Kit: Home with original flock print of legendary striker Jürgen Klinsmann

The original flock/felt nameset is in fantastic condition, only thing to note is the presence of some ultra-faint tiny stains on it, not at all noticable until very close inspection)

Story of the shirt:

This classic design was worn by Bayern Munich for two consecutive seasons (95/96 and 96/97). In the summer of 1995, the German giants strengthened their squad after a disappointing 6th place finish the previous year, buying (amongst others) the then-30 year old Jürgen Klinsmann from Tottenham for a meagre €1.4 million. He proved to be a bargain investment, going on to be the club's top scorer for both the campaigns this kit was used – although it took the dismissal of taskmaster manager Otto Rehhagel and appointment of Franz Beckenbauer until they were able to reclaim the Bundesliga title in the 96/97 season.
