Ruud Gullit has been one of the most elegant and fascinating players ever watched on a pitch: for his elegance and stateliness, he earned the nickname of the Black Tulipan when he moved to Milan in 1987. Inspired by this essence of style, Jason Lee - aka Losdejos, along with his brand FOKOHAELA - designed the tribute jersey Tulipano Nero, just some day after Gullit's 55th birthday.
The jersey recalls one of the most original jerseys ever made: the Holland national team kit for Euro 1988 designed by adidas when their Oranje won the only international trophy. The original jersey has a geometric fantasy with a light orange colorway, the Tulipano Nero instead is darker, with a denim effect that exalts the orange color of the geometric figures' sides and all the details of the jersey, especially the astonishing vintage Lion crest.
