FC Copenhagen Away Shirt 1997/98 (L)

Black Kinnarps, classic 90s look and a very special place in FCK's shirt history – the away shirt from 1997/98 is one of the models that truly stands out from the club's early years.

The FC Copenhagen away shirt 1997/98 marks an interesting stylistic shift for the capital club. While FCK is traditionally associated with the white home shirt, the black away model gave the club a much darker and more uncompromising expression on foreign soil.

The black base colour is combined with classic details from the period and the striking Kinnarps sponsor on the chest. The Kinnarps logo in particular has today become a strong part of the nostalgia surrounding FCK's shirts from the late 90s and makes the model instantly recognizable among collectors.

1997/98 was still part of FC Copenhagen's formative years. The club was only a few years old and was still in the process of creating the identity, culture, and position in Danish football that would later make FCK the country's most winning club in the Superliga era.

On the pitch, profiles like Christian Lønstrup, Peter Nielsen, Carsten Hemmingsen, and David Nielsen were among the names that characterized the period. It was a time with a lot of character and a completely different FCK generation than the one that would later dominate Danish football.

The black design has over time gained cult status among FCK fans. Compared to the many white home shirts from the club's history, this away model has its very own expression, and original examples from the period are becoming increasingly difficult to find.

A strong collector's item for the FCK fan looking for the early and more distinctive models – with black design, Kinnarps sponsor, and pure 90s nostalgia.
