This classic crew neck sweatshirt in heather grey loopback cotton knit is characterized by the iconic NIPPON graphics embroidered on the Japanese National Football Team jacket designed for the Olympic Games 1964 in Tokyo.
In November 1960, The Japanese League Association hired Mr. Dettmar Cramer, later known as “Father of Japanese Football” to set fundamental skills and accuracy of plays to prepare the Japan National Team for the Tokyo Olympics of 1964.
On 14 October, 1964, in the opening match of the Tokyo Olympics against mighty Argentina, Japan came back from behind for an upset. Then they kept marching out of the group stage to the quarter finals.
Encompassing the classic 80s Stadio Comunale roots aesthetic, this sweatshirt with heritage details is an essential piece to express passion with style.
