THE VITALS:

Team: AC Milan

Brand: Adidas

Era: 2002-03 (Used for the 2002-03 Serie A season)

Name/Number: -

CONDITION: VERY GOOD

This classic shirt remains in fantastic shape in spite of its years! The felt sponsor, Adidas embroidery and club crest are in great stead, as is the majority of the mesh fascia of the shirt, however, with the territory does come a few tears to the mesh netting, and some general wear and tear.

DIMENSIONS:

Size: Medium

Pit to Pit Measurement: 22 inches

Shirt Length: 29.5 inches

Made in the mould of the 2002-03 Adidas ‘ClimaLite’ range; although medium in label, this shirt would likely be better off as a size large by today’s standards.

DESCRIPTION: 

Carlo Ancelotti in his second season at the AC Milan helm saw his squad reinforced by the likes of: Andrea Pirlo, Alessandro Nesta, Rivaldo, Clarence Seedorf and Jon Dahl Tomasson as the club looked to re-establish themselves as one of the premier footballing clubs in the world. The results were spectacular, as the club finished 3^rd in Serie A, but more importantly, won their first UEFA Champions League title since 1994; defeating Juventus by penalties in the Old Trafford finale! After the 2000-02 shirt leant heavily on black, the 2002-03 shirt was a unique shirt that brought more of the red back into the ‘Rossoneri’. The defining feature was no doubt the mesh fascia that addressed the body of the shirt, which in effect, created a shirt that was more red and dark brown than it was black! Nevertheless, this shirt remains one of the seminal AC Milan shirts of the 21^st century!

The notable players that season were:

Rivaldo, Andriy Shevchenko, Filippo Inzaghi, Jon Dahl Tomasson, Marco Borriello, Leonardo, Clarence Seedorf, Rui Costa, Andrea Pirlo, Gennaro Gattuso, Massimo Ambrosini, Fernando Rendondo, Ibrahim Ba, Christian Brocchi, Serginho, Kakha Kaladze, Giuseppe Pancaro, Alessandro Costacurta, Cafu, Martin Laursen, Dario Simic, Paolo Maldini, Roque Junior, Alessandro Nesta, Christian Abbiati, Dida
