GC Zürich 1998-99 home shirt - #11 - 8/10 - [XL]

    Our own studio photos of the original - never a catalogue image

    Description

    This Grasshopper Club Zurich home shirt from the 1998-99 season has the number 11 on the back, but no player name. The sponsor print is interesting: it still comes from the previous season, which suggests this piece was produced in advance, before the originally planned sponsor Leukerbad declared bankruptcy. The shirt comes from the collection of a long-time Swiss collector that retroshirts.ch works with, built up over years of personal contacts in the football world and the collector scene. In blue and white and the typical adidas make of those years, this shirt in size XL is interesting less because of a particular match than because of its small but well-documented origin story.

    Original football shirt of the club GC Zürich / GCZ (nickname "GC") from the Super League.

    The item was made by adidas, is blue/white and is a "Home" shirt from the 1998-99 season in size XL.

    The shirt has the back number #11 printed on it.

    We have graded this item as follows: Excellent.

    Details / additions: Occasional bits of lint. Occasional small pulled threads.

      Frequently asked questions

      Icon for reviewWhat condition are the shirts in?

      Honest condition details, transparent 1-10 grading and high-resolution original photos - so you see exactly what you get.

      • Our vintage treasures have a history - and sometimes the odd battle scar.
      • We list every flaw plainly and give a clear score from 1 (to love anyway) to 10 (fresh out of the time machine). How we grade is explained in detail on our condition page.
      • We take the photos ourselves in the studio, high-resolution and without Photoshop touch-ups - you can see every seam, every thread and every heroically earned stain.
      Icon for verifiedIs the shirt genuine?

      Yes. We sell verified originals only - no fakes. We check every shirt by hand before it goes on sale: MPN (where available), material and feel, seams, details.

      Icon for barcodeHow does the sizing run?

      Vintage shirts vary a lot depending on era and manufacturer - do not rely on the label alone. On every product page you find the chest width in cm (measured flat). Best compare it with a shirt that fits you well.

      Icon for shopping_bagCan I pick up / try on in store?

      Of course - drop by our store in Zurich and take a look at the shirts before buying (trying on included). Opening hours and address are here on the store page. What you see in the online shop is also in the store. During June/July some shirts are also at our pop-up in Zurich main station. Every shirt shows which location it is at.

      Icon for secureHow do I care for my vintage shirt?

      So your shirt lasts - the essentials in short:

      • Wash inside out, zips closed, 30 °C gentle cycle, detergent for sportswear.
      • Never tumble dry - air dry. Do not iron (at most carefully with steam).
      • Soak stains beforehand (mild soap), never chlorine bleach.
      • Old shirts with brittle print/flock: as rarely as possible, and by hand only.

      The full guide is here: Shirt care.
