Barcelona Away Jersey 2011/12 – Messi – N.10 – Store – Nike – Qatar Foundation – Replica Name and Number

Lionel Messi's Barcelona Away Jersey 2011/12

FC Barcelona's away kit for the 2011/2012 season is an iconic heirloom from the Blaugrana's golden era, linked to the season in which the club won the FIFA Club World Cup. Made by Nike with Dri-FIT technology, it features the unmistakable black base with yellow and gold accents on the Nike swoosh and club crest. The historic Barça crest and Qatar Foundation sponsor in yellow stand out on the chest, while the official La Liga (LFP) patch is applied to the sleeve. The UNICEF logo appears on the back, below the number. Inside the collar is the famous motto "més que un club". This size L example is an original store item from that era, produced in Bangladesh and customized on the back with Messi's name and the number 10. It is preserved in excellent condition, with intense black and intact fabrics.

The Champion: Lionel Messi

Lionel Messi (Rosario, June 24, 1987) is universally recognized as one of the greatest footballers of all time, winner of eight Ballon d'Or awards and a World Cup with Argentina in 2022. Wearing the number 10 jersey for Barcelona, he wrote unforgettable pages in football history, becoming the club's all-time leading scorer. Precisely in the 2011/12 season, the year of this jersey, Messi achieved the incredible record of 73 goals in a single season, a record still unmatched. A phenomenon capable of reinventing the role of the striker, he enchanted the world with his dribbling and vision. His Barça jersey is one of the most sought-after collector's items worldwide.

Replica Name and Number: What it means

It is important to transparently specify that this item is an original Nike store jersey from that era, to which the name "Messi" and the number 10 have been applied in a replica version, meaning they are reproduced and do not correspond to the official Nike print. This is a common and entirely legitimate practice in collecting: the jersey is authentic and original from the period, while the customization faithfully reproduces the champion's name and number without being the official lettering. This detail does not diminish the charm of the collectible, but it is right that the collector knows about it for a fully informed purchase decision.

What is a Store jersey?

A Store jersey is the official version produced by the technical brand and intended for sale to the public and fans, identical in colors, logos, and design to the one worn on the field. It differs from Player Issued and Match Worn versions in its commercial purpose, while maintaining the full official status of the product. For collectors, it represents the most accessible and authentic way to own the jersey of a legendary champion like Lionel Messi.
