Excellent condition
Overall excellent condition. Only one point to note: very light wear with a small discolouration on the back «Ronaldinho 10» print (visible in photo 1) — the rest of the shirt, crest and Unicef sponsor included, is flawless.

📖 2007-2008: Ronaldinho's last summer at Barça
This home shirt carries a detail few collectors notice at first glance: the «Camp Nou 1957-2007» commemorative crest, embroidered to mark the 50th anniversary of the Barcelona stadium, inaugurated on 24 September 1957. A special edition, worn for a single season.
💛 The Unicef sponsor, a world first. From 2006 to 2011, FC Barcelona became the first major club to display a sponsor on its shirt — but by paying, in a complete reversal of the usual model: around €1.5 million a year paid to Unicef, rather than the other way round. This 2007-2008 shirt carries that unique symbol in the history of sports sponsorship.
📅 The 2007-2008 season — the end of a cycle. Under Frank Rijkaard, Barça finished 3rd in La Liga, a disappointing season after the title wins of 2005 and 2006. It was Ronaldinho's last full season at the club: his fitness declining, he left Barcelona for AC Milan in the summer of 2008, handing the armband and the number 10 to a 20-year-old named Lionel Messi.
👑 Ronaldinho — signed from PSG in 2003, two-time Ballon d'Or and FIFA World Player of the Year winner (2004-2005), a key figure in the 2006 Champions League triumph and two La Liga titles (2005, 2006). This piece from his last full season in the blaugrana shirt, carrying both the Camp Nou 50th anniversary crest and the inaugural Unicef sponsor, brings together two historic symbols rarely found on the same shirt.
❓ Frequently asked questions about this shirt
Is the shirt 100% authentic?
Yes. 2007 Nike authentication carried out in my workshop: original «Made in Portugal» label (photo 4), embroidered Camp Nou 50th anniversary crest, LFP patch, Unicef sponsor printed as per the period. Real photos of the exact item sold, lifetime authenticity guarantee.
Why is the sponsor «Unicef» and not a brand?
Between 2006 and 2011, FC Barcelona reversed the usual model: instead of being paid by a sponsor, the club paid around €1.5 million a year to Unicef to display its logo — a first in professional sport, and still unique in the club's history.
What does the «Camp Nou 1957-2007» crest mean?
It celebrates the 50th anniversary of FC Barcelona's stadium, inaugurated on 24 September 1957. This commemorative crest was only embroidered on the shirt during the 2007-2008 season, making it a dated detail that can never be reproduced identically.
How does this 2007 Nike shirt fit in size XL?
Mid-2000s Nike shirts run generously, a looser cut than today's «stadium» fits. An XL from this era often corresponds to a modern L/XL. More details in my size guide.
