About Real Sociedad

Real Sociedad are the beating heart of Basque football in the Spanish province of Gipuzkoa, a club from the coastal city of San Sebastian that has long stood as a proud symbol of Basque identity and footballing excellence. Their blue and white vertical striped shirt is one of La Liga's most elegant looks, and the club's back-to-back La Liga titles in 1981 and 1982 remain a defining chapter in Spanish football history.

Founded in 1909 and based in San Sebastian (Donostia), Basque Country, Spain, the club play at the Reale Arena. Their honours include 2 La Liga titles (1981, 1982) and 2 Copa del Rey wins (1909, 1987). Nicknamed La Real, they compete in La Liga, the top division of Spanish football.

The blue and white vertical stripes of Real Sociedad are among La Liga's most distinguished looks. Clean, elegant, and consistent across decades, the striped shirt reflects the pride of San Sebastian and the Basque Country. The kits worn during the back-to-back title seasons of 1981 and 1982 are among the most treasured in Basque football history. More recently Macron has supplied the kits, producing clean modern iterations of the classic stripe that have graced Europa League and Champions League nights at the Reale Arena.
