C.D. Monkayo Corazonista 2012 Home Shirt

Vibrant green with a repeated IberCaja jacquard pattern, the Aragonese savings bank that sponsored the club, a contrasting white collar and a white diagonal cutting across the chest, a classic 1990s cut still in use on a 2012 shirt, a sign of how long these school kits stay in circulation. On the chest, two crests sit side by side: the Juego Limpio seal from IberCaja itself, promoting fair play among the youngest players, and the circular emblem of C.D. Moncayo Corazonistas, showing the mountains of the Moncayo, the Aragonese peak that gives both the school and the club their name. The central sponsor, Marmoles y Granitos Garbel, a marble and granite company, is typical of the local business fabric that sustains Spanish school sport. On the back, a white number 2 for a defender, and on the sleeve the badge of the Federación Aragonesa de Fútbol. It is the shirt of a small club tied to a century old school, where sport remains, as it has for over a hundred years, a tool of formation before anything else.

Here at Hoopster, it’s Spanish school sports in its purest form: no big names, just training.
