Santos 1997 Home Shirt

Description

Home shirt worn by Santos during the 1997 season.

The shirt features a clean white base, staying true to Santos’ traditional and elegant identity. A white collar with a thin black stripe around the edge adds a subtle contrast, giving the shirt a refined and classic finish without taking away from its minimalist design. The overall look is simple, timeless, and unmistakably Santos, reflecting the club’s historic all-white aesthetic.

The 1997 season was a significant one for Santos, as the club ended a long wait for silverware by winning the Torneio Rio-São Paulo, their first major trophy in over a decade. Under the management of Vanderlei Luxemburgo, Santos defeated Flamengo in a two-legged final, winning 2–1 at home and securing the title with a 2–2 draw away.

Domestically, Santos remained competitive across multiple competitions. They finished 7th in the Campeonato Brasileiro, reaching the second phase, and secured 3rd place in the Campeonato Paulista. The team also competed in the Copa do Brasil, Supercopa Libertadores, and Copa dos Campeões, gaining valuable experience despite not advancing deep in those tournaments.

The squad featured key attacking contributors such as Macedo, who finished as the club’s top scorer with 19 goals across all competitions, and Müller, who made an immediate impact after joining during the season and led the team’s scoring in the national league.

This shirt is remembered as part of a successful and revitalising period for Santos, symbolising a return to winning ways while maintaining the club’s classic and elegant football identity.

Washing Instructions

Care Instructions To keep your shirt looking its best for years to come, please follow these guidelines carefully.

🌡️ Temperature

Wash at 30°C maximum. Higher temperatures can damage the fabric, fade colours, and crack printed lettering.

🔄 Cycle

Use a gentle or delicate cycle only. Avoid heavy spin cycles which can distort the shirt shape.

👕 Inside Out

Always turn the shirt inside out before washing to protect the back print, badges, and any embroidery.

🧴 Detergent

Use a mild liquid detergent. Avoid powder detergents, bleach, or fabric softeners as these can degrade print quality.

💨 Drying

Air dry only — lay flat or hang away from direct sunlight. Do not tumble dry as heat will shrink fabric and damage prints.

🔥 Ironing

Do not iron directly over printed areas or badges. If needed, iron on the reverse side only using a low heat setting.

Do not dry clean. Do not wring or twist. Wash separately from items with zips or rough textures that could snag the fabric.

⚠️ Back Print & Badge Care Printed names, numbers, and woven badges are particularly sensitive to heat and abrasion. Always wash inside out, never iron over them directly, and avoid contact with rough surfaces during washing.
