1998-99 USA Nike Away Shirt - 7/10 - (L)

Official Nike USA away shirt from the 1998-99 season, worn as the USMNT competed in the aftermath of the 1998 World Cup in France where the Americans faced a brutal group containing Germany, Iran and Yugoslavia, the match against Iran carrying a political and cultural significance that extended far beyond the boundaries of sport and attracted a global audience that had little interest in football but enormous interest in the story surrounding two nations whose relationship had defined geopolitics for two decades. A classic late 90s Nike design from an era when the United States was laying the foundations of the football infrastructure that would eventually produce the most talented generation of American players the sport has ever seen, a period of quiet but determined growth that makes shirts from this era a fascinating and collectible piece of the long and improbable story of football's rise to become one of the most popular sports in North America. A large size USA away shirt from this period in this condition is an attractive and increasingly scarce piece of American football history from the early years of a journey that has delivered extraordinary results in the decades since. A one of one original — when it's gone, it's gone forever.
