Hummel repeated the previous season’s design and left two clues to tell it apart: the V neck gained white flaps and FNAC gave way to Nissan. This version comes without a sponsor, with the same raised lion and the chevrons running down the sleeves.

Sousa Cintra took over as president in June 1989 and the season is remembered for one tie: Napoli in the UEFA Cup, Maradona on the Alvalade bench wearing 16 and leaving the pitch dressed as a Sporting player in Carlos Manuel’s shirt. Two 0-0 draws and penalties in Naples, with Ivkovic saving Maradona’s kick and Sporting going out 4-3. In the league, three coaches and a third place finish.

Here at Hoopster, this is the design Maradona wore as he walked off the pitch.
