Coritiba home shirt for 2016, the first of adidas’ return, the brand that dressed the Coxa for the 1985 Brazilian title. The double green band crosses the chest with the crest in the middle and the golden star above, but the base gives away its origin: a Condivo 16 training template, with a V-neck and three black stripes down the sides. This is the adizero player version.

It was a year of scares. Kleina fell early, Carpegiani took over a struggling side, secured survival with two rounds to spare and led Coxa to the Sudamericana quarter-finals, after a historic night against Belgrano in Argentina, before falling in Medellín to Atlético Nacional. The WILLIAN 10 on the back is a fan personalisation.

Here at Hoopster, it is the bridge between the 1985 star and today’s Diadora shirts: another brand, the same green band, the same Coxa.
