THE BEATING HEART OF DORTMUND: PUMA AND BORUSSIA DORTMUND UNVEIL FAN-DESIGNED AWAY KITFOR THE 2023/24 SEASON

In a celebration of 'Echte Liebe,' meaning 'true love’, PUMA and Borussia Dortmund (BVB) have come together to launch a fan-designed Away kit for the 2023/24 season.

With over 15,000 design submissions flooding in for this season's Home kit, PUMA and BVB have taken the decision to once again honor the fans' creativity and passion by featuring a fan-designed kit for the Away kit

The all-over grey print pattern on the black jersey encapsulates an aerial view of the historic Borsigplatz square, where BVB was founded in 1909. It's a design that not only pays homage to the birthplace of the club but also embodies the heartbeat of Dortmund's footballing heritage.

The final touches to the jersey are a classic black round collar with yellow sleeve cuffs and trims to honor the black and yellow heritage.

Marco Mueller, PUMA Senior Head of Product Line Management Teamsport Apparel, expressed his excitement, stating, "We were overwhelmed with the number of submissions from fans that we just had to bring this initiative back for the Away kit. The design selected is a profound tribute to Borsigplatz and serves as a constant reminder of Dortmund’s rich footballing legacy.”

“We received so many fantastic kit designs from our fans. One in particular really stood out and got the jury excited. We felt this black design was a natural pick to inspire our Away jersey and we are very happy with the final result,” Carsten Cramer, Borussia Dortmund Managing Director explained.

The new Authentic jersey features cutting-edge technology to provide optimal performance and comfort on the pitch. Engineered with ULTRAWEAVE fabric, the kit boasts a structured, 4-way stretch design that reduces weight and friction, allowing players to move freely and comfortably. The dryCELL technology integrated into the fabric is designed to keep your body free from sweat.

The Replica version is similarly equipped with dryCELL sweat-wicking technology to keep you dry and comfortable throughout the 90 minutes and beyond – no matter the time, pitch, or place. Both jerseys are made with 100% recycled materials, excluding the trims and decorations as a step toward a better future.

To celebrate the launch of the new Away kit, PUMA and BVB partnered with the local social project Nordstadtliga Dortmund to host a special street football tournament in the middle of the city close to Borsigplatz. The event culminated with the reveal of the Away kit in the final game of the tournament.

Nordstadtliga Dortmund is a special social project based in Nordstadt - one of the closest historically associated districts to BVB in Dortmund. Just two kilometers away from the birthplace of the black and yellow club, Borsigplatz is the venue of the street soccer league and is a special project that helps young people from all ethnic, religious, and cultural backgrounds integrate into sport. Since 2020, the Nordstadtliga has also been a flagship project of BVB’s ‘leuchte auf’ foundation.

Additionally, to the launch of the new BVB Away kit, custom Octane and Fennec decals based on the new BVB Away kit design, PUMA themed wheels and a PUMA player banner will be available in the popular sports action game Rocket League from August 24th through to September 5th .

Showcase the passion of BVB’s fans with the new 2023/24 BVB Away kit available from August 25th at PUMA stores, PUMA.com, the BVB store at SIGNAL IDUNA PARK, bvbonlineshop.com and at select retailers worldwide.

Global sports company PUMA has today launched the Energy Pack, inspired by the energy brought to the pitch by PUMA’s next generation hot-shots. The vibrant new pack features color updates to the ULTRA, FUTURE and KING.

The new upper takes PUMA’s signature speed to the next level with the application of PUMA’s PWRTAPE technology that draws from the anatomy of the human foot to provide optimal lightweight support in key areas of the foot for added stability and a locked in fit to perform quick cuts and explosive movements.

The ULTRA also features an explosive Dual-Density SPEEDPLATE for next-level traction. The result is a more dynamic plate and a more reactive toe box that provides added propulsion and energy transfer when going from 0 to fast.

Pushing the boundaries of what can be done on the pitch, the latest edition of the FUTURE features a FUZIONFIT360 dual mesh upper and integrates PUMA exclusive PWRTAPE technology to enhance support for a space-age adaptive fit, letting you play with or without laces.

Allowing athletes to unlock their creativity, the FUTURE features engineered 3D textures at key contact zones optimized to enhance ball grip and control during passing, dribbling, and finishing. The FUTURE also utilizes a Dual-Density Motion System outsole with a split composition designed for ultimate traction and stability.

Built to be the King of Control, the PUMA KING features a non-animal-based K-BETTER™ upper material - taking the signature KING touch, comfort, and durability to the next-level, whilst maximum maneuverability is achieved through a lightweight outsole with external heel counter and integrated stability spine.

To celebrate the launch of the Energy Pack PUMA spent the day with PSV Eindhoven and Belgian International Johan Bakayoko, who shared a typical day in the life of one of PUMA’s next-gen ballers.

Unleash your energy with the Energy Pack featuring vibrant editions of the ULTRA, FUTURE and KING available from August 3rd at PUMA.com and select retailers worldwide.

MAGNUS CARLSEN AND CHRISTIAN PULISIC TALK ABOUT SIMILARITIES IN FOOTBALL AND CHESS

Global Sports company PUMA announces a collaboration between five-time World Chess Champion Magnus Carlsen and professional football player Christian Pulisic.

Two sport icons came together on a football pitch to have a conversation about the differences and similarities between chess and football.

What can a football athlete and a chess player teach one another? The conversation between Magnus and Christian only shows that there are plenty of things that are relevant for both disciplines. “I am an attacking player who likes to be creative and to put defenders on their back foot. I like to be very aggressive and direct towards goals, so that's really my style,” said Pulisic. When playing football or chess, it is important to avoid critical errors, think strategically, and make decisions quickly. “In chess, I am pretty universal, but definitely leaning towards positional rather than tactical play,” said Carlsen.

Discover what further analogies and insights Magnus Carlsen and Christian Pulisic have found during their conversation and how it is about for them to have a special signature PUMA shoe in the full video on PUMA’s official YouTube channel at: LINK.

As the next step in the chess world, PUMA has partnered with Chess.com and Christian Pulisic once again to launch a Christian Pulisic chess bot. The Pulisic chess bot is an AI bot modeled after professional football player and global PUMA ambassador, Christian Pulisic. On July 13th, chess enthusiasts from around the globe will have the opportunity to test their skills and play a game against Pulisic. Fans can register for free on Chess.com and play Christian Pulisic from July 13th on the site’s “Play Computer” page, or at https://www.chess.com/play/computer?bot=christian-pulisic.

THE INFLUENCE PACK

Sports company PUMA has today launched the Influence Pack, a collection featuring four individual football jerseys each inspired by a special city and its football culture. PUMA has partnered with COPA90, nss sports, SEASON zine and SHUKYU magazine to create jerseys crafted from the cultures of London, New York, Naples and Tokyo.

PUMA X COPA90 JERSEY

COPA90 is inspired by New York’s soccer culture. A scene that started as a counterculture movement, defying age-old traditions, a product of New York’s history of hustling and change. Just like the city itself, the soccer pitches draw together people from different backgrounds, allowing them to forge their own traditions.

In collaboration with COPA90, PUMA has designed a special jersey inspired by the great city of New York. The famous five boroughs are a focal point of the design, along with the iconic bridges that connect them.

The black jersey with gold trim features all over graphics of famous places, buildings and soccer pitches located in the city. The crest features a comic version of the iconic Statue of Liberty, while the number five is displayed on the front and the back of the jersey, paying tribute to the five boroughs of New York. Written in gold, the COPA90 logo is displayed across the jersey’s neckline.

PUMA X NSS JERSEY

Born in 2012, nss magazine has become the reference point for street culture, sneakers and fashion communities and enthusiasts all over Europe. nss sports is a branch of nss magazine who are dedicated to football and sportswear culture.

In partnership with nss, PUMA has designed a truly unique jersey influenced by the city of Naples, the birthplace of nss magazine. The jersey also features a special tribute to the city’s brotherhood with Kagoshima, with reference to both cities and their volcanoes: Mount Vesuvius and Mount Sakurajima.

The slick grey jersey features a custom volcano crest, with the nss logo displayed across the front of the jersey in place of the sponsor logo. The all over flame graphic representing the fire from the volcanoes takes inspiration from old Japanese football jerseys. The neckline integrates the names and coordinates of both volcanoes.

PUMA X SEASON ZINE JERSEY

SEASON zine is a London-based trailblazing football and fashion platform founded in 2016 to counter the male, pale and sometimes stale state of modern football culture. Across print issues with original football stickers, events, newsletters, and more, the magazine empowers women and marginalized communities on and far beyond the pitch.

PUMA and SEASON zine have partnered to create a refreshing pastel jersey that reflects the platform’s journey. If you’re from London or you’ve visited London, you’ve almost certainly travelled by tube. The bespoke all-over graphic pays homage to the well-known retro patterns taken from the seats found on London’s public transport network in powder lilac and white, with a tech twist on the London tube map overlaid on top in vivid mint. A shiny grey ‘SEASON’ logo is displayed in place of the sponsor logo and on the neckline, you can find ‘FASHION FOOTBALL est.2016’ spelling out the platform’s beginning.

SEASON zine is celebrating its fifth birthday this year and the crest features 10 stars – one for each issue planned. Celebrate Your Journey! In this jersey. How far you’ve come, the lessons learned, everything you’ve achieved.

PUMA X SHUKYU JERSEY

SHUKYU is a football culture magazine based in Tokyo. The magazine focuses on players, clubs, supporters, fashion, art and the culture that exists beyond the beautiful game.

The striking green jersey draws inspiration from the city of Tokyo and the traditional Japanese event ‘Kemari’, a form of historical football. The Kemari festival takes place each year and is a platform for players to show their talents.

For this special jersey the cherry blossom motif has been used in an all over graphic inspired by the design of typical ‘Kimono’ costumes. The jersey also features a custom crest in homage to traditional Japanese patterns and fabrics. The magazine title is displayed in bold across the front of the jersey and the layout of the magazine’s front cover is displayed on the back of the jersey featuring the number 11.

The Influence Pack is available from March 24th at PUMA.com and at select football retailers worldwide.
