Puma was the official kit supplier for Gladbach between 1976 and 1992. The famous sports brand had already been kitting out the Fohlenelf with footwear since 1967, as well as the legendary training jackets and trousers later on. So, Puma accompanied Borussia during the club’s most successful period. Five Bundesliga titles, a DFB Cup win and two UEFA Cups were celebrated during this period. “Borussia’s greatest sports successes in the 1970s are strongly associated with Puma. We are therefore very pleased to be working with PUMA once again from the 2018/19 season on and to hopefully build upon our past successes,”said Borussia sporting director, Max Eberl.
As of the 2018/19 season, Puma will supply the licensed team as well as all Gladbach youth teams with jerseys, training clothes and accessories. As part of the long-term partnership, Puma will also be the official partner for replica jerseys and merchandise ranges.
