Sporting Lisbon 2002-2003 Home Short Sleeve Football Shirt [As worn by Danny, Quaresma & Ronaldo]

This is the fully-customizable short-sleeve home kit for the Sporting Lisbon 2002-2003 season. Sporting Lisbon is famed for its world-class academy that produced some big footballing names such as Luis Figo, Rui Patricio, Ricardo Quaresma, Joao Moutinho, Nani, and others. However, none of them came close to Portugal’s best-ever player, Cristiano Ronaldo. The youngster started his professional career in this exact shirt, making his debut for Sporting at just 17 years of age in 2002. That’s where he impressed Alex Ferguson so much that the Scot invited him to Manchester United and gave him the kit with number seven on the back. The rest is, as they say, history. However, this kit remains the one where Ronaldo started his epic footballing journey.

This jersey is a remake of the official one, made with the exact same materials, look, and feel. Tighter fit: make sure you choose the right sizing. We recommend buying one size bigger than you usually wear. This will ensure the jersey will fit. Sizing Guidelines This jersey comes in five sizes, which come with a tiny difference: they fit smaller than usual. Our suggestion is to pick your size 1 size bigger than you usually would. If you usually wear an M, pick an L. If you usually wear an S, pick an M. Kid’s Sizing We also have kid’s sizing, which includes the jersey along with the shorts. Kid’s kits come from size 16 to 28, and can fit kids ranging from 95cm (for size 16) up to 160cm (for size 28).
