This particular 1990 retro shirt was not in use for long. Players wore it only occasionally and in a limited number of matches, as at this time clubs rarely used the same design for an entire season. Yet, despite its brief appearance, it eventually gained an almost iconic status.

It was in this design that Dinamo’s players entered the 90’s. Notably wearing the kit at Maksimir where Dinamo defeated old rivals, Partizan, 2–1 in a fierce derby victory . The blue shirt, featuring white sleeves and a white lower section, was also reminiscent of a variation once used by the club under its earlier name, Građanski.
