Rare vintage SK Slavia Praha shirt #20 – “The Forbidden Star”
Product detailed description
Rare vintage SK Slavia Praha shirt #20 – “The Forbidden Star” (late 1980s)
A collector's one-off and a tangible piece of Slavia history! This shirt is not just an ordinary piece of clothing — it is a football legend made real. We are offering a historic “stitched” SK Slavia Praha shirt (made by the German brand wigu) that hides one absolutely fatal flaw — all the more precious for collectors: the red five-pointed star points with one tip upwards.
According to strict club traditions, the Slavia star must always point downwards. When this kit arrived at Eden from German production at the turn of the 1980s and 1990s, the first-team players, led by the legends of the day, refused to wear it out of respect for tradition and because of its visual resemblance to the emblems of communist clubs. The kit was immediately withdrawn from the first-team squad and passed on to the B-team, the youth side (U20) and training use.
On the right side of the chest sits a very unusual logo with two horses and the abbreviation ESM, and on the back there is a massive, period-typical 3D number 20.
