BORUSSIA DORTMUND EUROPEAN AWAY FOOTBALL SHIRT 1996/97 L/S *PLAYER SPEC*
Condition: 8.5/10 - Excellent condition. Colours vibrant, crests excellent. Material excellent with a couple of minuscule bobbles / odd minuscule pull to front and the odd patch of light bobbling to reverse. Minuscule hole to sleeve on close inspection.
Notes: Ultra-rare, long-sleeved European player-spec away shirt dedicated to the club's Champions League campaign when they were crowned Champions of Europe, beating Juventus in the final.
Player Spec/Issue shirts were not available for sale to the public unlike replicas, because they were specifically manufactured for players to wear during matches.
Player Spec/Issue shirts have different features to replica or 'store' shirts. The Player Spec/Issue features for this particular shirt are outlined below:
- Borussia Dortmund club badge is a transfer, rather than stitched as we see in store versions. Transfer crests were used by the club in this particular season for the players shirts, as evident with match issued / worn shirts from this season.
- No 'Die Continentale' or 'C' sponsor printed within material. Sponsorless versions were not available for sale commercially.
