THE VITALS:

Team: Spain

Brand: Adidas

Era: 2004-2005 (Used for the 2004 UEFA European Championships, and the 2006 FIFA World Cup Qualifying campaign)

Name/Number: -

CONDITION: EXCELLENT

For a shirt that is over 10 years old now, the condition is impeccable, with the only blemish being the crumpling on the sleeve where the Spanish flag is embroidered. Please note that the 3 stripes down the arm, are vinyl printed and not stitched, as per all Adidas shirts made during the 2004-05 era.

DIMENSIONS:

Size: Small

Pit to Pit Measurement: 19 inches

Shirt Length: 30 inches 

I would suggest that this shirt has a very relaxed fit, unlike many of the shirts that Adidas produced in their ‘ClimaCool’ series during this era; many of which were extremely baggy.

DESCRIPTION:

Favouring the ‘roja’ above all; Adidas opted to make the shirt as red as they could, neglecting many of the navy and yellow accents which characterised the earlier Spain shirts. Beautifully utilising the v-neck collar that Adidas employed during the 2004-06 era, this is one of Spain’s most underrated shirts by far.
