Adidas - AC Milan 2012/13 hjemmefodboldtrøje 'EL SHAARAWY'

This is the AC Milan 2012/13 home shirt by adidas, finished with El Shaarawy 92 on the back and UEFA Champions League sleeve patches. It is a very recognizable Milan design from the early 2010s, mainly because of the classic red-and-black vertical stripes paired with the standout white fold-over collar, which gives the shirt a slightly more traditional and elegant feel than many other adidas Milan shirts from that era.

What makes this one especially interesting is the El Shaarawy nameset. During the 2012/13 season, Stephan El Shaarawy was one of Milan’s biggest bright spots and one of the most exciting young attackers in Europe. His pace, directness and goals made him one of the defining faces of that campaign, so shirts with his name carry a lot more identity than many other squad prints from the same period. The 92 is also instantly associated with him, which helps make the shirt feel very era-specific.

Design-wise, the shirt keeps Milan’s traditional base intact but adds some subtle refinement. The stripes are clean and sharp, and the thin accent lines running between them give the shirt a slightly more modern technical look without taking away from the classic Rossoneri feel. The white collar is really the key feature here, because it changes the whole mood of the shirt. It gives it a slightly more premium and matchday look than a standard crew neck version would have.

The Champions League starball and Respect patches add another layer of appeal. They place the shirt directly in Milan’s European context that season, which matters for collectors. Even when Milan were no longer at the absolute peak of the late 2000s, they were still a huge European club with strong identity, and Champions League versions of their shirts always feel more substantial because of that stage and reputation.

From a season perspective, 2012/13 was a transitional year for Milan. The club had moved on from several established stars, and that made younger players like El Shaarawy even more central to the story. Because of that, this shirt captures an interesting moment in the club’s history: not quite the dominant Milan of a few years earlier, but still a major side rebuilding around new personalities.

Overall, this is a strong collector’s piece because it combines several things that work well together: a classic Milan home design, a memorable collar, Champions League patching, and one of the most iconic player associations from that specific season in El Shaarawy 92.
