Adidas - Sweden 2000 Home Football Shirt 'IBRAHIMOVIC'

This is the Sweden 2000 home shirt made by adidas, shown here with Ibrahimović 11 on the back. It features Sweden’s classic yellow base, bold blue shoulder and sleeve detailing, the Svenska Fotbollförbundet crest on the chest, and blue adidas branding. The shirt also uses a folded polo-style collar with yellow trim and white piping across the upper chest and back, which gives it a distinctly early-2000s international look.

The design feels unmistakably turn-of-the-millennium adidas. The bright yellow body is balanced by a broad blue yoke across the shoulders, blue three stripes down the sleeves, and a structured collar that gives the shirt a more formal and traditional feel than later Sweden kits. The white piping adds a sharper technical edge, while the overall layout still keeps the classic Swedish colour balance front and centre. The Ibrahimović 11 nameset suits the shirt especially well, because it gives an early-era Sweden design the identity of the player who would go on to define the national team for the next two decades.

This shirt is most closely associated with Sweden’s 2000 international period, when the national side still leaned on players such as Henrik Larsson, Teddy Lučić, Olof Mellberg, Andreas Andersson, Magnus Hedman, and Patrik Andersson, while Zlatan Ibrahimović was only just beginning to come through at senior level. That makes the Ibrahimović 11 print especially interesting here, because it links a very early Sweden design to the player who would later become the country’s defining football figure. Because of that, this shirt has strong collector value as an early Sweden shirt tied to the very beginning of Zlatan’s national-team story, while also representing a clean and classic adidas era before the more aggressively technical designs of the mid-2000s.

Shirt condition: 7.5/10
