if you squint hard enough you can convince yourself its maroon. works for me.. but I might have had my contact lenses in the wrong way
Basically, it's the dortmund kit (but sky blue obviously) and purple (same as the ball) where the dortmund kit is black on the sleeves and shoulders. The sponsor is also purple. The purple is unusual but it's just a bit of trim and the shirt, the sleeves, the socks and the shorts are firmly within the club's traditions. For me, it's not as controversial as when we were given full white sleeves and laser blue shirts. At least our sponsor is kind of plain and one colour. Bet United fans can't wait to get rid of chevrolet as that sponsor looks a total mess and would ruin even the best of designs.
