Vintage 1994 yellow and blue France 98 World Cup 'Michelin Man' football jersey
Promotional football jersey produced in advance of the france 98 world cup. It was made for the french tyre company michelin, a sponsor of the tournament, and features a two tone yellow and blue polyester body; largely yellow on the front with blue collar and one sleeve, with a more even mix of yellow and blue on the back. The jersey prominently features the company's mascot the michelin man (a 'man' made of tyres), with a small michelin man crest on the front and large michelin covering much of the surface of the back.
The jersey seems to have been produced some time before the tournament: according to the label it was made in 1994 to promote an event taking place in 1998.
I have five available, in three sizes: two Ms, two Ls, and one XL. All are in excellent condition, with faint (barely noticeable) wear to the back on one of the Ms. See measurements for each marked size below.
