PSG 2019-2020 Away Long Sleeve – Icardi No.18 (L)

⚠️ Read this before buying

The inner neck label was cut out by a previous owner. There is therefore no readable product reference and no production date on this shirt, and I am not going to invent one. What remains is the composition label stitched into the side seam, with the Nike swoosh, visible in photo 5 but only partly legible.

It is an ordinary thing to do — thousands of people cut out the label that scratches their neck — but you should know. My authentication here rests on the construction, the embroidery and the nameset, all detailed below. It also explains the price: the same shirt with an intact label sells for more.

📐 Flat measurements

A straight, comfortable L without being oversized. Lay flat a shirt that fits you well, measure it the same way and compare — note that on a long-sleeve, sleeve length matters as much as width: message me and I'll measure it for you.

Infrared red is the hardest colour to preserve: it turns pinkish-orange as soon as a shirt has been through the machine too often. Here it is perfectly saturated, identical on the body and the sleeves — a sign it was washed properly, or barely worn. The black nameset has no cracking or lifting corners. The sleeve cuffs keep their elasticity, the black-trimmed V-neck is not stretched. Only reservation: the cut neck label flagged at the top — but that is a traceability point, not a condition defect.

Unsure about sizing? This L measures 55 x 75 cm: compare the flat measurements above, or read my sizing guide.

✦ Lifetime authenticity guarantee

Item checked by hand in my authentication workshop. If anything you buy from me is ever identified as a fake, I refund in full. No expiry date.

With no neck label, authentication runs through the garment itself. Here are the four points I checked:

• The LFP patches are built into the nameset digits, at the foot of the 1 and the 8 (photo 3). This detail only exists on official Ligue 1 namesets: it is printed in the same pass as the digit, not added afterwards. Copies omit it or stick it alongside
• The repeated "ICI C'EST PARIS" pattern inside the digits reads as full letters up close, with a fine red outline separating the black from the background. That is the 2019-2020 nameset, and it is expensive to reproduce properly
• The PSG crest is embroidered, not printed: sharp relief, Eiffel Tower and fleur-de-lys picked out in red thread on black. Run a finger over it and you feel the thread (photo 4)
• The Jumpman is printed in matte black on the red, with fingers and ball clearly separated. On fakes the silhouette is thickened and the outstretched arm merges into the body

📖 The red Paris wore for one season only

A PSG in bright red from head to toe, with a Jumpman on the chest instead of a swoosh. The partnership between the club and Michael Jordan's brand produced some of the most sought-after shirts of the decade, and this is one of them.

🏆 French champions 2019-2020. A season halted in April by the pandemic, with PSG crowned on the standings at the point of the stoppage.

🥈 Champions League runners-up. In August 2020 in Lisbon, PSG reached the first European final in their history and lost it 1-0 to Bayern. The beginning of a long wait.

🇦🇷 Mauro Icardi, No.18. Loaned from Inter Milan in September 2019, the Argentine scored freely from his first weeks in Paris and convinced the club to trigger the buy option. His spell was short — which makes his nameset rare.

👕 A long-sleeve version — long-sleeve shirts are produced in far smaller quantities than short-sleeve, and therefore vanish faster from the second-hand market.
