The German label Puma first joined forces with German football club BVB in 2012 during the 2012-2013 Bundesliga season. Ever since the football club has continued to wear the German label's sponsored kits.
Dortmund, which was once known as the city of steel has been symbolized for its resilience and enduring strength. Dortmund FC has won the German Cup, and German Supercup and has reached the Champion Leagues finale, increasing their fan base globally.
Their latest 2023-24 kit pays homage to this legacy while still looking forward to the future. In an official press release Macro Mueller, the Senior Head of Product Line Management at Teamsport Apparel at Puma comments,
"Every year, we eagerly anticipate crafting a Cup kit for the BVB team, and this year is no exception. The concept of a Cup kit is unique, just like the design of this year's kit. We're proud to have collaborated with BVB on a kit that draws inspiration from the Club's beloved home city, with the famous Black and Yellow colors and can't wait to witness it on pitch.”
The feelings were reciprocated by Carsten Cramer, Borussia Dortmund Managing Director, as he commented,
"We're especially glad for the opportunity to reveal and launch our new Cup kit during our pre-season US tour. To us this is a sign of appreciation towards our international fan base, and we hope they enjoy this new fantastic kit as much as our players do.”
The new kit features multiple retro-futuristic designs, including the feature of all-over print in black and yellow hues, which represent the spirits of Borussen's next generation. The authentic home jerseys retail for $140, while the replica jersey retails for $95.
