Dortmund To Change Puma 21-22 Cup Kit After Fan Protests
May 15, 2021, by Chris
A few days ago, the new Puma Borussia Dortmund 21-22 Cup kit was leaked. Fans protested heavily against it not featuring the club crest, and now there is information that the club has decided to change the jersey.
After the leak, BVB has publicly rowed back and announced via Twitter that the criticism had been received and that the "leaked" jersey does not correspond to the original.

BVB 21-22 Cup Kit To Feature "BVB 09" & Possibly Also Club Logo
According to information of BVB fan site schwatzgelb, the BVB logo is set to be on the jersey after all, if possible. "BVB 09" is to adorn the chest instead of "Dortmund" - assuming Puma's approval.
Due to the DFB's implementing regulations, BVB would have to apply for individual approval for this design to be allowed to use the jersey in the DFB Cup.
The website Schwatzgelb also says the jersey is based on a contractual agreement between Puma and BVB. This is said to have been agreed as part of the contract extension in 2019. Since then, Borussia has been collecting around 20 million euros more per year but one condition was the "supplier jersey".
BVB Ultras expressed their disapproval
BVB Ultras expressed their disapproval with banners opposite the office: "Cramer [Dortmund managing director]: The BVB logo is not a toy for your bonuses!" and "Anyone who does not honor the crest is not worth Borussia!".

Premier League Match Ball Spotted in German 9th Tier for Niklas Süle Debut
Former Bayern Munich, Borussia Dortmund, and Germany defender Niklas Süle recently made headlines by stepping onto the pitch for German amateur side SV Tiefenbach in the Kreisliga. Having stepped away from the professional game at the end of the 25-26 season, the 30-year-old made his debut for the local ninth-tier club in Baden-Württemberg alongside close friends. While Süle managed to score a headed goal in a 7-2 defeat against SG Kirchardt, we quickly spotted an unexpected detail: the match was played with the official Nike Premier League 24-25 Third ball.
Seeing a Premier League match ball in the lower divisions of German regional football is an unusual and amusing sight, as amateur clubs across the country usually rely on non-league or, also, Bundesliga balls.
The distinctive Nike Flight Premier League design inspired by the Total 90 design, complete with its signature aerodynamic groove pattern and Premier League graphics, stood out prominently on the district league pitch.
New Hull City Signing Brings Back Memories of Iconic Vennegoor of Hesselink Number 29 Kit Font Arc
Following Hull City's signing of French midfielder Lucas Gourna-Douath, kit enthusiasts and football fans quickly noticed a similarity to one of the most iconic shirt prints in Premier League history. Gourna-Douath was unveiled holding his new black and amber striped 26-27 home kit featuring his hyphenated surname curved in a deep horseshoe arc around the number 29.
The visual immediately drew viral comparisons to Dutch striker Jan Vennegoor of Hesselink, who famously wore the exact same squad number 29 for Hull City during the 2009-10 campaign. Vennegoor of Hesselink's 20-letter surname required an extreme rainbow arch on the back of his kit to fit around the Premier League typeface, creating an enduring aesthetic memory from the classic Barclays era.
The Hull City kit does not require a box at the back, unlike it might have been in the UEFA Champions League.
Djed Spence to Wear Number 99 at Inter Milan
Following his permanent transfer from Tottenham Hotspur to Inter Milan, English wing-back Djed Spence has officially chosen the number 99 shirt for the 26-27 campaign.

High squad numbers remain a classic hallmark of Serie A, and Spence's selection of number 99 sees him continue that tradition in Milan.
