Milan Home Jersey 2017/18 – André Silva – N.9 – Player Issued – Adidas Adizero – Serie A / Champions League

AC Milan 2017/18 Player Issued Jersey with André Silva's name: a relic of the Rossoneri's great return to the Champions League

The first AC Milan jersey for the 2017/2018 season in the Player Issued version is a relic of extraordinary historical value for every Rossoneri collector. This is the jersey from Milan's great return to the UEFA Champions League after years of absence from the top European competitions: a moment long-awaited and celebrated by the entire Rossoneri world. Manufactured by Adidas in Cambodia with Adizero technology — the lightest and most technical fabric in the Adidas professional range, reserved for match versions — it features the characteristic finishes of the team's supply: the number 9 printed internally in the collar (an exclusive element of Adidas Player Issued jerseys), patches sewn on both sleeves, and the Italian flag on the back of the collar. The Fly Emirates sponsor appears in large white format on the front, while the official AC Milan crest with the golden star is prominently displayed on the chest. On the left sleeve, the official Serie A TIM patch with the year 2017-2018 printed; on the right sleeve, the prestigious UEFA Champions League patch with the number 7 — celebrating the seven Champions League trophies won by Milan in its history. The back is personalized with the name ANDRÉ SILVA and the number 9 in white. Excellent condition: perfectly intact Rossoneri fabric, vivid colors, impeccable patches.

The Player: André Silva

André Miguel Valente da Silva (Baguim do Monte, November 6, 1995) is one of the most prolific and recognized Portuguese strikers of his generation. Developed at Porto, where he showed an excellent nose for goal from a very young age, in the summer of 2017 he joined AC Milan in one of the most anticipated market operations of the Rossoneri's summer session. With the Milan number 9 jersey, he played in the 2017/18 season, participating in both Serie A and the UEFA Champions League — the first in the Portuguese striker's history with a major club in Europe's most important competition. His career then reached European heights with Eintracht Frankfurt, where in the 2020/21 season he scored 28 goals in the Bundesliga, becoming top scorer and a candidate for the Ballon d'Or, before joining RB Leipzig. He has been a protagonist for the Portuguese National Team for years, participating in World Cups and European Championships alongside iconic figures in world football. The Milan number 9 jersey is an authentic relic of the beginning of his adventure at the top of European football.

What is a Player Issued jersey?

A Player Issued jersey is a uniform specifically prepared for a particular player but not necessarily worn in an official match. It differs from the commercial version by a series of precise technical characteristics: professional finishes, player's name and number applied with match-grade materials, exclusive technical cut and fabrics reserved for team supply, internal details — such as the number printed in the collar, a typical feature of Adidas Player Issued jerseys — which do not appear in store versions. It is hierarchically superior to the commercially sold version and inferior only to Match Worn. For collectors, it represents an authentic piece of very high historical and commercial value, often impossible to find on the market years after its preparation.
