Puma - Borussia Dortmund 2017/18 Home Football Shirt 'REUS'

This Borussia Dortmund 2017/18 home shirt was made by Puma and features Marco Reus’ #11 nameset together with a Bundesliga sleeve patch. This particular example is the long-sleeved version of the shirt, combining Dortmund’s unmistakable yellow-and-black colours with the nameset of one of the club’s defining players of the modern era.

The 2017/18 season proved turbulent for Dortmund. Peter Bosz began the campaign as manager before being replaced by Peter Stöger in December, with the club eventually recovering to finish fourth in the Bundesliga and secure Champions League qualification. The squad featured Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Christian Pulisic, Shinji Kagawa, Mario Götze and a young Jadon Sancho, while Dortmund also competed in both the Champions League and Europa League during the campaign.

Reus missed the entire first half of the season while recovering from the serious knee injury he had suffered in the 2017 DFB-Pokal final. He finally returned in February 2018 and quickly demonstrated his importance to Dortmund, scoring seven goals across 11 Bundesliga appearances despite playing only the closing months of the campaign. His return included goals against Borussia Mönchengladbach, Augsburg and RB Leipzig as Dortmund fought to secure a top-four finish.

For collectors, the combination of Reus #11, the long sleeves, Bundesliga detailing and Puma’s distinctive fading-hoop design makes this an especially appealing Dortmund shirt. It represents Reus during a difficult but important comeback season, shortly before he produced one of the finest campaigns of his career in 2018/19, and captures a period in which he was becoming increasingly synonymous with Borussia Dortmund.

Shirt condition: 8.5/10
