt is expected to make its on-pitch debut in Dortmund’s Bundesliga away fixture against Heidenheim, introducing the club’s new look to fans across Germany and beyond. With its luminous contrast and futuristic design, the kit ensures that Dortmund’s presence will be seen — and felt — in every stadium they visit this season.
