Description
This is the fully-customizable short-sleeve home kit for Czech Republic’s 1996 European Championships Campaign.
Euro 1996 was the Czech Republic’s first international competition following the dissolution of Czechoslovakia, and they took everyone by storm, reaching the final of the tournament.
England hosted the 1996 Euro Championship – the quadrennial tournament’s 10th edition – but it was Dušan Uhrin-led Czech that caught the eyes with their brilliant performances, finishing second in Group C after a 2-0 loss to eventual group leaders and winners Germany, a 2-1 win against Italy (with goals from Pavel Nedvěd and Radek Bejbl) and an exhilarating 3-3 draw with Russia (with goals from Jan Suchopárek, Pavel Kuka and Vladimír Šmicer). They advanced to the quarterfinals as a result, and Karel Poborsky’s second-half strike was enough to hand them a famous 1-0 win over Portugal.
Czech met France in the semis, and they held Aimé Jacquet’s side to a goalless draw after 90 minutes, and with neither side able to find a goal in extra-time, the game went into penalties. Both sides scored each of their first five attempts, and the proceeding went into sudden death. Reynald Pedros missed the French team’s sixth attempt while Miroslav Kadlec converted his spot-kick to send Uhrin’s men into the finals.
Euro 1992 runners-up Germany stood between Czech and a first-ever international silverware, but they appeared to be on their way to glory after Patrik Berger converted from the spot in the 59th minute at Wembley Stadium. However, Berti Vogts’ side continued to fight and eventually drew themselves level via Oliver Bierhoff in the 73rd minute. The game went into extra-time after neither team could find a winner in regulation time, and Bierhoff broke Czech’s heart with another goal five minutes into the first-half of the 30 minutes. They have taken part in every European Championship since then, with a place in the semi-finals in 2004 their best effort so far after their 1996 heroics.
Notable Players: Pavel Nedvěd, Václav Němeček, Vladimír Šmicer, Michal Horňák, Patrik Berger, Radek Drulák, Pavel Kuka, Jiří Němec, Miroslav Kadlec, Radoslav Látal
Main Points
- The jersey is 100% polyester. It’s breathable, and made for a life on the move.
- Fully customizable with the name and number of your favourite player or even yours! Just choose the Custom Jersey Option and then message us your desired name and number or write them in the order’s notes at checkout.
- Replica (Fan) Version. In football jerseys, there are two types of jerseys, and two kinds of qualities. There is the Replica Version, also called Fan or Stadium version, as well as the Player (or Match) Issue version – which is what players actually wear. The Replica is meant for fans and is the entry-level option – but is still very high quality, while the Authentic version is made for players and features different, higher quality materials.
- Tighter fit: make sure you choose the right sizing. We recommend buying one size bigger than you usually wear. This will ensure the jersey will fit.
Sizing Guidelines
This jersey comes in five sizes, which have a tiny difference: they’re a smaller fit. Our suggestion is to pick your size 1 size bigger than you usually would. If you usually wear an M, pick an L. If you usually wear an S, pick an M.
You’ll always be satisfied with your purchase.
If you have any problems with your order, we are one message away from making it right. Any concerns you have. You have our word.
- Your satisfaction is guaranteed. If one of your shirts has a defect or is not up to standards, we will make it right. We offer free return shipping for defective shirts, and are always here for you if something goes wrong.
- We guarantee the arrival of any product purchased from us. If your shirt really doesn’t get to you, we always either send another or send you a refund. Usually, all packages arrive within 40 days of the purchase by ePacket (usually 2-3 weeks), within 60 by China Post (Usually 4-5 weeks).
- We will always curate and find new unique, beautiful old school jerseys. Our goal is to have the store with the most beautiful, aesthetically-pleasing, and historical jerseys.
We accept returns up to 60 days after the reception of your package.
If there’s any problem at all with your jersey, we will make it right. These are our terms for the returns:
- If it has fabrication defects or has other unpardonable problems, we offer you a refund or replacement upon proof with a picture.
- We accept returns for intact jerseys that still have their tags on. If you have removed the tags and used the jersey we won’t accept your return.
- If it’s a mistake on our end, and the shirt is damaged or has defects, we pay the return shipping. If you simply don’t like it and want to return it, you pay the shipping. Another small way of highlighting our superior customer service.
It all started when we were around 5 or 6 years old…
We would go to school in the day, and then go back home. Then, we’d be out and about for the rest of the day. We were playing football with the rest of the kids from around our home all day.
We were playing for hours, and we never stopped, even if our moms called us to get inside. We would yell “10 more minutes!”, right before spending another two hours on the field.
It didn’t matter whether it was sunny, rainy, or there was a snowstorm. We were still playing, from Spring to Winter, every single day.
And we were wearing the same jerseys you can find on our store. We are more than a jersey company…
We want to help you Relive the Memories Through Old-School Jerseys.
