Shirt condition
Excellent condition
Shirt in excellent overall condition: the red and black stripes are still sharp, the embroidered crest and gold star are spotless, the Deulofeu No.7 nameset is clean. The only point to report is micro cracking on a few letters of the Fly Emirates sponsor, which I photographed close up for you (photos 6 and 7). No holes, no stains, no fading.

📖 2016-2017: the last season of a Milan about to change hands
This shirt belongs to a pivotal season. On the bench, Vincenzo Montella was trying to revive a rebuilding Milan; in the stands, everyone knew the club was about to change owners after thirty years of Berlusconi. And at the winter break, a 22-year-old Spanish winger arrived at San Siro.
📅 23 December 2016 — Supercoppa Italiana in Doha. Milan beat Juventus on penalties and won their first trophy since 2011. This season's shirt is the one of a club finally lifting its head again.
📅 January 2017 — Gerard Deulofeu arrives on loan. A La Masia graduate via Everton, the Catalan winger took the number 7 — Shevchenko's, Kaká's before him. A short half-season, which makes the Deulofeu nameset markedly rarer than average.
📅 April 2017 — the end of the Berlusconi era. Silvio Berlusconi sold the club after thirty years in charge, a period during which Milan won five European Cups. This shirt is the last of that era.
👑 Gerard Deulofeu — a pure La Masia product and Spain international, he took his dribbling from Everton to Barcelona, Milan to Watford and then Udinese. His half-season in Milan remains one of the most memorable spells of his career, and shirts carrying his name are few and far between.
❓ Frequently asked questions about this shirt
Is the shirt 100% authentic?
Yes. adidas AC Milan 2016-2017 authentication carried out in my workshop: original inner label with product code AP7964 dated 01/16 (photo 4), embroidered ACM 1899 crest, gold star, correct Serie A TIM patch and UEFA badge. Real photos of the exact item sold, lifetime authenticity guarantee.
What is the exact condition, and is there a flaw?
9/10. The only flaw is micro cracking on a few letters of the Fly Emirates sponsor, very discreet at normal viewing distance. I photographed it from two angles (photos 6 and 7) so you can judge for yourself. Everything else is spotless.
How does this shirt fit in size M?
Flat measurements: 52 cm pit to pit, 73 cm in length. adidas shirts from 2016 fit fairly close to the body. The safest approach is to measure a shirt you already wear and compare it with these figures.
What does the silver badge on the sleeve mean?
It is UEFA's Badge of Honour, worn by clubs that have won at least five European Champion Clubs' Cups / Champions Leagues. The number 7 matches AC Milan's total.
Why is a Deulofeu nameset rare?
Because Gerard Deulofeu only played half a season at Milan, on loan, from January to June 2017. The production window for shirts bearing his name was therefore very short, unlike namesets of players who stayed several years.
