AC Milan 1997-98 player shirt by Lotto believed to have been issued to Bogarde for the 1997-98 season.
After 3 years as a defensive stalwart for the great Ajax side that won the Champions League in '95 and reached the Final again the year after Bogarde moved to AC Milan in the summer of '97.
The centre back struggled to settle at the San Siro though and made only 3 Serie A and 1 Coppa Italia appearances before joining back up with his former mentor Louis van Gaal at Barcelona in January '98. This classic black third design was not worn to this specification in this season, it was only used once with an Astra sponsor in the second half of the campaign. This was the last season that Lotto manufactured kits for the club after 5 years with Adidas taking over in '98. Bogarde went on to pick up a La Liga and Copa del Rey double in this season at the Nou Camp while Milan slumped to a shock 10th place finish.
