1998-99 Dalas Burn Nike Home Shirt DAMIAN #11 - 7/10 - (S)

Official Nike Dallas Burn home shirt from the 1998-99 era, printed with the name and number of Damián Álvarez, the Mexican forward who brought his attacking quality and international pedigree to one of Major League Soccer's most consistently competitive franchises during the foundational years of professional football in the United States. This shirt covers one of the most successful periods in the Dallas Burn's history, the 1999 season in particular delivering a second place finish in the Western Conference under coach Dave Dir as Jason Kreis won the MLS MVP award with 18 goals, the club reaching the Western Conference Finals before losing to the Los Angeles Galaxy in a campaign that remains one of the finest in the franchise's story before their rebrand as FC Dallas. A named and numbered Damián Álvarez Dallas Burn shirt is a wonderfully rare and historically fascinating piece of early MLS memorabilia from the pioneering years of professional football in America, bearing the name of one of the Mexican players whose presence in the league during this era helped give MLS a genuine international flavour and credibility during its formative and most important period. A one of one original — when it's gone, it's gone forever.
