The hundred-year shirt. Macron took its Alcyon template, wide hoops with tonal pinstripes and a green-trimmed V-neck, and placed the “100” at the nape with the club crest standing in for the zero. The clover stays on the chest, Connext, an insurance broker, takes the main sponsor spot, and Agricosmo, an agricultural connection company, sits under the 9 on the back.

It is a squad shirt, not a shop one: the number has no known owner, because in an oratory club numbers rotate with the seasons. What remains is the centenary from 1924 to 2024 celebrated in the same pattern as ever, green and white hoops in a Milan neighbourhood that, at first glance, nobody would link to Glasgow.

Here at Hoopster, this is proof that hoops do not need a stadium to reach a hundred years.
