Light wear on the Fly Emirates sponsor: fine cracks in the navy of the letters, visible in macro on « Fly » and the start of « Emirates » (photo 6). Nothing else — no lifting letters. At normal distance the sponsor looks intact.

Shirt condition
Excellent condition
Excellent, apart from the light sponsor wear flagged above. The white is still clean, with no yellowing at the collar or underarms, and the navy side stripes are crisp along their whole length. The navy RONALDO No.7 nameset is complete and perfectly bonded, with the Real crest set at the foot of the 7. The gold FIFA World Champions 2016 patch is intact, with no flaking of the raised finish, and the LaLiga sleeve patch is firmly attached. Flawless colour embroidered crest, polo collar with no stretching and both white buttons present. No odour, washed and inspected in my workshop.

100% AUTHENTIC
✦ Authenticity guaranteed for life
Item checked by hand in my authentication workshop. If anything you buy from me is ever identified as a unofficial, I refund it in full. The guarantee never expires.
- Original Adidas label photographed (photo 4): production date 02/16, reference S94992 and internal code AV1004. S94992 is the exact reference of the 2016-2017 Real Madrid home shirt
- The FIFA World Champions patch is dated 2016 (photo 3): the Club World Cup badge won in Yokohama in December 2016. Its presence dates this shirt's configuration to the second half of the season
- The sleeve patch carries the new LaLiga logo (photo 1): the Spanish league dropped the « LFP » mark for the « LaLiga » identity in summer 2016. That detail alone separates this shirt from previous seasons
- The Real crest is printed inside the 7 (photo 5): a small crowned shield at the foot of the digit. That is the signature of the season's official nameset, and unofficial pieces stop at the bare number
- Real photos of the exact shirt you receive, never stock images — full method in my authentication guide
🛠️ Workshop note — The decisive check on this model is the polo collar. Look at photo 3: the button placket is lined and topstitched along its full height, with a navy trim visible on the inner facing, and both buttons are matte white, sewn through four holes. On unofficial pieces the placket is a simple unlined piece sewn on, and the buttons are shiny. Second point: the navy. On the original, side stripe, collar and nameset are exactly the same deep blue; on reproductions the nameset drifts towards royal blue while the collar stays dark.
📖 La Duodécima, and the 2017 double
This is the shirt of Real Madrid's best season of the decade: a Spanish league title and a twelfth European Cup, with Cristiano Ronaldo decisive to the very end.
🏆 La Duodécima, in Cardiff. On 3 June 2017 Real beat Juventus 4-1 in the Champions League final. Cristiano Ronaldo scored twice and the club became the first to retain the European title since 1990.
⭐ Spanish champions after a five-year wait. Real won the 2016-2017 league, their first domestic title since 2012, and completed the league-and-Champions-League double.
🌍 Club world champions 2016. In December 2016 in Yokohama, Real beat Kashima in extra time thanks to a Ronaldo hat-trick — which is why the gold patch is stitched on this shirt.
🎨 White, polo collar and navy — Adidas went back to pure white and a buttoned polo collar with navy trim, matched by fine navy side stripes. A classic, restrained cut that remains one of the most elegant Real home shirts of the Adidas era.

❓ Frequently asked questions about this shirt
Is the sponsor wear a problem?
No. They are fine cracks in the thickness of the navy print, on « Fly » and the start of « Emirates ». You need the macro in photo 6 to see them: at normal distance the sponsor looks intact, no letter is lifting and nothing will come off in the wash.
Why is the label dated February 2016?
Because that is the production date of the piece: the 2016-2017 home shirt (reference S94992) was made from early 2016. The FIFA World Champions 2016 patch, on the other hand, corresponds to the world title of December 2016, so this is the second-half-of-season configuration.
Is the RONALDO nameset original?
Yes, it is the season's official nameset, in navy, with the crowned Real crest printed at the foot of the 7 (photo 5). It is perfectly bonded, with no lifting corners and no cracking.
Is this shirt authentic?
Yes. Original Adidas label 02/16 with references S94992 and AV1004, raised gold FIFA patch dated 2016, new-logo LaLiga patch, nameset with built-in crest and lined polo collar with navy trim. Authenticity guaranteed for life.
How does this L fit?
Measured flat: 54 cm pit to pit and 75 cm long. A 2016 Adidas L, true to size and properly long. If you wear L it will sit perfectly; if you like a fitted look, take the M.
How much is shipping and how fast?
