What this jersey represents

Naprzód Jędrzejów is one of those Polish clubs that keep grassroots football alive, in regional divisions and lower-tier leagues where every point earned is golden. Jędrzejów is a city in the Świętokrzyskie Voivodeship, and the club carries a strong local identity there, rooted in the sporting and social fabric of an entire region. These clubs aren't on TV, but they've nourished Polish football for generations, by training players, by bringing communities together around a pitch on Sunday afternoons.

This Zina long-sleeve jersey with the WOJTRANS sponsor is a perfect reflection of this reality of Polish football in the 1990s-2000s: local kit manufacturers like Zina, a historical player in the Central and Eastern European sports market, outfitted these clubs with simple cuts and solid materials, made to last a full season in the sometimes harsh conditions of Polish regional championships. Sponsorship by local transport companies like WOJTRANS is the very DNA of local football – a local company supporting its team, plain and simple.

Moments etched into this jersey

Polish regional division football in the 90s
After the fall of communism, Polish football underwent a profound restructuring, and provincial clubs like Naprzód Jędrzejów navigated a system undergoing complete reorganization. It was in this transitional context that manufacturers like Zina provided kits for dozens of clubs without contracts with major global brands.

Zina, the kit manufacturer for clubs in the shadows
Zina is a Polish brand founded in Grodzisk Wielkopolski, which outfitted an impressive number of amateur and semi-professional clubs in Poland for decades. Finding a vintage Zina jersey in worn condition is holding a fragment of Eastern European sports history in your hands, a history that major football encyclopedias too often forget.

WOJTRANS, the local sponsor keeping the club afloat
In regional football, the shirt sponsor is often the craftsman, the transporter, the local merchant who puts their hand in their pocket so that the team can travel on the weekend. WOJTRANS, emblazoned on the chest of this jersey, proudly displays this entire economy of popular football, without complexes.

Authentic vs. Replica

An authentic vintage jersey is one that was made to be worn – by a player on the field or officially distributed to the club. Not a copy, not a commercial reproduction. The cut, the internal labels, the finishes: everything corresponds to what came out of the Zina workshops at that time. This is what gives this type of piece a value that recent replicas simply cannot reproduce.

This jersey is rated 7/10, with slightly worn prints, a few small snags in the fabric, and some residual dirt. This is exactly what you expect from an authentic worn vintage jersey – these marks are not flaws, they are proof that this jersey has lived. It was worn in real matches, in real competitions, by real people who seriously defended the colors of Jędrzejów.

Vintage size guide

The sizes of vintage Zina jerseys and Central European kit manufacturers from the 90s do not correspond to modern standards. An XL from that era can easily be equivalent to a current L, or even an M depending on the measurements. The cuts were more fitted, less wide in the shoulders, with lengths often different from what is found on the market today.

Before ordering, take a tape measure and measure your chest circumference as well as the back length of your favorite current jersey. Compare with the exact measurements indicated in the product sheet. This is the only way to avoid unpleasant surprises with a vintage jersey – a two-minute precaution that makes all the difference.

Why have it in your collection

Vintage regional Polish club jerseys are among the rarest and most sought-after pieces in serious collector circles. They were never produced in large quantities, never distributed in major sports stores, never highlighted in mainstream media. A Naprzód Jędrzejów Zina jersey with WOJTRANS sponsor, in long-sleeve XL size – this is an ultra-specific combination that you won't find twice in the same condition. This is the kind of piece that disappears from the market and doesn't come back.

In 7/10 condition, this jersey remains very presentable for display in a showcase, wall framing, or occasional wear for big matches. There aren't many in this condition on the market – most jerseys in this category have disappeared into drawers or flea markets without ever being identified for what they truly are. Here, you know exactly what you're buying.
