Borussia Dortmund have unveiled their away kits for the 2026-27 season and fans were left impressed.
Just days on from launching their purple-themed third kits, which rather drew mixed reactions, this one has been well received.
The BVB and their kit supplier PUMA have launched an all-black kit for Dortmund's away games under the motto "Wherever we go", implying the shirt would be donned in games played away from Signal Iduna Park.
Bold and sleek, the design features a bright yellow accent on the club crest with the PUMA logo, also in yellow while the sponsor Vodafone's log features prominently on the front.
Fans took to X and shared their thoughts on the kit:
One verified X user wrote approvingly:
""BVB away kit looking smooth and clean.
Fans can't wait for the debut of the kit next season.""

Another fan vehemently feels it could be well received by all BVB fans:
""🖤 Dortmund’s new away threads are looking seriously clean! 👀🔥 Black, bold and unmistakably BVB. This one might be a fan favourite. 🟡⚫️""
