The club, founded in 1899, is one of the most iconic in German football — winner of the \u003cstrong\u003e1980 UEFA Cup\u003c\/strong\u003e, German champion in 1959, but also a club that experienced the depths of the \u003cstrong\u003e2. Bundesliga\u003c\/strong\u003e, the German second division. In 2010-2011, Eintracht finished its season in Bundesliga 2 before returning to the elite, then went back to D2 in 2011-2012: a period of rollercoasters that forged the character of a club and its supporters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"line-height:1.8;margin-bottom:20px;\"\u003eIn this context of reconstruction, \u003cstrong\u003eJako\u003c\/strong\u003e — a serious and often underestimated German kit manufacturer — outfitted Eintracht with this home jersey worn by the entire team. The sponsor \u003cstrong\u003eFraport\u003c\/strong\u003e, the airport giant that manages Frankfurt Airport, is a logical partnership for a club rooted in the city's identity. On the field, players like \u003cstrong\u003eAlexander Meier\u003c\/strong\u003e, an attacker with undeniable flair, or \u003cstrong\u003ePirmin Schwegler\u003c\/strong\u003e in midfield, embodied this fighting Eintracht. And Tzavellas, a Greek full-back who came from Hamburg, brought his defensive rigor to this team in search of stability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 style=\"font-size:1.4em;font-weight:bold;margin-top:28px;margin-bottom:12px;\"\u003eMoments etched in this jersey\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"line-height:1.8;margin-bottom:12px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePromotion to the Bundesliga — Spring 2011\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAfter a 2010-2011 season played in the \u003cstrong\u003e2.

This means one very concrete thing for collectors: Eintracht's vintage jerseys, especially those from difficult years like 2010-2012, are becoming increasingly sought after.
