Sporting Lisbon shirts and jerseys in 2004/2005: the white hole on the back
This season saw the coming of a dreadful "innovation" that defaced the Sporting Lisbon home shirt. Due to external imposition, and with ludicrous arguments of visibility of the player name and number, the back side of the kits started to have a very large area in one colour only, which in this first year was a huge white area that makes that the hoops are not hoops at all. In this year this happened only in the match worn shirts, that is, worn by the Sporting Lisbon player on the pitch. The replica shirts still kept the hoops.
Furthermore, it is a slightly odd shirt, with a black diagonal stripe that starts below the arm pits on the front, continues to the back, where it separates the hoops from small areas that are completely white.
The Stromp jersey also shows some novel elements, besides the split green/white it has some small additional features, and a completely green .
The third Sporting Lisbon shirt of this season was in lettuce green colour, with black zig zag stripes that give the jersey a modern look.
The football season almost brought glory to Sporting Clube de Portugal. Instead, it ended in catastrophe.
