Borussia Dortmund install some style of steel for the new season as PUMA launch their 2019/20 away shirt under the "Men of Steel" slogan. The design is inspired by steel, which has characterized the city of Dortmund for over a hundred years since the mid-19th century.
That's the history bit out of the way now, which is always a nice touch but ultimately an excuse to mix up aesthetic and create a stunning football shirt, and that's what we've got here. By way of an homage to steel, the shirt is dominated by shades of black, grey and silver. The broad vertical stripes have been kept black, with a black and grey graphic now visible between them. The logos of PUMA and Evonik and the two formstrips on the shoulders have been kept in striking silver, while the sole dash of yellow comes from the club emblem on the chest.
One additional special detail is the print that reads “Forever Borussia Dortmund” in German at the neck. Borussia Dortmund often use the stealth-like tactic of black on their away and alternative jerseys, but this season comes will be wearing a design with a bit of a twist when they hit the road, rail and air throughout the 19/20 campaign. Expect to get a first look at the new away shirt when Dortmund kick off their tour of the United States later this month.
