Presented is a 1984-85 Republic of Ireland National Team home jersey match-worn by the celebrated striker Frank Stapleton and preserved in the Oscar Collection.
The short-sleeve jersey is constructed in O'Neills bright green heavy cotton — the Irish manufacturer being the supplier of choice for the national team during this era — featuring a white V-neck collar and white two-stripe detailing along the shoulders. The left chest bears the embroidered Football Association of Ireland (FAI) badge — a classic shield-shaped design featuring three green shamrocks on a white background, one of international football's most recognizable and charming national crests. The O'Neills maker's label is visible at the collar interior. The reverse displays a bold applied white "#9" numeral in a large format consistent with Irish national team jerseys of the mid-1980s, with some ink aging visible in the application.
The jersey presents with genuine match wear including substantial fabric softening, light soiling, and general patina consistent with mid-1980s match use and laundering. Frank Stapleton was one of Ireland's greatest ever strikers, having starred for Arsenal and Manchester United at the highest level, and was a central figure in the Republic's growing international profile under manager Eoin Hand. From the Oscar Collection with direct provenance.
The Oscar Bernardi Collection
This shirt comes from the personal collection of José Oscar Bernardi, better known as Oscar, who played for the Brazil National Team from 1977 to 1986. Included is a letter of provenance signed by Oscar. Most jerseys in the collection were obtained directly through player swaps after competition. Others were acquired via gifts or trade with footballers in Oscar’s wide network of teammates and friends. At age 71, he still resides in Brazil and is ready for his collection to be appreciated by others in the hobby.
