Nike Borussia Dortmund 1998-00 Home Shirt

A classic late-1990s Borussia Dortmund home shirt produced by Nike during the club’s transition from its golden era into the new millennium. The jersey features Dortmund’s iconic bright yellow colorway, a centrally positioned Nike Swoosh, and the distinctive black s.Oliver sponsor logo across the chest. Clean, minimalist styling and Nike’s early performance fabric technology make this one of the most recognizable BVB shirts of the era.

This shirt was worn during the 1998–99 and 1999–00 seasons when Nike served as Borussia Dortmund’s kit supplier and fashion retailer s.Oliver was the club’s primary shirt sponsor. The Nike–s.Oliver partnership ran during a notable transitional period following Dortmund’s highly successful mid-1990s era, which included Bundesliga titles and the 1997 UEFA Champions League triumph. Nike manufactured Dortmund kits from 1990 to 2000, while s.Oliver appeared as shirt sponsor from 1997 to 2000.  

During these seasons, Dortmund finished 4th in the Bundesliga in 1998–99 and 11th in 1999–00 as the club underwent significant changes on and off the pitch. Players associated with this era included Andreas Möller, Stefan Reuter, Lars Ricken, Jörg Heinrich, and Stéphane Chapuisat.
