Borussia Dortmund unveils striking new away kit
Borussia Dortmund has unveiled a striking new away kit in the color Lila. »In leuchtendem Lila with neon yellow accents, the kit is designed for fans who are ready to break away from traditional color combinations«, wrote the Dortmund team during their marketing trip to Japan in a statement about the new jersey.
Why is the kit so unusual?
The unusual design of the kit has sparked a lively discussion among fans on social media. The opinions were very mixed, ranging from »very cool« to »worst kit I've ever seen«. One fan asked what it had to do with the team's colors, black and yellow, while another wondered if the kit would also be suitable as a warning vest in a car. Others praised the energy of the bright colors.
How will the kit be used?
The away kit will be used in away games, when the away kit is too similar to that of the home team. The home kit of the Dortmund team, which has already been presented, is yellow.
What comes next?
The official account of the second-division team VfL Osnabrück took a joke: »Cool color«, wrote the Lila-Weiß from Osnabrück under a post on Instagram. The neon yellow details on the collar and sleeves of the kit of the manufacturer Puma should, according to BVB, remind the traditional yellow team color. The logo of the traditional team remains on the new dress in classic yellow.
