MY THOUGHTS

There’s something special about this Deportivo Cali shirt that isn’t immediately obvious just by looking at it. On its own, the shirt doesn’t give much away. It’s only when you place it alongside another of the club’s shirts from the same season that the story really becomes clear.

In Colombia, the football season is divided into two halves: the Apertura (opening) and the Finalización (closing). During the first half of the season, Deportivo Cali wore this exact shirt as their home kit for all matches. However, when the second half of the season began, the club switched to a completely new home shirt, and this one was never worn again. Not all Colombian clubs do this, and it’s definitely not something we see in English football—thankfully, because that would mean spending twice as much on shirts every season.

As for the design, it’s quite intriguing. The pattern across the front could be interpreted in several ways—some might see waves, others might say it looks like a fingerprint or even foliage. Whatever the inspiration, it gives the shirt a distinct look that stands out without being too loud.
​
Being a Kappa shirt, the quality is exactly what you’d expect—well-made and comfortable. Even though it was only used for half a season, I’m really happy to have it in the collection. It's a great example of how a shirt can carry a story that isn’t immediately visible but adds value the more you learn about it.
