Official Adidas VfB Stuttgart home long sleeved football shirt from the 1996/97 season.
This is the 'plain' version of the jersey that did not feature a sponsor.
The condition of this original football jersey is 9/10 - Superb (see photos).
VfB did not qualify for any European competition again until 1997, by way of their third German Cup win, with coach Joachim Löw.
They enjoyed a measure of success on their return, advancing to the 1998 European Cup Winners' Cup final in Stockholm, where they lost to Chelsea in what was the penultimate year of the competition. Only one player of the "magic triangle", captain Krassimir Balakov, remained after Giovane Élber and Fredi Bobic left. Löw's contract was not renewed and he was replaced by Winfried Schäfer, who in turn was sacked after one season.
Stuttgart's performance, however, fell off after this as the club earned just mid-table results over the next two seasons despite spending money on the transfer market and for veterans like Balakov.
