Club Santos Laguna 2007/08 Home Shirt

The oldest of the Mexican set and the one carrying the most history per square inch. On the shoulder, the 100 Años de Torreón patch marks the centenary of the city, founded in 1907, while the crest on the chest shows just two stars, a detail that dates the piece and grants it special status: it was precisely in this season that the Guerreros won their third, beating Cruz Azul in the 2008 Clausura, the first title of the Atletica era and the last lived at the old Estadio Corona before the move to the new cathedral in 2009. The hoops appear faded in gradient, a bold technique for its time, surrounded by the Laguna advertising cast in full colour, from Soriana's vintage orange to Coca-Cola's red, with the club's website address printed across the back, 2000s style. A centenary shirt that ended up a champion's shirt.

Here at Hoopster this shirt closes an era with a full chest: Torreón's centenary on the shoulder, two stars on the way to a third and the farewell to the old Corona. Sometimes a whole season fits between a patch and a crest.
