Manchester United 2004/05 third jersey
Manchester United wore this as a third in 2004/05. Nike made it, Vodafone was on the front: white with black and red pinstripes.
Lost the FA Cup final to Arsenal on penalties, and finished third.
On the garment, the tell is the polo collar, black and red pinstripes. We read that, the neck label and the tag before we call one original.

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 2004/05 the tell is the polo collar, black and red pinstripes. 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.
