A standout piece from Atlético Morelia’s 1997–98 Atlética era, featuring the club’s classic pre-Monarcas identity and a period #23 player number. Morelia’s 1997–98 kit range was produced by Atlética, and the club’s home colors that season incorporated the same red, yellow and white palette seen throughout these shorts.

The design is pure late-1990s Mexican football: a vivid red base framed by yellow-and-white piping, with repeating Atlética logos running down both outer legs. The traditional Atlético Morelia crest sits prominently on the front, while the opposite leg carries the oversized Atlética wordmark and a large yellow-outlined #23.

The number makes this pair especially interesting. Morelia’s documented #23 during the 1997–98 season was defender David Hernández, and contemporary squad records confirm him with that number. Because the shorts themselves don’t establish provenance, I wouldn’t advertise them as David Hernández match-worn or player-issued without additional documentation. But the period-correct #23 connection is absolutely worth mentioning in the description.

These are the kind of pieces that go beyond the usual vintage jersey. Original shorts from this era are much less commonly preserved and collected than shirts, and the combination of the old Atlético Morelia crest, Atlética taping and numbered configuration gives them a particularly strong late-90s Liga MX look.
