Crossing Schaerbeek home shirt by Rafaiden, the Brussels brand that dressed the club in its first seasons in the national leagues. The green hoops carry a diagonal brushstroke effect and a thin white line cutting each one in half, with grey side panels, a green, black and white V-neck, "Crossing Schaerbeek" embroidered at the back of the neck and 1030, the borough's postcode, printed inside. The crest with the golden donkey, Schaerbeek's historic emblem, sits on the right of the chest.

The rest tells the economics of a neighbourhood club: Beobank on the chest, the Özgür haulage firm twice above it, the Brussels Region on the sleeve, a snack bar and a damage-control company on the back. The 49 and the signature on the chest belong to a player nobody has identified. On the back of the collar, the motto: Visons Plus Haut.

Here at Hoopster, this shirt is proof that green and white hoops also live in the leagues where the sponsors are the neighbours.
