FEATURES: Classic blaugrana design featuring broad garnet and navy vertical stripes, embroidered FC Barcelona crest, yellow embroidered Nike Swoosh, LFP sleeve patch and extensive ventilated mesh construction through the sides, underarms and sleeves. Finished with the iconic yellowMESSI #30 nameset with dark edging and miniature FC Barcelona crests incorporated into the numbering. Used vintage condition with numerous small fabric pulls/catches and faint surface marks throughout, fading to the internal Total 90 neck print and care labels, light general fabric wear, some loose/irregular stitching around the lower hem, and minor fraying/wear around portions of the collar and internal seams. Nameset, Nike Swoosh and Barcelona crest remain notably well preserved.
COMMENTS: A particularly desirable shirt from Lionel Messi's 2004–05 debut season, when the young Argentine wore #30 as he began his senior Barcelona career. Barcelona won the La Liga title that season, while Messi made his first league and Champions League appearances and scored his first senior goal for the club.
