Sevilla FC Away Shirt 2015/16 – Sergio Escudero – N.18 – Player Issued Long Sleeves – New Balance – UEFA Europa League – Winner 2015

Sergio Escudero's Player Issued jersey: Sevilla's number 18 in the 2015/16 season as reigning European champions

The second official Sevilla FC jersey for the 2015/2016 season in Player Issued version — in the very rare long-sleeved version — is an authentic relic of extraordinary historical and collector's value, produced by New Balance in their absolute debut as technical supplier to the Andalusian club. The red jersey with white vertical stripes and polo collar is the Away kit with which Sevilla played the European season as reigning UEFA Europa League champions. This exceptional status is crystallized in the golden patch sewn on the left flank of the jersey: the UEL cup with the inscription "2015" — the badge that only the reigning champion club has the privilege of wearing for an entire year. On the left sleeve is the UEFA Europa League patch, on the right sleeve the UEFA Respect patch. The back bears the number 18 and the surname ESCUDERO in white, with the Sevilla crest in watermark below the number and the Spanish flag on the collar. The New Balance label shows size M (GB/US) and cut 175/96A. The long-sleeved version is the winter seasonal supply reserved exclusively for the team, never marketed in store versions. In that season, Sevilla again won the UEFA Europa League — for their fifth title in eleven years — making this jersey a document of an unrepeatable year in the club's history.

The player: Sergio Escudero

Sergio Escudero Palomo (Valladolid, September 2, 1989) is a Spanish left-back who linked the most important part of his career to Sevilla FC, a club with which he experienced two of the most glorious seasons in contemporary Andalusian football. Growing up in Real Murcia, he honed his skills in Germany at Schalke 04 — a club with which he played in the UEFA Champions League — before returning to Spain with Getafe. In the summer of 2015, he joined Sevilla, signing a multi-year contract that kept him in red and white for six consecutive seasons. With the Nervionenses, he won two UEFA Europa League titles — in 2016 against Liverpool in Basel and in 2020 against Inter in Cologne — becoming one of the most reliable defenders in the club's golden European era. The number 18 was his official number throughout his time in Seville. This long-sleeved Player Issued jersey from the 2015/16 season — the year Escudero debuted with Sevilla as reigning European champions — is an authentic relic from the most successful phase of his career.

What is a Player Issued jersey?

A Player Issued jersey is a kit specifically prepared for a particular player but not necessarily worn in an official match. It differs from the commercial version due to a series of precise technical characteristics: professional finishes, personalization with the player's name and number, match cut and materials, exclusive technical details reserved for team supply. It is hierarchically superior to the store version and only inferior to the Match Worn. The long-sleeved version — like this example — is never available to the public and represents an even rarer piece in the seasonal supply. For collectors, it represents an authentic piece of very high historical and commercial value, often impossible to find on the market years after its production.
