In 2007-08, the club competed in the \u003cstrong\u003e2. Bundesliga\u003c\/strong\u003e, a division where every point is hard-earned, where clubs fight for their economic as well as sporting survival.

A 2007 XL often corresponds to a modern L by contemporary standards, sometimes even an M depending on your body shape and whether you prefer a slim or oversized fit.

And a \u003cstrong\u003ecollector's Uhlsport long-sleeve jersey\u003c\/strong\u003e is even more specific — long-sleeve versions were always produced in far fewer numbers than short-sleeve versions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"line-height:1.8;margin-bottom:20px;\"\u003eThere really aren't many in this condition on the market.
