Shirts of this era were cut boxy: expect the chest to measure at or above the top of the band for its size. Compare pit-to-pit with a shirt you own rather than trusting the label.

How to measure

Lay the shirt flat and measure pit to pit (armpit to armpit) and collar to hem, then compare with the table. Between sizes, take the larger. Measurements are in centimetres, with 1–2 cm variation between pieces.

About this shirt

The Real Betis jacket from 1996/97. Sizes S-XXL. Worn in La Liga.

The first season with Ocaroil on the front, replacing Kelia — which makes this shirt easy to date even without the season label.

Track and bench jackets were made in much smaller runs than the playing shirt, and tend to carry the era's styling more obviously.

The home from the same season is listed separately, and we also hold the jacket shirt from 1997/98.

Real Betis in 1996/97

The 1997 Copa del Rey final season — lost 3–2 to Barcelona in extra time at the Bernabéu, in the era of Alfonso and Finidi George.

Real Betis in the archive

Home, away and third kits, plus goalkeeper shirts, kids kits, training wear and jackets, all listed by season. Green and white vertical stripes, one of the more distinctive home shirts in Spain. Our range spans 1976 to the current 2026/27 kits, which is a wider span than most mid-sized club ranges we hold. Retro seasons account for a little under a third of the stock. Kids kits are well represented here, alongside home, away and third shirts, goalkeeper, training wear and jackets. Each listing states the season.

Common questions

Which season is this Real Betis jacket from?

This is the 1996/97 jacket. The season is stated on every listing and on the order confirmation, so what arrives is the season named here, not a current substitute.

What size should I order?

Sizes run S-XXL. Measure pit to pit on a shirt you own and compare it with the chart above — between sizes, take the larger.

How quickly will it arrive?

Allow 7–14 days from order to delivery, everywhere. Standard tracked is £3.95, and orders over £30 ship free to every country. Everything is tracked, including international.

Will a retro shirt fit like a modern one?

No — shirts of this era were cut looser. A nineties Large sits closer to a modern Medium, which is why the flat measurements above matter more than the size on the label.
