Story of the shirt:

These incredibly rare Barça player issue shirts – sourced from the youth team kit room – feature the professionally heat-pressed washing instructions on the inside (see photos) and the official nameset print of various different squad numbers. Not to be slept on!!

This shirt was worn by Barça in the 12/13 season, the first 'post-Pep' campaign after he declined to renew his contract at the end of 11/12. The start of a new era for the club is perhaps reflected in the daring design, dispensing altogether with the famous stripes and opting instead for a distinctive fade. Meanwhile, central midfield maestro Xavi was incredibly playing in his 15th consecutive season for the club during 12/13, and was also named in the FIFA World XI that year for the 6th year in a row. Legend.
