My Shirt Collection - A Thread:

let’s start off with the crown jewel of my collection. a 11/12 Barça home shirt, personally signed by the one and only...

“to Mikel from Leo Messi”

Barça 20/21 home shirt
Ansu Fati #22

it’s a beautiful, but bittersweet shirt to own seen how unfortunate his season has been... hopefully he recovers soon. can’t wait to see him back in action for us

Barça 20/21 away shirt
Riqui Puig #12

this one brings more good memories, like Riqui’s first LaLiga goal and our Copa del Rey comeback vs Granada

Barça 20/21 third shirt
Antoine Griezmann #7

honestly I can’t remember ever seeing Griezmann play in this shirt, but I had to get him on one of this season’s shirts after the incredible season he’s had.

Barça 20/21 4th shirt
Gerard Piqué #3

although it’s one of the best looking shirts we’ve had the past few years, it brings nothing but bad memories as we only wore it for the Clasico game which we lost. Geri didn’t even play and even got a yellow card on the bench...

Barça 19/20 home shirt
Riqui Puig #6

the first season where Riqui Puig was really implemented into the first team and was arguably our 2nd best player after Lionel Messi during that post-lockdown period.

Barça 19/20 away shirt
Frenkie de Jong #21

inspired by the 1970’s away design Barça used to have in the Cruyff era, I decided to get another Dutchman on the back seen as it was Frenkie’s first season here at Barça.

Barça 19/20 third shirt
Ansu Fati #31

another Ansu shirt, but with way better memories attached. this is from the season where he became the youngest ever UCL goalscorer after scoring against Inter Milan.

Barça 18/19 home shirt
Gerard Piqué #3

in my opinion, this was individually Piqué’s best ever season here at Barça. also a throwback to the last LaLiga title we won.

Barça 18/19 away shirt

the shirt I wore when watching us beat Atléti 2-0 at home back in April 2019 AND the shirt I wore when I met Riqui Puig a few days after

Barça 17/18 home shirt
Jordi Alba #18 (the shirt printing hasn’t arrived yet)

most of you know that I’m a big Jordi Alba fanboy, so I had to get one of his shirts in here aswell. brings back all the good memories of the Valverde era when we dominated LaLiga...

Barça 16/17 home shirt
Sergio Busquets #5 (the shirt printing hasn’t arrived yet)

this one carries a crazy amount of good memories even though we “only” won the Copa del Rey this season. like the 6-1 against PSG and the 3-2 Clasico.

Barça 15/16 home shirt
Luis Suárez #9 (the shirt printing hasn’t arrived yet)

Luis Suárez’s best ever season. outscored both Messi and Ronaldo to collect his 2nd Golden Boot and was in my opinion robbed off the Ballon d’Or this season.

Barça 14/15 home shirt (FINAL)
Lionel Messi #10

nothing but happy memories. his solo run against Bilbao, when he dropped Boateng and chipped Neuer, when we won the treble that season... good times, take me back.

Barça 12/13 home shirt
Andrés Iniesta #8

it was one of Don Andrés’ best seasons for us if not THE best, but more importantly, the 100 point season. per a Tito

Barça 11/12 home shirt
Dani Alves #2

the season where Daniel contributed to our Copa del Rey trophy, Supercopa de España trophy, UEFA Super Cup trophy AND the FIFA Club World Cup trophy.

Barça 10/11 home shirt (FINAL)
Lionel Messi #10

another classic shirt from our 2011 Champions League campaign where Lionel Messi ended up with 12 goals and 3 assists in 13 matches. 1 goal in the final and 2 in the semis.

Barça 10/11 away shirt
Pedro #17 (the shirt printing hasn’t arrived yet)

not many know this, but Pedro is one of my favorite players of all time. for me, undoubtedly the MOST underrated football player of all time. he has won everything there is and performed at every big stage.

Barça 09/10 home shirt
Zlatan Ibrahimović #9

although he fell out with Pep and was considered one of the biggest “what if’s” in Barça history, I still had to get this since it’s Zlatan. one of my favorite football personalities of all time.

Barça 08/09 home shirt (FINAL)
Xavier Hernández #6

my favorite midfielder of all time and the one and only, UEFA Champions League 2009 final man of the match. the key man in Barça’s treble winning season. made in La Masia.

Barça 08/09 away shirt
Andrés Iniesta #8

the king of Stamford Bridge.
nothing more needs to be said.

Barça 07/08 home shirt
Carles Puyol #5

THE captain. you can’t collect Barça shirts without having Tarzan on one of them. my 2nd favorite defender of all time after Gerard Piqué, and an instrumental player in our 06’, 09’ and 11’ Champions League titles.

Barça 06/07 home shirt
Lionel Messi #19

one of the most iconic Messi shirts. back when he was number 19 and scored a hattrick against Real Madrid at the age of only 19 years young...

Barça 05/06 home shirt (FINAL)
Ronaldinho Gaúcho #10

my favorite Barça shirt of all time with my 2nd favorite footballer ever after Lionel Messi. the man who got me into Barça and football in general when me (4 years old) and my dad were watching him play back then.

Barça 04/05 home shirt
Lionel Messi #30

a huge throwback to Lionel Messi’s first ever senior season here at Barça. probably my 2nd favorite Barça shirt ever after the 2005/2006 Ronaldinho one.

Barça 99/00 home shirt
Pep Guardiola #4

back when the greatest manager of all time was our captain and a crucial piece in our midfield. we unfortunately ended this season trophy-less...

Barça 98/99 home shirt
Rivaldo #11

this season we actually won a trophy thanks to our Brazilian number 11 and top scorer Rivaldo who scored 24 LaLiga goals to take us to the title.

Barça 97/98 home shirt
Giovanni #10

from one Brazilian to another. this time the 6’3 striker Giovanni Silva de Oliveira who played 107 games for us between 96-99.

Barça 95-97 home shirt
Ronaldo Nazário #9

one of the most beautiful shirts we’ve ever had and ANOTHER Brazilian who everyone knows. our top scorer in 96/97 with 47 goals across all competitions which took us to a Copa title, a Spanish Supercup title and a Cup Winners Cup title.

Barça 92-95 home shirt
Hristo Stoichkov #8

the Bulgarian GOAT. he stayed here for 2 periods (90-95 & 96-98) and scored 83 goals in 175 matches. I really wish we still had Kappa shirts. they’re all so beautiful.

Barça 89-92 home shirt
Ronald Koeman #4

we won 2 LaLiga, 1 Copa del Rey, 1 Supercopa de España, 2 Joan Gamper and most importantly, our first ever European Cup in this shirt with our current manager Ronald Koeman being the hero in the 1992 final.

Barça 89-92 away shirt
Michael Laudrup #9

arguably the best Scandinavian player we’ve had at this club along with Zlatan, Larsson and hopefully Erling Haaland soon.

Barça 82-89 home shirt
Diego Maradona #10

in my opinion the 3rd greatest footballer of all time after Messi and Ronaldo. 22 goals in 36 matches for our club along with his iconic brawl against Athletic Bilbao in 1984.

Barça 05/06 away shirt
Deco #20

the first Portuguese on the list, and a very important one aswell. he played 113 matches across 4 years for us and won 1 Champions League, 2 LaLiga and 3 Supercopa de España.

BVB 15/16 home shirt (match worn)
Marcel Schmelzer #29

this was worn back when BVB faced my local team Odds BK in a Europa League qualifier in 2016. it was given to me as a christmas present by Thomas Grøgaard (ex-Odd leftback and family friend of mine)

Odds BK 2019 home shirt (signed)
Torgeir Børven #22

the 2019 Norwegian league top scorer who pretty much carried us with his 21 goals and 4 assists in 30 matches that season. he’s now playing for Ankaragücü in Turkey where he has 10 goals in 18 starts.

Odds BK 2019 home shirt (match worn)
Espen Ruud #2

our beloved right back Espen Guud (God) and a club legend here at Odd gave me this after the last home game of our 2019 season.

Odds BK 2019 away shirt (signed)
Fredrik Nordkvelle #14

another club legend here at Odd, signed this for me a few days before announcing his retirement from professional football. one of our best ever midfielders at the club.

Odds BK 2020 home shirt (signed)
Birk Risa #5

unfortunately Birk left to Molde in the middle of last season, but since the he has had good performances in the Europa League against big clubs like Granada and Hoffenheim. one of the kindest footballers I know aswell.

Liverpool 19/20 home shirt
Sadio Mané #10

with 18 goals and 7 assists, Sadio was one of the most influential players in our first ever Premier League title. and yes, I support Liverpool aswell. they’re the team which most of my family members support and what I’ve grow up with.

Liverpool 18/19 home shirt

the UCL winning season shirt with my favorite Liverpool player, Mohamed Salah on the back.

Liverpool 16/17 home shirt
Daniel Sturridge #15 (the shirt printing hasn’t arrived yet)

one of my favorite ever Liverpool players both for his talent and personality. such a shame that he never got to fulfill his full potential due to all his injuries...

Liverpool 08-10 home shirt
Fernando Torres #9

El Niño... one of my biggest idols growing up and my 2nd favorite striker ever after Luis Suárez. he scored 39 goals and provided 11 assists in the 70 matches he played with this shirt.

Liverpool 06-08 home shirt
Steven Gerrard #8

my favorite ever Liverpool player. another one of those Ronaldinho, Torres and Xavi players that I really looked up to when I was little.

Liverpool 19/20 away shirt
Virgil van Dijk #4

it’s very simple, but in my opinion one of the cleanest away shirts New Balance ever gave us. and who else to put on the back than the man with the (in my opinion) most impressive individual season ever by a defender.

Liverpool 19/20 goalkeeper shirt
Alisson Becker #13

now this one is kinda unfortunate... I ordered it 2 days before it was announced that Ali would be given the number 1, still a beautiful shirt nonetheless though

Liverpool 17/18 third shirt
Roberto Firmino #9

it’s only 4 years old, but the nostalgia this shirt brings... the fantastic 4 with Bobby, Salah, Sadio and Phil... some of the most entertaining football Klopp ever played.

Liverpool 17/18 away shirt
Andrew Robertson #26

the best memory I have from this is the free kick Trent scored against Hoffenheim in our 1-2 away win in the UCL qualifiers.

Liverpool 03-05 away shirt

no one is on the back and I have no memories with this, I just got it as a gift way back. looks beautiful though.

Liverpool 18/19 away shirt
Xherdan Shaqiri #23

another person I’d put high on my list of underrated players along with Pedro. very likable character aswell. my best memory from this shirt is probably Salah’s solo goals against Southampton where he took it off.

Villarreal 19/20 home shirt
Santi Cazorla #8

one of my favorite ever players that haven’t played for any of my clubs. bought it when I went to the Cerámica in 2019 to watch them play against Alavés.

Arsenal 20/21 home shirt
Hector Bellerín #2

this may come as a surprise to some, but Hector is my favorite ever right back. a La Masia product and a great sports personality. I’ve got a soft spot for Arsenal aswell so that helps. beautiful shirt too.

Arsenal 15/16 home shirt
Alexis Sánchez #7

another Arsenal shirt (one of the best looking ones they’ve ever had in my opinion) and a huge throwback to when Alexis was in his prime... he was unstoppable.

Al Ahly 19/20 home shirt

I’ve had a lot of Egyptian friends who support them, so I started following them to see how they’re doing and ended up getting this. also, I love the 4 stars (indicating their 40+ league titles) above their badge. nice detail.

Juventus 18/19 home shirt
Cristiano Ronaldo #7

I don’t even like Cristiano that much, the transfer was just too iconic. that’s literally the only reason I have.

Bayern Münich 16/17 home shirt

got this outside the Allianz Arena when I visited Germany back in 2017. it used to have Renato Sanches #35 on the back, but the printing has worn off unfortunately.

Norway 18/19 home shirt
Joshua King #7

as a Norwegian, Joshua is probably the footballer I’ve looked the most up to while growing up. in 2019 I finally got to meet him after a Nations League match

Argentina 2018 WC home shirt
Lionel Messi #10

if it wasn’t for his wonder touch and deciding goal against Nigeria, this shirt would’ve probably gone down in the hall of shame section along with the 2021 Barça El Clasico shirt. still a beautiful design though.

Argentina 2021 Copa home shirt
Lionel Messi #10

had to get the shirt of the team I’m supporting in this Copa América as I’m just for Leo to finally get his international trophy.

Spain 2014 WC home shirt
Andrés Iniesta #6

this one definitely goes down as a hall of shame shirt as Spain got knocked out in the group stages of the World Cup...

Spain 2020 Euros home shirt
Sergio Ramos #15

I’ll always have Spain as my 2nd team after Norway, so I had to get this ahead of the Euros. also, will probably come as a surprise, but even though I’m a Culé I love Sergio Ramos. one of my favorite defenders of all time.

Colombia 90’ WC home shirt

I have no particular reason for this one, it just looks beautiful. the first picture I get in my head is of Carlos Valderrama with his big, blonde afro.

~ End of thread for now ~

I’ll keep updating it in the future when I get more shirts. hope you enjoyed!
