THE VITALS:

Team: AC Milan

Brand: Adidas

Era: 2008-09 (Used for the 2008-09 Serie A season)

Name/Number: -

CONDITION: GOOD

Despite its years, this shirt remains in good condition¸ regrettably however, the Bwin sponsor has faded away, leaving behind just an imprint of its former glory. Despite that, the material of the shirt shows minimal wear, and the Adidas embroidery and club crest are immaculate.

DIMENSIONS:

Size: Large

Pit to Pit Measurement: 22 inches

Shirt Length: 29 inches

Made in the ‘Clima 365’ style of Adidas ‘ClimaCool’ mould used for the 2008-09 season, these shirts were notoriously baggy, and consequently, I would suggest that this shirt would also fit a size XL by today’s standards.

DESCRIPTION: 

After a disappointing 2007-08 season that saw Milan miss out on Champions League football for the first time since the 2001-02 season; Carlo Ancelotti would be gifted with the return of Andriy Shevchenko, and the prized acquisition of Ronaldinho from Barcelona! After the previous season’s shirt emphasised more red, this offering was most certainly the antithesis; with black providing the backdrop of the and the sleeves, while four red stripes come down the body of the shirt.

The notable players that season were:

Andriy Shevchenko, Marco Boriello, Filippo Inzaghi, Alexandre Pato, Alberto Gilardino, Ronaldinho, Kaka, Clarence Seedorf, Mathieu Flamini, David Beckham, Andrea Pirlo, Gennaro Gattuso, Massimo Ambrosini, Cristian Brocchi, Emerson, Serginho, Kakha Kaladze, Giuseppe Pancaro, Paolo Maldini, Philippe Senderos, Alessandro Nesta, Luca Antonini, Matteo Darmian, Daniele Bonera, Giuseppe Favalli, Marek Jankulovski, Gianluca Zambrotta, Christian Abbiati, Dida
