8/10
Shirt condition
Very good condition
Let's be straight: this is a white shirt from 2016, and white forgives nothing. It carries a few greyish marks on the front — one near the swoosh (photo 6), one more diffuse below the collar (photo 7). These are wear marks, not sharp stains, and they are invisible at wearing distance. On the other hand: no holes, no tears, the Di María printing is perfectly intact, the UCL and RESPECT patches are crisp, crest and swoosh flawless. The price reflects those marks.

🛠️ Workshop note — Champions League patches are not applied at random: they indicate a European match configuration. Many sellers add them wrongly to domestic-league shirts. Here the placement and finish are correct.
📖 2016-2017: PSG's season of extremes
This off-white third with its orange swoosh is one of the most elegant shirts of the Nike era in Paris. It belongs to a season nobody has forgotten: the club's greatest night and its worst nightmare, three weeks apart.
📅 14 February 2017 — PSG 4-0 FC Barcelona, round of 16 first leg. The greatest European night at the Parc des Princes. Di María scored twice, including a free kick that became legend. The whole world thought Paris were through.
📅 8 March 2017 — Barça 6-1 PSG, the Remontada. The return leg at the Camp Nou became the most famous elimination in the competition's history. This shirt belongs to that European campaign — the one people still talk about.
📅 27 May 2017 — PSG 1-0 Angers, Coupe de France final. Denied the Ligue 1 title (taken by Monaco), Paris rescued the season with the Coupe de France, the League Cup and the Trophée des Champions.
👑 Ángel Di María — signed from Manchester United in summer 2015, "El Fideo" spent seven seasons in Paris and left in 2022 as one of the most decisive players in the club's recent history and its all-time assist record holder. His No.11 is one of the most sought-after printings of the period.
❓ Frequently asked questions about this shirt
Will the marks on the front wash out?
I won't promise that, which is exactly why I show them close-up (photos 6 and 7). The shirt has already been washed: what remains is a light greying of the fabric, typical of a white shirt from 2016. A gentle 30° wash may fade it further, but I'd rather sell by announcing the worst than promising the best.
Is this PSG shirt authentic?
Yes. The Nike label photographed (photo 4) carries reference 776919-102, size XL, matching the PSG 2016-2017 third. Add the high-definition heat-applied crest, the embroidered iridescent orange swoosh, the "ICI C'EST PARIS" collar and the correct UEFA patches. Lifetime authenticity guarantee.
What do the sleeve patches mean?
The starball is the official UEFA Champions League badge; the navy "RESPECT" patch sits on the other sleeve. This is the configuration worn in European competition, not in Ligue 1 — and it is the version collectors look for.
Is the Di María printing official?
It uses PSG's official font from that period, with the small club crests built into the base of the digits and the accent on the "Í" of MARÍA (photo 5). Exactly the period look.
How does this XL fit?
Measured flat: 60 cm pit to pit, 78 cm long. A comfortable XL, slightly long. If you wear a L and like a relaxed or streetwear fit, it works very well.
How much is shipping and how fast?
