Dynamo Dresden 2017-18: The Erima Away Shirt with 2. Bundesliga Flair

What This Shirt Represents

Dynamo Dresden is one of Germany's most popular and passionate clubs, with a history dating back to the GDR and one of the country's most fervent fan bases. After difficult years spent navigating between the 3. Liga and lower divisions, the club returned to the 2. Bundesliga in 2016 and maintained its place for the 2017-18 season. It was a time of rebuilding, rediscovered identity, and heightened regional pride. Dresden against the rest of Germany — this spirit is sewn into every fiber of this shirt.

On the pitch in 2017-18, Dynamo Dresden relied on a cohesive group with players like Haris Duljevic, a quality attacking midfielder capable of making a difference, and Moussa Koné, an athletic striker who terrorized opposing defenses. Coach Uwe Neuhaus instilled a combative playing philosophy, typical of East German football — intense pressing, defensive solidarity, and a never-give-up mentality. Away games, wearing this shirt, embodied the identity of a club that doesn't easily yield.

Moments Etched in This Shirt

Survival in the 2. Bundesliga as the primary objective
The 2017-18 season was played under constant pressure for Dresden: to remain in the second tier of German football against clubs with much larger budgets. Every point snatched away in this shirt represented a battle won in a war of attrition where the "Schwarz-Gelben" — the Black and Yellows — refused to fold.

Erima's return to top German football shirts
The partnership between Erima and Dynamo Dresden at that time was also a great industrial story: a historic German outfitter dressing a historic German club. Against giants like Nike and Adidas, Erima asserted its clean style and textile quality — this shirt is concrete proof of that.

Feldschlösschen, the sponsor that roots the club in its territory
The brewer Feldschlösschen emblazoned on the chest represents a strong geographical and cultural anchoring — a regional brand on the shirt of a deeply regional club. This type of sponsorship tells a much more sincere story between a club and its territory than partnerships with soulless banks or telecommunication operators.

Authentic vs. Replica

An authentic vintage jersey is not what you find in official stores or on reproduction websites. It's the version worn — or intended to be worn — by the players themselves, with technical finishes, reinforced seams, and materials specific to the professional world. The difference can be felt to the touch, seen in the details, and read in the fitted cut typical of "player issue" versions.

This one comes with Meyer printing applied professionally, and a 10/10 condition, meaning you hold in your hands a shirt that has never seen a pitch, never been washed, never been folded in a box for too long. It's as rare as it is precious — and it never stays on the vintage collector football shirt market for long.

Vintage Size Guide

Vintage football shirts — especially authentic versions from the late 2010s — are sized for professional footballers: narrow shoulders, fitted chest, controlled length. An XL from this era often corresponds to a modern L, or even an M in some contemporary brands with looser cuts. Don't rely solely on the label.

Before finalizing your purchase, take a tape measure and measure your chest circumference and shoulder width. Then compare with the actual shirt measurements we provide upon request. It's two minutes that prevent a bad surprise — and a shirt in this condition deserves to be worn, not put away because it doesn't fit.

Why Have It In Your Collection

Dynamo Dresden is a cult club outside of Germany too — Eastern European football fans, 2. Bundesliga enthusiasts, and collectors of vintage Erima shirts know exactly what this kit represents. Erima is not present on dozens of top-level clubs, which makes each piece rarer and more desirable. An away shirt from this specific season, with period printing, is a combination that won't be repeated.

And let's be honest: a shirt in 10/10 condition, unworn, with its original printing intact, doesn't grow on trees. Most items circulating on the collector football shirt market show signs of wear, peeling printing, or faded colors. Not this one. There really aren't many in this condition — and you know it.
