2019/20 · Home

Lacatoni dressed the Lions of the Mountain with the whole mountain: Sport Hotel on the chest, Sabores da Gardunha, the cherry growing sierra, on the back, CRP's synthetic pitches at the base and Delta's triangle on the sleeve. A map of the Beira stitched into hoops, with the lion on the crest as a reminder of which family this is.

It served the season that never ended. The 2019/20 second division was suspended on 12 March by the pandemic and never resumed: no champion declared, nobody relegated, Nacional and Farense promoted by decree and the serranos frozen in the table at 24 games. There are title shirts and relegation shirts; this one is a shirt of ellipses.

Here at Hoopster it matters for exactly that: no other piece in the archive wears a season that was left, forever, unfinished.
