Football memories

A genuine piece of German football culture

This purple Adidas jersey with the iconic trefoil logo and sponsor print from “ZINK Bäckerei Conditorei” exudes early 90s football, when many German clubs outside the Bundesliga wore unique and local sponsorships. The design with a zigzag pattern and V-neck is typical of Adidas’ catalog models from the 1990–1992 period, and the long sleeve length signals both function and style from the match jerseys of that era.

Number 11 – the jersey for offensive magic

The back bears the number 11, which has traditionally been reserved for creative wingers and goal-scoring forwards. Who exactly wore the jersey is unknown – but all indications are that it is a match-worn player's jersey from a club in the Southern German leagues, perhaps the Bayernliga. It is precisely these anonymous heroes and their clubs that have given German football its deep culture and local roots.

A visual echo of an era

The jersey represents a time when even smaller clubs received stylish Adidas designs, and when football was close to the fans – both in the stands and in the village bakery, as the sponsorship here reminds us. Today, it is an aesthetic gem from a more down-to-earth and charming part of European football.

A collector's find in purple

The design, color choice, and construction make this jersey special. A jersey that belongs to both the wardrobe and history, with its authentic look and unknown, yet fascinating background.

Is there perhaps a place in your wardrobe for number 11 from a forgotten German football evening?
