Borussia Dortmund Third Kits

Primarily for cup matches, Borussia Dortmund's third shirt took note of the title-winning 1989/90 Finals shirt for its design. The retro inspiration centred on the black-white-black stripes that angled from the shoulders and toward the front side. While the 2022/23 cup kit retained the asymmetrical length of the featured design, it changed the composition, using smaller diagonals for a dynamic effect rather than the solid fills of the original. Another change was that the right side stripes were generally longer than the left, plus their narrowing width as they got closer to the black round collar. Like other recent Cup jerseys, the base colour was Cyber Yellow.

Borussia Dortmund carries over their third kit of the previous year towards the 2021/22 season and uses the shirt for domestic and international away cup matches. The predominantly white jersey has a buttoned yellow henley collar and draws attention to the yellow and grey cubic graphic prints spreading all over the shirt. The cubic structure supporting the eponymous 'U' of the Dortmund U-Tower is the main inspiration of the design element.

Despite not regularly wearing them, Borussia Dortmund has nevertheless announced the team's third kit for the 2020-2021 season. The predominantly white shirt is produced by Puma's 'Crafted from Culture' concept. The culturally inspired design, in this case, is the cubic graphic print that spreads all over the shirt and has shades of yellow and grey. Specifically, the pattern is inspired by the Dortmund U-tower and in particular, the cubic structure supporting the eponymous 'U.'

Dortmun's crest is in full colours and the Puma Cats appear in black. White shorts and socks complete the 2020-2021 third kit.
