Maccabi Haifa 2013/14 Special Shirt

The centenary shirt, with the 1913-2013 banner on the commemorative golden crest, and the back turns it into a double tribute: the number 9 and the Hebrew name of Zahi Armeli, an absolute club legend. An Arab Israeli striker from Shefa-Amr, Armeli was the star of the first titles in Maccabi Haifa's history in the 1980s, an idol who broke barriers in a divided country and living proof that in Haifa, green unites. The Glasgow style Nike hoops, with Honda across the chest, make this piece an unlikely and perfect crossroads: Celtic's pattern, a Japanese sponsor, an Israeli club and an Arabic name on the back. A hundred years of history in a single shirt, from the final season played at the old Kiryat Eliezer.
