1995-1997 Cork City FC Adidas Home Football Shirt Guinness

This vintage Cork City FC jersey features a clean white base with a distinctive red button-up polo collar and green adidas three-stripes on the shoulders. The body of the shirt is characterized by a tonal jacquard weave featuring the repeating text 'CORK CITY FC' and the club crest. The 'GUINNESS' sponsor is featured in a bold, black felt/flock print across the chest, and the club crest is a stitched patch. The fabric is a lightweight polyester typical of 1990s sportswear. This piece is notable for being produced under license by the Irish firm Three-Stripe International, which was based in Cork and created bespoke designs for the club that were not used by any other adidas-affiliated teams.This jersey dates from one of the most successful periods in Cork City FC's history, most notably the 1992-93 season when they won their first-ever League of Ireland title after a series of dramatic three-way play-offs. The 'Guinness' sponsorship is iconic in Irish football history, representing a long-standing partnership between the club and the famous brewery. A unique historical aspect of this shirt is its manufacture: it was produced by 'Three-Stripe International' in Cork, a company that held a special license from adidas to design and manufacture kits locally, resulting in highly collectible, bespoke designs that differ from standard adidas templates of the era.
