Porto Home Jersey 2004/05 – Diego – No. 16 – Store – Nike – Primeira Liga

Porto 2004/2005 Home Shirt with Diego's Number 16

The FC Porto's first kit for the 2004/2005 season is a timeless classic of Portuguese football: the historic blue and white vertical stripes by Nike, with the large PT (Portugal Telecom) sponsor on the chest and the SuperLiga Galp Energia patch on the sleeve. This item features Diego's name and number 16 on the back. Diego was a young Brazilian attacking midfielder who arrived from Santos in the summer of 2004 as Deco's designated successor. Size XL, Good condition: the shirt is in good overall condition, with vibrant colours, but the PT sponsor on the front shows visible cracking in the print and a small tear, clearly documented in the photos. An authentic piece from the golden era of the Dragons, under José Mourinho and then Co Adriaanse.

The player: Diego

Diego Ribas da Cunha (Ribeirão Preto, Brazil, February 28, 1985), known simply as Diego, is a Brazilian attacking midfielder who made his mark in South America and Europe with his vision and superb technical quality. Developed at Santos, where he won the 2002 Brazilian championship alongside Robinho, he arrived at Porto in the summer of 2004 to replace Deco, who had moved to Barcelona. At Porto, he won the 2005/2006 Primeira Liga and the 2006 Taça de Portugal, before moving to Werder Bremen in 2006. With the Brazilian national team, he won two consecutive Copa América titles in 2004 and 2007. His career later took him to Juventus, Wolfsburg, Atlético Madrid, Fenerbahçe, and finally Flamengo, where he became a true club legend.

What is an original Store shirt?

An original Store shirt is the official version sold to the public, produced by the technical sponsor with the same official logos, materials, and patches as the match kit. It can be identified by the original Nike label with the declared country of production and the quality of the technical fabrics. The nameset with the name and number applied to this item is officially supplied, consistent with the standard of shirts sold in authorized Nike and Porto stores at the time. As this is an item over twenty years old, it is normal to find signs of age: in this case, the PT sponsor on the front shows cracking and a small tear, transparently documented in photos and description.
