Few stadiums in football carry the weight of history like Rote Erde. As the iconic ground reaches its centenary, Borussia Dortmund have unveiled a special edition jersey that connects the past to the present. The shirt will be worn across the club – from the men’s first team against Hamburger SV on 21 March, to the women’s side taking on 1. FFC Recklinghausen the next day, and the legends squad facing Benfica Lisbon on 25 March.
A Stadium’s Legacy Woven into Fabric
The design draws directly from the physical fabric of Rote Erde itself. At first glance, it appears as a sleek black presentation. However, when light catches the material, a graphic pattern emerges – lifted from the stadium’s historic entrance gates, with a particular nod to the unmistakable marathon gate. This structural icon has welcomed fans for decades, embedding the matchday ritual into the shirt’s DNA.
Details That Tell a Story
The detailing continues throughout the jersey. The sleeves, collar and flocking channel the running track that famously encircles the pitch – a defining feature that has shaped the stadium’s atmosphere since day one. Even the badge has been reworked, with tones inspired by the sandstone walls that have framed Rote Erde since 1926.
As a final sign off, the message “100 Jahre Stadion Rote Erde” is stamped across the back.
A Proper Tribute to a Century of Home
Kerstin Zerbe, Managing Director of BVB Merchandising, said: “Rote Erde stadium is one of the most defining places for BVB – a piece of home that, over decades, has shown what Borussia Dortmund stands for. With the special jersey, we are capturing the architecture, atmosphere, and history of this stadium and translating them into a contemporary design that visibly connects BVB’s tradition and present.”
The tribute serves as a reminder that before the lights of Signal Iduna Park, there was Rote Erde.
