A special surprise awaited passengers on Aegean Airlines flight A3720 on the Athens–Lisbon route. On every seat of the aircraft had been placed a white Greek national team shirt, the iconic design representing one of the greatest moments in the history of Greek football.
A special surprise awaited passengers on Aegean Airlines flight A3720 on the Athens–Lisbon route. On every seat of the aircraft had been placed a white Greek national team shirt, the iconic design representing one of the greatest moments in the history of Greek football.
The initiative was organized in collaboration between Adidas, Aegean Airlines and the Hellenic Football Federation (EPO), on the occasion of the federation’s 100th anniversary and the official launch on the market of the recreated version of the famous shirt.
The choice of destination was no coincidence at all. Lisbon is the city where Greece wrote history in 2004, defeating Portugal in the European Championship final and winning the continental trophy for the first time. It was precisely to that capital that the aircraft carrying the passengers was headed, symbolically recreating the journey toward the historic triumph of the team managed by Otto Rehhagel.
In addition to the shirts, travelers also received commemorative gifts featuring common elements of the three organizers of this initiative.
The recreated shirt is a faithful copy of the design worn by the Greek players in 2004. It preserves the characteristic wide cut of the early 2000s, the blue details on the shoulders and the federation’s retro crest.
