A hundred years can fit on a shirt, and this one proves it. For the 2022 centenary, Select designed a commemorative piece where every detail is a date: the entire fabric is covered in a pattern of 1922 repeated to infinity, the back swaps the player number for a golden 100, and the hem carries the statement of principles, Desde 1922. The hoops alternate two shades of green in gradient over white, the cuffs and collar get golden trim fit for a celebration, and on the chest the centenary logo pairs a gold lion with the dates 1922 and 2022, beside the crest of castle and lion. This is not the shirt of one season but of all of them: a summary of a hundred years of district football, of generations raised at the club and Sundays at the Municipal, condensed into green, white and gold polyester. Few pieces in the collection state their purpose so clearly.

Here at Hoopster, it is a whole century folded into polyester: a hundred years of district football and Sundays at the Municipal, with the golden 100 on the back standing in for every number that ever came before.
