Borussia Dortmund Kit 94/95

"For 1994/95 (Ramberg’s personal favorite design), Nike’s team looked for local inspiration with the beautiful feather design based on the eagle from Dortmund’s city flag. The Nike logo was moved to a panel on the front of the neck and a bold jacquard pattern combined the Nike Premier logo with the team’s crest. Thick, elasticated black cuffs and collar with white trims completed the design, which now featured sublimated printing of the logo and sponsor. 

For many football fans, this shirt conjures up the image of a bloodied Matthias Sammer during a game against Borussia Monchengladbach. Having sustained a wound above his eyebrow, the injury was stapled without anesthetic and Sammer played on, earning the nickname ‘Iron Matthias’.⁣"
