Zbigniew Boniek – #10 Poland Jersey (1980)

Worn by Zbigniew Boniek in the 1980 international season, this #10 Poland jersey is emblematic of a crucial phase in both his career and in Polish football. At the time, Boniek was making waves in European football, catching the attention of clubs across the continent with his vision, agility, and goal-scoring ability. The number 10 on his back symbolized his central role in orchestrating Poland’s attack. The design follows the minimalist aesthetic of the time: a crisp white base with red accents on the sleeves and collar, embodying the Polish national flag. The badge of the Polish Football Association, featuring the crowned eagle, is proudly embroidered on the chest. Lightweight and breathable, this kit reflects the utilitarian yet classic style of early 1980s international football gear. This jersey holds historical value not only because of Boniek’s growing stature in international football at the time but also as a prelude to Poland’s impressive World Cup campaign in 1982. For collectors and enthusiasts, it’s a powerful tribute to a player who would go on to become one of Europe’s most influential footballers of the decade.
