Update: Dortmund's recent photoshoot for the FIFA Club World Cup has confirmed that the Vodafone logo will appear in red on the 2025-26 third kit (carried over from the 2024-25 season).
Footy Headlines can leak that Dortmund have decided to carry over their 2024-25 third kit to become their 2025-26 third kit, with a change in the front-of-shirt sponsor. The Vodafone logo, however, will break up the look, due to its red color (Vodafone's logo will only be friendly recolored on the yellow kits).
Dortmund Announces Vodafone Main Kit Sponsor Deal
Dortmund 25-26 Third Kit
The new Puma Dortmund 25-26 third football shirt is carried over from last season. It will, of course, retain the same design, but the sponsor logo will change - Vodafone's logo will appear in black, replacing the 1&1 Ionos sponsor.
Carrying over the third kit is a strategy Borussia Dortmund have used in the past. They previously carried over their 2020-21 third kit to become their 2021-22 third kit.
