This vertical sky blue, black and white striped home kit represented Grêmio FBPA throughout the 1997 and 1998 domestic and continental seasons, made for every match hosted at the Olímpico Monumental in Porto Alegre.
This era is forever remembered as Ronaldinho Gaúcho’s first step into professional football. Still a teenager, he stepped onto the pitch in this very jersey for his official club debut, showcasing unmatched dribbling creativity and playful attacking flair that immediately caught the attention of fans across Brazil. He featured in Brasileirão fixtures, regional cup clashes and Copa Libertadores qualifiers, standing out in heated Gre-Nal derby battles against city rivals Internacional.
Grêmio fought closely for regional and national honours across those two campaigns, with Ronaldinho’s youthful brilliance becoming the biggest talking point for supporters, even when the team fell short of major championship trophies.
Long after he left for European top leagues, this striped Grêmio shirt remains a beloved vintage treasure. It holds the memory of Ronaldinho’s humble local origins before his legendary spells at Paris Saint-Germain and Barcelona, and stays a core piece for blokecore enthusiasts and retro football memorabilia collectors all over the world.
