The design is the classic and timeless blaugrana vertical stripes with a polo collar, embroidered FCB crest and applied Meyba logo. The internal label bears the words Homologat F.C. Barcelona, certification of an official product approved by the club. The back is personalized with the number 8 in the vertical striped font characteristic of the era. A specimen in Good condition that, despite the forty-four years since its production, retains its historical identity and the unmistakable charm of 1980s football.

The player: Josep Moratalla

Josep Moratalla was a Spanish midfielder who played for FC Barcelona in the 1981/1982 season with the number 8. In that season, Barcelona's squad included champions of the calibre of Diego Armando Maradona, Bernd Schuster, Allan Simonsen and Quini, protagonists of one of the most fascinating periods in blaugrana history. Moratalla's number 8 jersey is an authentic document of that legendary squad and the season that preceded the Maradona era at its peak at Camp Nou.

What is a Player Issued jersey?

A Player Issued jersey is a kit prepared specifically for a specific player but not necessarily worn in an official match. It differs from the commercial version due to its professional finishes, match-grade cut and materials, and exclusive technical details reserved for team supply. In this case, the internal Homologat F.C. Barcelona label confirms the official origin and direct approval of the club. For collectors, it represents an authentic piece of very high value, practically unobtainable on the market more than forty years after its production.
