PEC Zwolle Leo Major 2025 Shirt
The PEC Zwolle 2025 limited edition shirt isn’t just a kit – it’s a tribute to courage, liberation, and identity. Designed to honor Leo Major, the Canadian hero who single-handedly liberated the city of Zwolle in 1945, this vintage-style football shirt blends history with bold, modern symbolism. But what makes it so special?
A Tribute 80 Years in the Making
On April 14, 1945, the city of Zwolle was freed from German occupation by a single man – Leo Major. His legendary solo mission saved countless lives and became one of the most heroic tales in WWII history. In 2025, exactly 80 years later, PEC Zwolle celebrates that legacy with a shirt unlike any other. The Leo Major Liberation Match is now a club tradition, and this year’s shirt was created to mark this emotional milestone in true nostalgic fashion.

Designed with Purpose
This shirt isn’t just visually striking – it’s symbolic. Inspired by the Distinguished Conduct Medal Leo Major received for bravery, the design features deep reds and silver tones, representing honor, resistance, and remembrance. The Zwolle city crest replaces the club badge on the chest, and subtle details on the back pay tribute to the fallen heroes of the Second World War.
It’s the kind of shirt that speaks volumes – not just to fans, but to anyone who values heritage. Just like other limited edition football shirts, it captures more than a moment – it captures meaning.

The Leo Major Liberation Match
Each season, PEC Zwolle dedicates one fixture to Leo Major. In 2025, the match against FC Twente marks not only the 80th anniversary of the city’s freedom, but also the first time Leo’s family from Canada will be present. Spectacle, emotion, and history all converge during this powerful event, and the shirt worn on that day becomes an instant collector’s dream.
