Shirt condition

Mint condition

No flaws. The white has not yellowed, neither at the underarms nor at the collar — the first thing I check on a light shirt of this age. The hexagonal shoulder pattern is perfectly crisp, with no flattened areas and no bleed between the grey and dark green dots. The Chevrolet logo, printed in raised chrome and gold, has no cracking at all — by far the most fragile part of this shirt. The IBRAHIMOVIĆ 9 print is flawless, accent included. Embroidered crest intact, Europa League and RESPECT patches perfectly bonded, dark green V-neck with no stretching, no pilling.

100% AUTHENTIC

✦ Authenticity guaranteed for life

Item checked by hand in my authentication workshop. If an item bought from me is ever identified as a counterfeit, I refund it in full. Guarantee with no expiry date.

  • Inner label photographed (photo 4): adidas reference AI6690 and production date 10/16. October 2016, right in the middle of the 2016-2017 season: the two line up
  • The hexagonal shoulder pattern is dyed into the knit, not screen-printed: it reappears as a faded negative on the reverse, and the fabric stays as soft as everywhere else. On a fake, the shoulders go stiff
  • The crest is embroidered onto an applied textile base (photo 3): the red devil, the trident and the scalloped border are in relief, with a perfectly even white outline
  • The Chevrolet logo is a multi-layer transfer with chrome and gold effects: you can make out the metallic gradient and the honeycomb texture inside the bowtie. Copies print a flat yellow shape
  • Real photos of the exact item sold, never stock images — full method in my authentication guide

🛠️ Workshop note — Look at the end of the name in photo 5: it really is a “Ć” with an acute accent, not a bare C. Redone prints systematically drop this Bosnian character — it is my first check on this player. Then zoom in on the base of the 9: the Manchester United crest is printed there in miniature, devil included, in white on the dark green. Two markers that only exist together on official printing from that season.

📖 Zlatan, Mourinho and the Europa League

2016-2017 is a season apart at Old Trafford: a new manager, a 35-year-old striker signed on a free, and a European trophy the club had never won.

🏆 Europa League winners in 2017. United beat Ajax in the Stockholm final and won the one major European competition missing from their honours list. The patch on this shirt's sleeve comes from that campaign.

⚡ The Zlatan season. Signed on a free from PSG at 35, Ibrahimović finished as the club's top scorer with 28 goals in all competitions, before a serious knee injury in April 2017.

📅 José Mourinho's first season. He arrived in the summer of 2016 and won three trophies in his first year: Community Shield, EFL Cup and Europa League.

🎨 A white and dark green third — a long way from the usual red and black, with hexagonal shoulders adidas never used again. One of the most recognisable shirts of the period.

🎯 Who is this shirt for?

← Swipe →

01

The Zlatan fan

His first season at United, the one with 28 goals at 35. The most sought-after 9 of that period.

02

The trophy collector

The Europa League patch from the season United finally won that competition, in Stockholm.

03

The design lover

White and dark green with honeycomb shoulders: a third United has never revisited.

04

The condition purist

10/10 on a white 2016 shirt with the chrome Chevrolet logo intact: rare, and it does not last.

❓ Frequently asked questions about this shirt

Is the Chevrolet logo cracked?

No, and it is the most important point on this shirt. The Chevrolet bowtie is a multi-layer chrome and gold transfer: it is always the first thing to crack in the wash. Here it is intact, with no micro-fissures at all. Wash at 30 °C inside out to keep it that way.

Why the Europa League patch and not Champions League?

Because United played in the Europa League that season — and won it. The patch therefore identifies the European-night version of 2016-2017. The Premier League version of the same shirt carries the purple lion patches instead.

Has the white yellowed?

No. No yellowing at the underarms, no ring at the collar, no greyish patches. The white is even across the whole surface, including around the hexagonal shoulder pattern. The photos show the exact item sold.

Is this shirt authentic?

Yes. adidas label referenced AI6690 and dated 10/16, shoulder pattern dyed into the knit, embroidered crest in relief, multi-layer Chevrolet transfer, official UEFA patches and printing with the Bosnian accent and a miniature crest. Lifetime authenticity guarantee, full refund if a doubt is ever proven.

How does this S fit?

Measured flat: 48 cm pit to pit and 71 cm long. A 2016 adidas S, fitted like that whole generation. If you wear a S and prefer a roomier fit, size up.

How much is shipping and how long does it take?

Shipped within 48 working hours with Colissimo tracking (€5.99 in mainland France, free over €100). International rates and delivery times are detailed in my shipping FAQ. Returns accepted within 14 days if unworn.
