Nike dressed Sporting Paris in the usual hoops, the Sporting Paris crest on the chest and a mural of Luso-Parisian sponsors: Caixa Geral de Depósitos and Fidelidade Mundial's French branch, with the Mairie de Paris's emblem on the sleeve confirming the city council's support for the Portuguese associative movement. On the back, Sporting Club Paris over the Portuguese flag, Khireddine's 8 and Delta Cafés closing it out, a Portuguese brand supplying saudade on French soil.
It is the 2010/11 shirt of the futsal section, the club's most active face since 2003.
Here at Hoopster, enter the Sporting that never left home: the same hoops, the same Portuguese banks, a thousand kilometres from Alvalade.
