Flawless condition
The navy pixel pattern has kept all its contrast, with no fading or pilling. The Herbalife Nutrition sponsor is complete and crack-free, the crest and adidas logo are intact, and the three white stripes on the sides are crisp. The IBRAHIMOVIĆ 9 printing lies perfectly flat. No flaws to report.

Note from the Workshop — On adidas shirts of this era, the inner label carries three lines: production date, model code, factory code. I cross-check code DP4836 against the Galaxy away model and make sure the date matches the shirt’s launch.
Zlatan in Hollywood
In March 2018, Zlatan Ibrahimović left Manchester United for LA Galaxy, the most decorated club in MLS. He took the number 9 and landed in a league that had never seen a striker of his calibre at the peak of his form.
31 March 2018: in his first game, against LAFC, he came off the bench, scored a volley from almost 40 metres and then the winner in a 4-3 victory, with the Galaxy having been 3-0 down.
This away shirt belongs to his second and final season in Los Angeles. In 2019 he scored 30 regular-season goals, a club record for a single season, and led the Galaxy into the playoffs.
The run ended in the conference semi-final against LAFC. In November 2019, Zlatan announced his departure and returned to Europe with AC Milan.
Frequently asked questions
Did Zlatan play in this model?
Yes, it is the away shirt from his 2019 season at the Galaxy, the 30-goal season. This shirt is a supporter version sold in stores, not a match-worn piece.
Why is there an MLS logo inside the 9?
In MLS, back numbers include the league’s small shield at the bottom of the digit. It is the font used by every club in the league during this period.
How can I check the shirt is authentic?
Start with the inner label: code DP4836 matches this model and the 12/18 date fits its early-2019 release. Then look at the embroidery of the crest and the adidas logo.
How does this L fit?
It measures 55 cm pit to pit and 79 cm in length. It fits true to size: if you wear an L, it will fit as expected, with a comfortable length.
How much is shipping and how long does it take?
Shipped within 24-48 h with tracking: €5.99 in France, €9.99 to the EU, free from €99.99. You have 14 days to send the shirt back if it doesn’t suit you. All the details in my shipping FAQ.
