Original Borussia Dortmund home football shirt from the 2015/16 season by Puma. 

The model prepared by Puma for the season 2015/16 for Borussia Dortmund, in size S, is a striking interpretation of the classic BVB colours in a modern, match-day edition. The design is based on intense yellow base, which has been diversified a pattern of thin, horizontal black stripes arranged across the front at distinct intervals, giving the shirt a dynamic and technical character.

The Borussia Dortmund crest and manufacturer's logo retain their classic placement, complementing the cohesive design.

This is match version, made in Puma's cutting-edge technology available at the time — with ultra-light technical fabric, increased breathability and a tailored fit characteristic of shirts designed specifically for playing. These shirts differ from fan versions in terms of fabric quality and precision of workmanship.

This copy is particularly valuable due to the fact that it is Mitsuru Maruoki match shirt — a Japanese footballer who played for Borussia Dortmund's senior team one official appearance (during the season) 2014/15).
