Shirt condition
Excellent condition
The red is even, with no fading or pilling, and the vertical black dotted band is intact. The crest, the Jumpman and the Fly Emirates sponsor are sharp. One thing to note: a small mark of micro wear in the centre of the number 1, visible up close (photo 6). The rest of the printing is complete and lies flat.

Workshop note — The FA18 reference places this shirt in the first PSG x Jordan collection, the 2018-2019 one. I also check the dotted band, which must stay perfectly aligned from collar to hem, with no offset at the seams.
Buffon in Paris, a one-off season
In July 2018, after seventeen seasons at Juventus, Gianluigi Buffon signs a one-year deal with PSG. The 2006 world champion comes looking for the Champions League, the one trophy missing from his record.
That same season, the club launches its partnership with Jordan Brand. The Jumpman kits are reserved for the Champions League, goalkeeper included.
12 February 2019: Paris win 2-0 at Old Trafford in the round of 16 first leg against Manchester United.
6 March 2019: in the return leg, United win 3-1 at the Parc des Princes and go through. Buffon leaves Paris at the end of the season with the French league title.
