CRACOVIA 5h

Cracovia announced that its third set of uniforms commemorated St. John Paul II, whom the club described as a special supporter of the Pasy. The light blue color was meant to reference the waters of Zakrzówek, where Karol Wojtyła worked in a quarry between 1940 and 1941. On the back of the shirts, there was an inscription that read "Holy Father, your Cracovia remembers you," and the number 1 on the personalization was meant to symbolize the Pope's reserved number. The club stated that the players were to wear these uniforms during the match against Legia Warsaw, the day after the celebration of October 16, Pope John Paul II Day, which commemorates the anniversary of Karol Wojtyła's election as pope. Cracovia emphasized that it would only wear jerseys dedicated to John Paul II on this occasion. https://t.co/HnwKNitomA #Cracovia #śwJanPawełII #kibice (translated)
