Nottingham Forest & Macron celebrate the 40th anniversary of first Champions Cup!

On May 30, 1979 at the Olympic Stadium in Munich, Trevor Francis of Nottingham Forest, scored the goal that took his team a historic 1-0 victory in the final against the Swedes of the Malmö FF. He raised to the sky the first of two consecutive European Champion Cups.

Today, the English club and Macron, the technical sponsor of Nottingham Forest and leader in teamwear manufacturing, have presented a special edition shirt that celebrates the 40th anniversary of that amazing victory.

This celebration shirt was created in the classic Nottingham Forest red or ‘Garibaldi red’. It has a V neck and a white trim that runs along the collar and the sleeve edges. The backneck is personalized with a red tag that features the club logo.

The words CHAMPIONS OF EUROPE 1979 are continuously embroidered inside the collar. On the back of the collar trim the Champion Cup (today Champions League) is embroidered in white.

All the names of the players who participated in the 1979 triumph are present in the fabric of the garment, repeatedly printed tone on tone sublimation on the right front side of the shirt, a detail that makes this jersey really unique.
