It begins with the triumph at \u003cstrong\u003eEuro 1996 in England\u003c\/strong\u003e, a major title won against the Czech Republic thanks to a \u003cstrong\u003egolden goal by Oliver Bierhoff\u003c\/strong\u003e — the first of its kind in a major international final.

It's a piece produced at the time, to be worn — by a player, a supporter, someone who lived football from the inside. The cuts, materials, labels, everything is different from modern or retro replicas. This is what makes them true \u003cstrong\u003efootball collector's items\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"line-height:1.8;margin-bottom:20px;\"\u003eThis one shows an \u003cstrong\u003e8\/10 condition\u003c\/strong\u003e with some small fabric pulls and a shortened bottom. It's precisely these small imperfections that prove it's real, that it has lived.

A \u003cstrong\u003esize S\u003c\/strong\u003e from 1996 often corresponds to a modern XS, sometimes even smaller depending on body types. The cuts were fitted, close to the body, without the ample drapes we see today with technical fabrics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"line-height:1.8;margin-bottom:20px;\"\u003eBefore confirming your order, get out the tape measure: measure your chest circumference and compare it with our flat measurements available on request.

The Euro 96 period is one of the most sought after by European collectors — and finding a copy with \u003cstrong\u003eBierhoff\u003c\/strong\u003e's print, the hero of Wembley, is another dimension. It's not just a national team jersey, it's a print that tells a specific moment, a date, a goal that changed football history.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"line-height:1.8;margin-bottom:20px;\"\u003eThere aren't many in this condition with this specific print.
