Manchester City 2010-2011 Home Shirt - Tevez N°32 (L)

The sky blue is even, with no fading, and the white sleeve cuffs are clean. The embroidered crest and the Umbro diamond are intact, and the TEVEZ 32 printing and sleeve badges lie perfectly flat. Minimal wear: fine cracks on some letters of the Etihad sponsor, visible up close (photos 6 and 7).

Not sure about the size? This L measures 54 x 73 cm: compare with the flat measurements below, or check my size guide.

Flat measurements

City’s Umbro shirts from this era fit wide and fairly short. Lay a shirt that fits you well flat, measure it the same way and compare.

The essentials on this piece

The Etihad sponsor shows fine cracks on the E, the T and the bar of the H (photos 6 and 7). They are only visible up close and do not affect how the logo reads when worn.

Captain Tevez and the end of a 35-year wait

In summer 2009, Carlos Tevez crossed Manchester, moving from United to City. For the 2010-2011 season, Roberto Mancini handed him the captain’s armband.

He responded with 20 Premier League goals, level with Dimitar Berbatov at the top of the scoring chart. City finished third and qualified for the Champions League for the first time in their history.

14 May 2011: at Wembley, City beat Stoke 1-0 in the FA Cup final with a Yaya Touré goal. Tevez lifted the trophy, the club’s first major honour since the 1976 League Cup.

This sky blue home shirt, sponsored by Etihad, is the one from that pivotal season, just before the first league title of 2012.
