2015/16 · Away

In 2015/16 Pirma cut all three León shirts from the same template, and this away is the home shirt in negative: tonal stripes on the front, a Y neck with a central insert and, only here, a band of thin green pinstripes across the chest. Not full hoops, but green stripes on white, and that is enough to enter the archive.

La Fiera finished third in the Apertura 2015, with Mauro Boselli sharing the golden boot on 13 goals, and third again in the Clausura 2016, by then without Juan Antonio Pizzi, who left in January for the Chile job, before falling to Pachuca in the semi-finals. The next away shirt would be black, which pins this one to 2015/16.

Here at Hoopster, this shirt is León’s debut and proof that green stripes can whisper as well as roar.
