Sweden 2010 Home Shirt - Ibrahimović #10 (XL)

I couldn't find anything to fault. The yellow is bright and even with no dullness, the tone-on-tone stripes in the fabric are regular, and the crest and Umbro logo are flawless. The blue V-neck and cuffs are not stretched, and the blue side piping is clean from top to bottom.

Unsure about the size? This XL measures 60 x 77 cm: compare with the flat measurements below, or check my size guide.

Flat measurements

An Umbro XL that is wide in the chest, with a rather short length for the size. Lay a shirt that fits you well flat, measure it the same way and compare.

Zlatan and the Blågult

In 2010, Sweden missed the World Cup in South Africa. Umbro then launched its Tailored by Umbro line, and it was in this yellow shirt that the Blågult set off again in pursuit of a major tournament, built around Zlatan Ibrahimović.

2010-2011: Ibrahimović leaves Barcelona for AC Milan, with whom he wins the Scudetto in May 2011.

October 2011: Sweden beat the Netherlands 3-2 and qualify for Euro 2012 as the best group runner-up.

Sweden's all-time top scorer with 62 goals, Ibrahimović remains inseparable from the yellow and blue 10.
