1985/86 · Home

Long-sleeved Umbro Made in England, in the thin-piped hoops and V-neck mould the brand produced between 1984 and 1986, the same one Celtic wore in that era. On the chest, FootGreen Sport, the Sète sports shop that printed the club's shirts, with its phone number underneath: the eight digits only existed from October 1985, and they pinned down the season. On the back, JEANJEAN above the 2, in the French habit of placing the second sponsor behind, everything pointing to the Hérault wine house of the same name. The number had no fixed owner; numbers were not yet assigned per player.

It was worn by Sète's reserve side in D3, in a season the first team spent in D2 and the club lived its last years before the administrative relegation of 1989. The identification came from the person who knows most about it, collector @fcsetecollectionsinguliere, who confirmed the variant, the season and the division.

Here at Hoopster, this is the older sister of the 1988/89 youth shirt already in the archive: same club, same neighbourhood shop behind it, and a mould Scotland knows well.
