The team first began playing in white and blue stripes, paired along with red shash as well as black shorts. In 1913, they wore the stripes of yellow and black that we are familiar with in the present.
In the following decades, the club had only moderate results in local leagues. The club faced bankruptcy in 1929 after attempts to improve the fortunes of the club by signing professional footballers fell short and left the club in debt. They were able to survive thanks to the generosity of a local fan who paid for the team's deficit by putting money into his savings.
The 1930s witnessed the advent of the Third Reich, which changed the structure of football and sports organizations across the country in accordance with the objectives of the regime. Borussia's president was removed after he was not a member of in the Nazi Party, and several members who secretly used the office of the club to create anti-Nazi propaganda were executed in the closing days of war. The club was able to achieve greater success in the newly formed Gauliga the Westfalen but had for a while after World War II for an impact. This was the time that Borussia was able to establish a fierce competition between itself and Schalke 04 from nearby Gelsenkirchen and was considered to be the most successful team during the time (see Revierderby). As with all other clubs within Germany, Borussia was dissolved by Allied occupation authorities following the war, in an effort to separate the nation's institutions from its Nazi history. There was a short-lived attempt to merge the club with two others - Werksportgemeinschaft Hoesch and Freier Sportverein 98 - as Sportgemeinschaft Borussia von 1898, but it was as Ballspiel-Verein Borussia (BVB) that they made their first appearance in the national league final in 1949, where they lost 2-3 to VfR Mannheim.
Between 1946 until between 1946 and Borussia played in between 1946 and 1963, Borussia played in the Oberliga West, an upper division league that had a dominant influence on German football until the end of the 1950s.

In 1962 in 1962, in 1962, the DFB meeting was held in Dortmund and decided to create an official football league in Germany and begin playing in August 1963, dubbed known as the Bundesliga. Borussia Dortmund earned its place in the top 16 clubs that played in the league when it won the previous pre-Bundesliga champions championship. Runners-up 1. FC Koln also earned an automatic entry into the. Dortmund's Friedhelm Konietzka scored his first Bundesliga goal just a minute into the game and they would be beaten by a score of 2-2 against Werder Bremen.
The year the year 1965, Dortmund captured its first DFB-Pokal. In 1966, Dortmund won the European Cup Winners' Cup 2-1 against Liverpool during extra time with goals scored by Sigfried Held, and Reinhard Libuda. In the same season however, the team lost a dominant position in the Bundesliga by losing four of their five league matches and finishing third, three points ahead of Champions 1859 Munchen. In the end, a lot of Munchen's successes were due to the merits of the playing of Konietzka who was recently transferred from Dortmund.
The 1970s were marked by financial issues, dropping out of the Bundesliga in 1972 as well as the launch of the Westfalenstadion which was named for the region it is home to Westphalia in 1974. The club made its return to the Bundesliga in the year 1976.

Following a tenth place finish during the Bundesliga in 1991 the director Horst Koppel was fired while the manager Ottmar Hitzfeld was appointed.
The year the year 1992, Hitzfeld led Borussia Dortmund to second place on the Bundesliga and would have also won this title were the VfB Stuttgart had not won their final game to be champions instead.
Along with a fourth-place finish in the Bundesliga, Dortmund made it to the 1993 UEFA Cup final, which they lost 6-1 on aggregate to Juventus. In spite of this performance, Borussia walked away with DM25 million as part of the scheme of award money pools which was in that time for German teams competing at the Cup. Cash flowing, Dortmund was able to select players who later earned them many honours during the 90s.
In the era of the leadership of captain of 1995 European Footballer of the Year Matthias Sammer, Borussia Dortmund had back-to-back Bundesliga championships in 1995 and 1996. Dortmund also took home The DFL Supercup with Monchengladbach during the year 1995 as well as 1. FC Kaiserslautern in 1996.

Then , a 20-year-old replacement and local player Lars Ricken latched to a cross-field pass made by Andreas Moller. Within 16 seconds of arriving on the playing field Ricken struck Peruzzi into the Juventus goal from more than 20 yards by his first touch to the ball.

Real took the lead in the first leg with a 2-0 win at home. Dortmund performed much better during the following half but were unable to take advantage of their chances.

The same time, Borussia lost the final of the 2001-02 UEFA Cup to Dutch team Feyenoord.
The fortunes of Dortmund then slowly decreased over the course of several years. Insufficient financial management resulted in an enormous debt burden and the demise of their Westfalenstadion stadium. The problem was further exacerbated by the team's failure to progress in the 2003-04 UEFA Champions League, which saw the team eliminated on penalties during their qualifying round in the qualifying rounds by Club Brugge. The year 2003 was the time that Bayern Munich loaned EUR2 million to Dortmund for a number of months to cover their salaries. Borussia was once more pushed into bankruptcy in 2005, with the originally EUR11 worth of its shares soaring by more than 80 percent in the Frankfurt Stock Exchange.
At the time, Hans-Joachim Witzke was appointed as the CEO and the club was streamlined. The response to the financial crisis included cuts of 20% to pay to all members.

Dortmund was a mess from the beginning towards their 2005-06 season, but then rallied to finish in seventh place. The club did not earn the right to participate in the UEFA Cup via the Fair Play draw. The club's management recently indicated that the club again showed a profit; this was largely related to the sale of David Odonkor to Real Betis and Tomas Rosicky to Arsenal.

The year 2007-08, the campaign, Dortmund lost to many smaller Bundesliga clubs. Despite finishing 13th on the Bundesliga table, Dortmund reached the DFB-Pokal Final against Bayern Munich, where they lost 2-1 after extra time. The final game was enough to qualify Dortmund to play in their participation in the UEFA Cup because Bayern already had qualified as a team for this year's Champions League.
