The yellow is bright, with no dullness, and the tonal check pattern on the chest is crisp. The Evonik sponsor, the Puma cat and the BVB crest with its two stars are intact, and the black V-neck has kept its shape. The GÜNDOGAN 8 DORTMUND lettering is complete and crack-free.

✦ Lifetime authenticity guarantee
Checked by hand in my authentication workshop. If a piece bought from me ever turned out not to be authentic, I refund you in full. No expiry date: only original pieces, never modern re-editions.

Workshop note — Style 743555 is the 2013-2014 home shirt, and the 0513 date shows production in May 2013, just before the launch. On Puma shirts of this period, the label carries the full Herzogenaurach address: a detail I always check.
Klopp's BVB, after Wembley
On 25 May 2013, Dortmund lose the Champions League final to Bayern at Wembley (1-2). Ilkay Gündogan had scored the equalising penalty.
27 July 2013: instant revenge, BVB beat Bayern 4-2 in the German Super Cup.
2013-2014 season: second in the Bundesliga, German Cup finalists and Champions League quarter-finalists.
For Gündogan, it is a frustrating year: a back injury rules him out of almost the entire season. It is also Robert Lewandowski's last with Dortmund before his move to Munich.
That is BVB's lettering layout of the time: player name at the top, number with the club crest, and the city name below (photo 5).
What do the two stars mean?
In Germany, the stars above the crest reward accumulated league titles. Dortmund displayed two on this shirt.
How can I check the shirt is authentic?
Look at the inner label: Puma SE address, style 743555 and date 0513. Then check the two-star crest and the tonal check pattern.
How does this S fit?
Rather fitted and short. 48 cm pit to pit and 69 cm long: if you are tall, compare with a shirt of your own.
How much is shipping and how long does it take?
Dispatched within 24-48 h with tracking: €5.99 in France, €9.99 to the EU, free from €99.99. You have 14 days to return the shirt if it doesn't suit you. All the details in my shipping FAQ.
