The green and white hoops are crisp, the white has not yellowed and the polo collar is still firm. Only one point to flag: a tiny beige spot on a white hoop at the bottom of the shirt (photo 6), barely visible and likely to come out in the wash. Hence the 9/10 rating.

100% AUTHENTIC
✦ Lifetime authenticity guarantee
Checked by hand in my authentication workshop. If a piece bought from me ever turned out not to be authentic, I refund it in full. A guarantee with no expiry: only original pieces, never modern reissues.
Sporting crest: gold lion, SPORTING and PORTUGAL lettering and silver outline embroidered, green SCP monogram embroidered above (photo 3)
Macron label: multilingual care label sewn into the side seam (photo 4)
Macron markings: logo on the chest and shoulders, MPerformance System print at the hem (photo 2)
Cut and finish: white polo collar with placket, Sporting C.P. lettering below the nape, green ribbed cuffs (photos 1 and 2)
Workshop note — The first detail I look at on this model is the SCP monogram embroidered above the crest: thick letters, tight stitches, no loose thread. There is no readable product code on the Macron label, so I rely on the embroidery and the finish. The name and number were applied in my workshop: I never use them as proof.
Sporting 2015-2016, back at the top
Summer 2015: Jorge Jesus left Benfica for their Lisbon rivals. His first official match went well, as Sporting beat Benfica 1-0 in the Portuguese Super Cup in August.
A title lost by two points. Sporting finished the league on 86 points, their best tally at the time, but Benfica ended two points ahead.
Gelson Martins breaks through. A product of the Alcochete academy, the winger launched his first-team career that season, in a squad driven by Islam Slimani's goals.
The GELSON 60 name and number were applied in my workshop. I never count them among the proofs of authenticity: those relate to the shirt only.
Why is there no sponsor on the front?
This example was produced without a chest sponsor. The shirt is exactly as I received it, nothing has been removed.
Is the tiny spot a problem?
No: it is a beige dot of a few millimetres on a white hoop, at the bottom of the shirt (photo 6). It should come out in the wash.
How does this M fit?
True to size, rather close to the body: 48 cm pit to pit and 74 cm long. If in doubt, compare with a shirt you already wear.
How much is shipping and how long does it take?
Shipped within 24-48 h with tracking: €5.99 in France, €9.99 to the EU, free from €99.99. You have 14 days to return the shirt if it does not suit you. All the details in my shipping FAQ.
