The Derry City 1987–88 Home Jersey is a striking example of late-80s football aesthetics, combining bold design choices with classic simplicity. The red-and-white vertical stripes evoke a timeless sense of tradition, firmly rooting the shirt in the club’s Irish football heritage. The balance between the bright crimson and clean white creates an energetic yet disciplined visual rhythm — instantly recognizable on the pitch.
The thick collar and sleeve cuffs provide a structured silhouette typical of that era, while the minimal sponsor logo “Smithwick’s” adds a touch of vintage charm without overwhelming the composition. The embroidered club badge, positioned slightly high on the chest, emphasizes authenticity and craftsmanship. Subtle textural details in the polyester fabric reflect the 1980s’ transition from heavier cotton kits to more performance-oriented materials, giving the jersey both nostalgia and athletic precision.
In essence, this design captures the essence of Derry City’s golden years — bold, proud, and unmistakably classic. It’s a faithful recreation that bridges the gap between football history and collectible artistry.
