THE VITALS:

Team: Chelsea

Brand: Umbro

Era: 2003-05 (Used during the 2003-04 & 2004-05 Barclaycard Premiership seasons, and the 2005 Carling Cup Final)

Name/Number: Veron #20

CONDITION: GOOD

I am not expecting anybody to be wearing this to play in and with that being said, this shirt would make an excellent collector’s item. Given the age of the shirt, the condition is more than respectable, please bear in mind some of the numbering on the back has worn a bit.

DIMENSIONS:

Size: Large

Pit to Pit Measurement: 23 inches

Shirt Length: 29.5 inches 

As was the case with many shirts that were made in the early to mid-2000's, the fit is quite baggy and therefore, while this is a size large; I have no doubt that this shirt could easily fit somebody who regularly wears size XL.

DESCRIPTION:

This shirt is a true collector’s item; extremely rare to find these days; this decade plus old shirt not only features old 'Barclaycard Premiership' logos on the arms, but is also adorned with signatures from various members of the Chelsea team who featured during the 2003-04 season. This shirt would be the only Chelsea shirt of the Umbro era to utilise a v-neck collar, after years of hoop neck, and regular collared shirts.

The notable players that season(s) were:

Hernan Crespo, Mateja Kezman, Adrian Mutu, Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink, Didier Drogba, Eidur Gudjohnsen, Arjen Robben, Jesper Gronkjaer, Frank Lampard, Claude Makelele, Juan Sebastian Veron, Joe Cole, Damien Duff, Scott Parker, Tiago, Geremi, Emmanuel Petit, John Terry, Marcel Desailly, Ricardo Carvalho, William Gallas, Glen Johnson, Wayne Bridge, Mario Melchiot, Paulo Ferreira, Petr Cech, Carlo Cudicini
