Manchester United 2003/04 third jersey

Manchester United wore this as a third in 2003/04. Nike made it, Vodafone was on the front: white with black and red pinstripes.

Won the FA Cup, and finished third.

On the garment, the tell is the black-trimmed classic collar. We read that, the neck label and the tag before we call one original.

How to date one

Neither the print nor the colour dates this one

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 the same third — white with black and red pinstripes — in 2003/04 and 2004/05, all under Nike with the Vodafone print. For 2003/04 the tell is the black-trimmed classic collar. Beyond that it is the neck label and the tag, which we read before offering you anything.

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.

We do not have this one in hand

Put it on the Want List and it becomes something we go looking for. No fee, no bidding, no obligation — you see photos, measurements and a price before anything is charged.

Club, season and kit is enough. Sponsor or a squad number if you know it.

Early-2000s sizing runs small. Telling us the size stops us offering you a jersey that will not fit.
