Athletic Club Bilbao 1997/98 Retro Soccer Jersey

Athletic Club Bilbao's 1997/98 retro shirt is from a club with the most unique identity in professional football: a strict policy of fielding only players of Basque origin or trained in the Basque Country, maintained since the club's founding in 1901. This has never prevented Athletic from competing at La Liga's highest level — winning eight Spanish titles, 23 Copa del Rey trophies and producing players including Andoni Zubizarreta, Julen Guerrero and the great Joseba Etxeberria.

The red and white stripes of Athletic Club are among football's most recognisable kits, and the Basque identity they represent — rooted in a specific region, language and culture — gives San Mamés stadium an atmosphere unlike anywhere else in European football. Supporting Athletic is a declaration of Basque identity as much as sporting allegiance. The 1997/98 retro throwback is from the era of Guerrero and Etxeberria, when the Basques competed seriously for Copa del Rey glory.
