This \u003cstrong\u003e2000-2002 Kappa home shirt\u003c\/strong\u003e, flocked with \u003cstrong\u003eSCOTT\u003c\/strong\u003e on the back, perfectly captures this pivotal period for the Lancashire club – between renewed ambitions and quiet reconstruction. A locker room with character, an Italian equipment manufacturer at the top of its game, and a player flocking that roots this jersey in reality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 style=\"font-size:1.4em;font-weight:bold;margin-top:28px;margin-bottom:12px;\"\u003eShirt details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"line-height:2;margin-bottom:20px;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeason:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2000-2002\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClub:\u003c\/strong\u003e Blackburn Rovers\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e Home\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Kappa\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSponsor:\u003c\/strong\u003e TIME\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e 8\/10\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eState:\u003c\/strong\u003e SLIGHTLY USED PRINTINGS, LITTLE PULLS, LITTLE SPOTS — authentic wear of a vintage worn shirt, exactly as it should be for a piece of this age.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 style=\"font-size:1.4em;font-weight:bold;margin-top:28px;margin-bottom:12px;\"\u003eWhat this shirt represents\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"line-height:1.8;margin-bottom:14px;\"\u003eThe 2000 to 2002 seasons at Ewood Park saw \u003cstrong\u003eGraeme Souness's Blackburn Rovers\u003c\/strong\u003e on the rise again. The club had experienced promotion to the Premier League, then relegation to the Championship in 1999 — a painful fall for a club that was English champion in 1995. Back in the top flight in 2001, Blackburn returned to the \u003cstrong\u003ePremier League\u003c\/strong\u003e with a clear ambition: never to fall back again.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"line-height:1.8;margin-bottom:20px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKappa\u003c\/strong\u003e was the club's kit manufacturer during this period, and the Turin-based company delivered shirts with the characteristic cut of the era — that particular drape, those neat finishes, that sewn Kappa label that connoisseurs recognize. The sponsor \u003cstrong\u003eTIME\u003c\/strong\u003e proudly adorned the chest, an immediate visual marker of this generation of English shirts from the turn of the millennium.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 style=\"font-size:1.4em;font-weight:bold;margin-top:28px;margin-bottom:12px;\"\u003eMoments etched in this shirt\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"line-height:1.8;margin-bottom:12px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe return to the Premier League — 2001-02 season\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nAfter a season in the Championship, Blackburn Rovers returned to the Premier League under the guidance of Graeme Souness. This shirt represents the return to the elite, the regained pride of Ewood Park in the cream of English football.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"line-height:1.8;margin-bottom:12px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMatt Jansen, the attacking revelation\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nDuring these seasons, \u003cstrong\u003eMatt Jansen\u003c\/strong\u003e burst onto the scene across England — a technical, effective striker, he embodied the attacking revival of the Rovers. His goals propelled Blackburn during their comeback, and his name even circulated in discussions about the English national team.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"line-height:1.8;margin-bottom:20px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDamien Duff, the winger who terrorized defenses\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nAt this time, \u003cstrong\u003eDamien Duff\u003c\/strong\u003e was one of the most exciting wingers in the Premier League — technical, fast, unpredictable. The Irishman delivered remarkable performances in this Kappa shirt, to the point of attracting the attention of Europe's biggest clubs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 style=\"font-size:1.4em;font-weight:bold;margin-top:28px;margin-bottom:12px;\"\u003eAuthentic vs Replica\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"line-height:1.8;margin-bottom:14px;\"\u003eAn \u003cstrong\u003eauthentic vintage jersey\u003c\/strong\u003e is a piece made to be worn on the field or sold in official club stores at the time — not a modern reproduction, not a reprint. The materials, labels, and heat-pressed or embroidered flocking of the era are irreplaceable, and that is precisely what makes such a piece valuable to \u003cstrong\u003efootball jersey collectors\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"line-height:1.8;margin-bottom:20px;\"\u003eThis one shows an 8\/10 condition with slightly worn prints, a few small pulls, and slight marks — nothing prohibitive, quite the contrary. It's proof that this \u003cstrong\u003evintage Kappa Blackburn Rovers shirt\u003c\/strong\u003e existed, lived, and was worn. This natural patina cannot be reproduced in a laboratory.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 style=\"font-size:1.4em;font-weight:bold;margin-top:28px;margin-bottom:12px;\"\u003eVintage size guide\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"line-height:1.8;margin-bottom:14px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVintage jerseys from the 2000s\u003c\/strong\u003e consistently fit smaller than current cuts. An XXL from 2001 often corresponds to a modern L, sometimes even an M depending on body shapes. This applies to Kappa as well as almost all manufacturers of that generation — cuts were more fitted, shorter, less ample than what we know today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"line-height:1.8;margin-bottom:20px;\"\u003eBefore you fall for it, grab a tape measure and measure your shoulder width and chest circumference. Compare these measurements to those of the jersey you're asking us about — we're here to help you avoid unpleasant surprises. A poorly sized \u003cstrong\u003ecollector's jersey\u003c\/strong\u003e is an unnecessary frustration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 style=\"font-size:1.4em;font-weight:bold;margin-top:28px;margin-bottom:12px;\"\u003eWhy you should have it in your collection\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"line-height:1.8;margin-bottom:14px;\"\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eBlackburn Rovers Kappa shirt\u003c\/strong\u003e from 2000-2002 is a piece you rarely come across. Kappa hasn't supplied Rovers for a long time, the sponsor TIME belongs to a bygone era, and examples flocked with a player's name — here \u003cstrong\u003eSCOTT\u003c\/strong\u003e on the back — are even rarer than blank versions. This is exactly the kind of shirt serious collectors look for: specific, dated, identifiable at first glance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"line-height:1.8;margin-bottom:20px;\"\u003eThere aren't many in this condition on the market — an 8\/10 with period flocking on a shirt over twenty years old is already an achievement. The small signs of wear do not in any way detract from the readability of the shirt or its visual integrity. For a \u003cstrong\u003eretro football shirt\u003c\/strong\u003e from this period, it's frankly in beautiful condition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 style=\"font-size:1.4em;font-weight:bold;margin-top:28px;margin-bottom:12px;\"\u003eTo go further\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"line-height:2.2;margin-bottom:16px;\"\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Blackburn_Rovers\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"\u003eBlackburn Rovers — Wikipedia\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.footballkitarchive.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"\u003eFootball Kit Archive — Kit history\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.uefa.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"\u003eUEFA — European Football\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"font-style:italic;line-height:1.8;\"\u003eIf you collect English shirts from the turn of the 2000s or if Blackburn is one of your favorite clubs, this Kappa piece with SCOTT flocking is for you — it won't be available for long.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blackburn Rovers","offers":[{"title":"XXL","offer_id":54010074890515,"sku":"372366","price":69.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0949\/4839\/3235\/files\/eng_pm_2000-02-BLACKBURN-ROVERS-SCOTT-SHIRT-XXL-372366_1.jpg?v=1775420770","url":"https:\/\/supporterid.com\/en\/products\/2000-02-blackburn-rovers-scott-shirt","provider":"SUPPORTER ID®","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
