This very rare, away shirt is in very good condition despite its age, however there are a couple defects; most notably: 2 small holes which have been pictured, and the red colouring of ‘M’ has now faded to a pale pink. The crest, embroidering, name and numbering print however remain in excellent condition.

Made in the Adidas ‘ClimaLite’ style of 2002, the dimensions do suggest that this shirt could comfortably fit a regular wearer of size XL 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. Moreover, this season began the relationship between Siemens Mobile, and Real Madrid; taking over from the club’s website, where their 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
