This jersey from the 1979-80 season was given by MoDo to Lieutenant General Dick Stenberg, Chief of the Swedish Air Force from 1973 to 1982. Stenberg in turn donated it to the museum. The Swedish Air Force (Flygvapnet) was a sponsor of MoDo from 1979 to 1985, which is reflected in the design of the jersey. The front sports the club crest in the form of a wing, and the sleeves sports the coat of arms of the Air Force.
