FK Pelister 2017/18 Home Shirt

Givova drew the hoops in reverse: thin white pinstripes over bottle green, with the chest doubling as a map of the region. The club crest with 1945 and the leather ball on one side, Bitola's coat of arms on the other, and sponsors that tell the whole geography: ZK Pelagonija, the agricultural combine of the plain that cradles the city, on the chest, Pelisterka, the water born on the mountain that names the club, and Orka Holding on the back, all in Cyrillic without a word of concession.

It is the 2017/18 shirt of the Macedonian top flight, no number on the back, from the Zeleno-beli's days in the elite with the mountain over their shoulder.

Here at Hoopster, the language is Cyrillic and geography: a shirt where even the sponsors are the club's own plain and mountain.
