Borussia Dortmund DLS Kit URL – Dream League Soccer 2026-2027

A Borussia Dortmund DLS kits URL is a direct link to a 512×512 PNG shirt that you can import straight into Dream League Soccer. All four links are listed below, and each file has been loaded into the game before being added to this page.

Dortmund have kept things refreshingly simple for the 2026/27 season. There are only three outfield kits, so you can fill every available slot without having to leave one design behind. There is just one catch: the away shirt’s lightning pattern is unlikely to survive the move into DLS.

Three kits, three slots — no cup kit

Dortmund deliberately wanted a smaller kit collection this season, and Puma has not produced a separate cup kit for 2026/27.

That leaves three outfield shirts: home, away and third. Dream League Soccer also provides three outfield kit slots, so the numbers match perfectly.

Many clubs have released more designs this season. Bayern Munich have five, Amed SK have six, while Talleres, Junior, Banfield and Central Córdoba each have four. Those clubs force you to choose which shirt to leave out.

Dortmund are different. You can use all three current designs without making any compromises.

The away kit’s lightning pattern will disappear

Released in summer 2026, Dortmund’s away shirt uses a dark anthracite and black base with a tonal, all-over abstract lightning bolt pattern.

It sounds like a distinctive design, but it is a difficult one to reproduce in a small DLS image.

Two low-contrast problems work against the pattern

The first issue is that the lightning design is tonal. It uses different shades from the same colour family rather than clearly contrasting colours. That gives the compressed image very little visual information to preserve.

The second problem is the colour combination itself. Anthracite and black are both very dark, with very little difference in brightness. Even before compression, the pattern is difficult to distinguish from the shirt underneath.

Expect the imported version to look like a plain dark shirt. This is a limitation of the design’s contrast, not necessarily a problem with the file. No matter how good the original image is, the lightning pattern is unlikely to remain visible.

Strasbourg’s navy-and-black third kit and Lanús’ maroon-and-black railway-inspired design face a similar problem.

Check the sleeve detail instead

There is one useful detail to look for when choosing an away-kit file. The replica version was reported to be missing a sleeve detail that appears on the authentic shirt.

That gives you a way to identify which version a file represents. It is particularly useful here because the tonal lightning pattern is unlikely to help you distinguish between versions.

Open the image at full size and inspect the sleeves first. Then check whether the Puma branding and Dortmund crest are sharp and correctly positioned.

With so little visible pattern to judge, those details become your most useful quality checks.

The dark colours also affect visibility

DLS players appear relatively small on the pitch, so a kit’s visibility depends heavily on how different its colours are from the playing surface.

Anthracite and black are dark enough to separate from green grass, but the shirt has very little contrast within its own design. Once the lightning pattern disappears, the whole player can look like one solid dark shape.

For the away kit, white numbers are the safest choice. They provide a bright detail against the dark shirt and make the squad number easier to read.

Sport Recife’s All Black third, Kocaelispor, the New York Red Bulls and Llaneros have similar visibility considerations with their darker designs.

The third kit brings bright purple to Dortmund

Released on 30 July 2026, the third shirt features a bright purple base with neon yellow accents around the V-neck collar and cuffs.

Those yellow details maintain a connection with BVB’s familiar colours, while the overall purple design takes the club in a noticeably different direction.

Puma described the shirt as a deliberate departure, designed to stand out both on the pitch and in the stands.

Purple is excellent for visibility in DLS

Purple is one of the strongest choices for standing out against a green football pitch. It is bright, saturated and visually distant from the background colour.

That makes this the easiest Dortmund shirt to follow during a match, particularly if you sometimes lose track of your players when several are close together.

Austin FC’s Violet Crown third and Orlando City’s home shirt benefit from the same contrast against the grass.

The neon yellow details may become very thin

The neon yellow appears around the collar and cuffs, but these are two of the smallest areas on the DLS kit template.

The collar is represented at a much smaller scale than it appears on a real shirt, while the cuffs are narrower still. As a result, the neon detailing may become thinner than expected or compress into a narrow line.

That is not a major problem for this design. The purple base is doing most of the visual work and should reproduce well. The yellow accents are an extra detail rather than the main feature of the shirt.

Colorado Rapids, Nashville, Vancouver and Llaneros have experienced similar losses of small collar and cuff details.

The home kit takes inspiration from industry

Dortmund’s 2026/27 home shirt was released on 8 May 2026 and made its debut immediately. The design takes an industrial-inspired approach while keeping the club’s traditional black-and-yellow identity.

Black and yellow offer excellent contrast

Yellow stands out strongly against the green grass, while black creates a clear contrast against the yellow sections.

It is the same basic advantage enjoyed by clubs such as Peñarol, Göztepe, Nashville and Hull City.

For DLS, Dortmund’s home colours are close to ideal. The combination makes players easy to recognise, and the strong difference between black and yellow helps the shirt remain visually clear even when players are shown at a distance.

Check how the industrial design is represented

An industrial theme can be reproduced in two very different ways, and that distinction matters when choosing a kit file.

Bold graphics and clear colour blocks: These should remain visible after compression.

Fine textures, tonal patterns and subtle surface effects: These can fade or disappear in the smaller imported image.

Open the home file at full size and look at how clearly the industrial elements appear. If the design is easy to recognise in the flat image, it has a better chance of surviving in the game. If you have to zoom in to find the details, do not expect them to become clearer after importing.

Pay particular attention to the boundary between black and yellow. It is the strongest contrast on the shirt and should look clean and sharply defined.

Make sure you are not downloading the leaked prototype

An early prototype of Dortmund’s 2026/27 home shirt leaked before the final design was released. The prototype was slightly different from the version officially launched in May.

That means some files circulating online may show a design the club did not ultimately wear.

When choosing your home kit, compare it with the card above rather than relying on leaked prototype images. The final released version is the one you want in your DLS setup.

Which Dortmund kit works best in Dream League Soccer?

Each shirt has a different strength. The home is the strongest all-round option for contrast, the away loses much of its defining pattern, and the purple third offers the best visibility.

Home: Black and yellow industrial-inspired design. Best overall contrast and pitch visibility.

Away: Anthracite and black with tonal lightning. Expect the pattern to disappear.

Third: Bright purple with neon yellow details. The base colour reproduces well, although the small accents may become thinner.

What number colours should you use on Dortmund’s kits?

Dream League Soccer does not take the number colours from your imported shirt image. Instead, they are controlled by two small colour swatches in the kit template: one for the shirt numbers and another for the shorts.

For Dortmund’s three designs, these combinations work best:

Home: Use black. It matches the club’s colour pairing and stands out clearly against the yellow sections. White or other pale shades can disappear against a bright yellow background.

Away: Use white. Against the dark anthracite and black shirt, it provides the strongest contrast.

Third: Choose neon yellow or white. Both are easy to see against the purple base, while neon yellow also matches the shirt’s own detailing.

Remember to set the shirt and shorts number colours separately. Changing one swatch does not automatically change the other.

How to identify a current Borussia Dortmund kit file

Before importing a file, check these four details:

Puma branding: The 2026/27 Dortmund kits use Puma.

Three outfield designs: There is no separate cup kit in the current collection. A file claiming to be a 2026/27 cup shirt is not part of this range.

Correct colours: The away should be dark anthracite and black, while the third should have a bright purple base.

Final home design: Compare the home shirt with the card above. An early prototype leaked, so not every image circulating online shows the final version.

How to import a Borussia Dortmund DLS kits URL

Use the copy button on the kit card to get the direct image link. Copying the address from your browser’s address bar often gives you the webpage instead of the actual PNG file.

Once you have copied the link, open Dream League Soccer and follow these steps:

Go to My Club.

Select Customise.

Open Kit, not Logo. The badge has its own separate section.

Choose the outfield slot you want to replace.

Press and hold the URL field, then tap Paste.

Select Confirm to import the shirt. Some older versions of the game use the label Download instead.

Choose your slot before pasting the link. The shirt currently selected is the one that will be replaced.

Dortmund’s three outfield kits fit the three available outfield slots exactly. Your goalkeeper kit is separate, so you can choose a bright goalkeeper design to make the team easier to follow, particularly when the dark away shirt is in use.

The first custom kit requires a one-time gem unlock. Once that has been done, changing or replacing your kits is free.

Test your kit URL before importing it

It is worth opening each link in your browser before using it in the game.

A working direct image URL should display the shirt by itself, without a surrounding webpage, buttons or other controls. The address should also end in .png.

If the link opens a page with the image inside a viewer, it is not the direct file that DLS needs.

The away shirt requires a little extra care. Because its tonal lightning pattern is difficult to see even in a good image, appearance alone is not a reliable way to judge file quality. Check the image dimensions reported by your browser, then inspect the sleeve detail, Puma branding and crest.

Why Borussia Dortmund DLS kit URLs sometimes stop working

A kit link can stop working for several reasons. Three problems are particularly common.

The image host deletes the file

Free image-hosting services sometimes remove unused uploads after months or years. The old URL may still look correct, but the image itself is no longer available.

This is a relatively low risk for Dortmund because BVB kits are popular and their files are regularly created and shared.

Hotlink protection blocks the game

Some image hosts enable hotlink protection. This prevents other websites or apps from requesting an image directly.

That can create a confusing situation: the image opens normally when you click the link in your browser, but DLS cannot retrieve it after you paste the same URL into the game.

The preview and the actual download link are different

Some kit pages display a thumbnail hosted on their own server but provide a separate URL for the original image. The preview may continue to work even after the linked file has disappeared.

For the kits on this page, the image you see and the URL you copy point to the same file on the same server.

Setting the Borussia Dortmund badge in DLS

You can import the club crest during the same customisation session. Open the Logo section instead of Kit and paste the badge URL there.

Dortmund’s familiar crest is circular, with the black BVB initials displayed on a yellow background.

That circular shape is a good match for Dream League Soccer’s badge system. The game crops imported badges into a circle, so a properly prepared round crest should retain its full design.

The yellow-and-black combination also provides strong contrast, making the initials easy to recognise at the small size used during matches.

Choose an image with some clear space around the artwork rather than one cropped tightly to the outer edge. That gives the circular crop a little room and helps prevent the crest from looking cramped.

Save your Dortmund kit links for later

Custom kits are stored on your device rather than being permanently attached to your game account. A normal game update will usually leave them in place, but reinstalling DLS or moving to a new phone can mean losing your imported shirts and badge.

Dortmund’s 2026/27 collection is particularly straightforward to set up: three outfield kits, three available slots and no cup design to choose between.

Before importing anything, copy the kit URLs and badge link into a notes app or another safe place. That way, you can restore the full Dortmund setup if you ever change devices or reinstall the game.
