Iran 4

 

Mehrdad Minavand (Sturm Graz | AUT)
vs. South Korea (1:2) | Asian Cup | 2020 in Lebanon

I don't have a lot of love for the regime in Iran, but I certainly do love the Iranian national team and their kits. In particular, I love the Iran-made shirts, such as those made by Shekari, a company that did equip the Iranian national team again and again. One of the latest designs Shekari made for Iran is this 2000 home shirt, worn during the Asian Cup in Lebanon 2000. 

I got this shirt off eBay, if I recall correctly, and paid about 60€ for it. Which is definitely a fair price for a vintage, Iran-made, jersey. 

One side-note: Mehrdad Minavand, the player pictured above, who played almost 70 matches for Strum Graz, died from COVID in 2021. May he rest in peace.
