🔴⚪ AS Monaco Home Jersey 2014-2015 – Player Issue (Authentic)

🧵 Size S – Berbatov 10 – No sleeve patch – Condition 9/10

🔁 Official Nike Authentic 2014 version – Serial tag: 000195449
🏷️ Official Berbatov 10 print with LFP logos inside the numbers
🌬️ Dri-Fit technology – Laser-cut ventilation holes – Slim fit
🇹🇭 Made in Thailand – Embroidered crest and Swoosh – Buttoned polo collar

This rare jersey is a high-end version identical to those worn by professional players on the pitch. It features the name and number of Dimitar Berbatov, one of the club's key players that season. It has no LFP patch on the sleeve, suggesting it is a player issue not used in a match, likely from a pre-release batch, media kit, or export distribution.

🧩 One intriguing detail supports this: a small inner fabric tag at the bottom of the shirt shows the code 447290-010, which is normally associated with the Netherlands’ 2012 away shirt. This same code has also been found on jerseys of France 2012 and PSG 2012. Such code recycling strongly suggests it comes from a hybrid batch, showroom sample or export-specific production. That makes this piece all the more rare, unique, and collectible.

🔍 Overall condition is excellent (9/10), with just one minor flaw: a small white bobble on the chest (pictured). No pulls, stains, tears, or printing issues otherwise.

🔎 Authenticity Note:
This shirt features all the hallmarks of a genuine player issue Authentic: numbered Authentic 2014 tag, official print, technical fabric with laser ventilation, crisp embroidery, pro fit and correct Nike finishes from that era.

Interestingly, the "Authentic" tag number 000195449 has also been spotted on multiple other Nike jerseys from the 2014 season — including England away, AS Monaco training, USA away, and Brazil home kits. All of them share two key traits: they belong to the same production year (2014) and have the exact same laser-cut ventilation pattern typical of Nike’s Dri-Fit technology at the time. This indicates that these tags were likely produced as part of a coherent industrial batch, and reused across multiple teams.

In short, while the serial number is not unique, the consistent construction and technical details confirm this shirt is an authentic, high-quality piece worthy of any serious collection.
