FC Copenhagen 4th Kit 2005/06 L/S (M)

An unusual FCK classic from the mid-2000s. FC Copenhagen 4th kit 2005/06 is a long-sleeved retro shirt from the season when the Lions won the Danish championship. As a fourth shirt, it is an exciting alternative to the more well-known home and away shirts from the same period.

The shirt dates back to FCK's Kappa era, when the Italian sports brand supplied the club's playing kits. The combination of the alternative shirt design and long sleeves gives the model a distinctive look that makes it interesting for collectors of older FC Copenhagen shirts.

2005/06 was a successful season at Parken. FC Copenhagen secured the Superliga championship under Hans Backe, who thus ended his time as head coach with another Danish title. It was also the season when the foundation was laid for the club's upcoming European breakthrough.

On the pitch, FCK had prominent figures such as Michael Silberbauer, Tobias Linderoth, Álvaro Santos and Lars Jacobsen. The squad combined experience and quality with strong organization, making the Lions the most stable team in the Superliga.

It is especially the designation 4th shirt that makes this model noteworthy. While the home shirts from the championship season are relatively well known, the alternative versions are less commonly encountered. The shirt is not listed as match-worn, but is still an interesting piece of FCK nostalgia from an important period in the club's history.

A championship season, Kappa on the shirt, and one of the more overlooked versions from the Lions' wardrobe. You can buy more FCK shirts with Kappa as sponsor right here.
