Floriana F.C. 2014/15 Home Shirt

A Joma shirt for Floriana in 2014/15, with the lion crest between the hoops and the two stars of Malta's most decorated club. The connoisseur's detail is in the design: the Tal-Irish's historic trademark is the vertical stripes inherited from the Royal Dublin Fusiliers in 1905, and this horizontal hooped version is a rare variation on the canon, keeping the Irish soldiers' colours intact.

With no sponsor in the way, it is green and white in its purest state, over a century of lineage served in a modern cut.

Here at Hoopster, this is the Maltese link in the Irish family of hoops: the colours arrived in a 1905 shirt swap and still have not faded.
