The Sporting Clube de Portugal shirt in the 2002/2003 season
The new Sporting Clube de Portugal crest was definitely adopted in the Sporting shirts, the old one completely gone. With this, and until the 2011 2012 season, the Sporting jerseys of the main soccer team were in disagreement with the Club's statutes, that require that the SCP acronym be on top of the symbol. The football shirts of the Sporting football Academy kept the SCP during several years still, as did the shirts from other sports.
Reebok insisted on the previous year's bet on innovation, and the home jerseys are an evolution based on the previous season. The all white area that joins the shoulders with the armpits is kept, but more stylised and separated from the hoops by a black line, still breaking some stripes. On the other hand, in this Sporting shirt, the green stripes are not green stripes: each hoop is made of many finw lines, alternately green and black. Seen from afar, the overall effect is hoops of a very dark green. This shirt, not very "Sporting Lisbon", became however famous all over the world, because this was the season were Cristiano Ronaldo played with the main Sporting Lisbon football team, after six years in the Sporting football Academy and one season in the B team.
The Stromp shirt remaind very similar to the one from the previous year, with small changes, namely the application of thereebok brand.
The third shirt kept black as main colour, this time with details in orange-ish dark yellow on the shoulders.
The main sponsor did not change, this being the third season with the black PT square. On the back of the jerseys a second sponsor showed up, Banco Espiritio Santo (the Holy Ghost Bank in a literal translation).
For the last time in the decade, the Portugal champion patch was to be seen on the Sporting Lisbon shirts.
