CONDITION: GOOD

This particular shirt still remains in very wearable condition, although questions must be asked about the legitimacy of the top, given that the name and numbering, and sponsor are not a printed decal, and as a consequence, this has been reflected in the price.

Pit to Pit Measurement: 23.5 inches

Shirt Length: 32 inches

Made in the Adidas ‘ClimaLite’ style of 2002, the dimensions suggest that this shirt could possibly fit a regular wearer of size XXL today.

DESCRIPTION:

After capping the first half of their centenary year with their 9^th UEFA Champions League win, Adidas continued to honour the 100^th year celebration of Real Madrid’s existence as a footballing institution, by releasing 2 home shirts ahead of the 2002-03 season. This special edition was released without the 3 stripes on the stripe, thus creating an all-white masterpiece; almost a throwback to an era long gone by. Used most notably during the 2 ‘El Clasico’, and Madrid derbies that season; ‘Los Blancos’ remained undefeated in those 4 games against their most fierce domestic rivals that season. Moreover, this season began the relationship between Siemens Mobile, and Real Madrid; taking over from the club’s website, whose URL was emblazoned on the 2001-02 shirt.

The notable players that season were:

Ronaldo, Raul, Fernando Morientes, Figo, Zinedine Zidane, Santi Solari, Guti, Steve McManaman, Albert Celades, Claude Makelele, Flavio Conceicao, Esteban Cambiaso, Santi Solari, Roberto Carlos, Ivan Helguera, Hierro, Michel Salgado, Pavon, Iker Casillas, Cesar
