Manchester United 2001/02 third jersey
Manchester United wore this as a third in 2001/02. Umbro made it, Vodafone was on the front: gold with black trim.
The centenary season, and the last full season under Umbro. The away and third shirts were a reversible pair. Finished third.
On the garment, the tell is the reversible, revealing the away shirt inside. We read that, the neck label and the tag before we call one original.

The print gets you close, the colour finishes it
Two switches inside three seasons. Sharp ended in 2000, so any Vodafone shirt is 2000/01 or later. Umbro made the shirt up to 2001/02, Nike from 2002/03.
Manchester United wore Umbro with the Vodafone print in 2000/01 and 2001/02. Only in 2001/02 was the third gold with black trim, so the colour settles it. For 2001/02 the tell is the reversible, revealing the away shirt inside.
The six checks we run on any jersey — the label code, the sleeve badge, the print, and what none of them prove.
What an early-2000s original costs — real asking prices, and the reproduction price an original has to clear.
