On 1 July 1906, in Lisbon, Sporting Clube de Portugal was born. Today the club turns 120, and few symbols in Portuguese football are as instantly recognisable as its green and white.
Green and white as identity
Long before it became a European name, Sporting settled on an image that has outlasted the decades: the green-and-white colours and the striped shirt that became part of the visual language of football in Portugal. That heritage, the hoops, the horizontal stripes, is at the heart of Hoopster.
Sporting in the Hoopster archive
It is no accident that Sporting is the most represented club in our collection, with dozens of shirts logged across the decades. Each one tells a piece of the story of the Lions' kit: from makers to seasons, from home shirts to alternates.
On this anniversary, an invitation: browse every Sporting shirt on Hoopster and see how the green and white evolved without ever losing its essence.
Happy birthday, Sporting. 120 years of hoops.
