2010-11 season, Hertha Berlin had just come out of two difficult seasons marked by relegation to the 2. Bundesliga and an immediate return to the first division.

What this jersey represents

Between 2010 and 2012, Hertha BSC went through a pivotal period in its modern history. After relegation to the 2. Bundesliga in the 2009-10 season, the Berlin club managed to immediately return to the Bundesliga, but stabilization in the first division remained a constant struggle. The Olympiastadion roared, supporters demanded a solid sporting project, and the team tried to rebuild brick by brick under the aegis of a management that focused on training and young local talents.

It is in this context that Pierre-Michel Lasogga, a promising young striker trained at the club, began to emerge in the professional group. The flocking of his name on this Nike home jersey testifies to a real enthusiasm among Berlin fans for this tall lad capable of making opposing defenses suffer. Alongside him, players like Raffael, who played in Berlin at that time, or Sandro Wagner animated an attack that was looking for its bearings in the Bundesliga.

Moments etched in this jersey

Immediate return to the Bundesliga (2010)
Relegated in 2009-10, Hertha managed to return the following season to the 2. Bundesliga, showing a form of resilience that fans have not forgotten. This jersey is directly linked to the seasons that followed this rebound — a team that wants to prove that it belongs in the elite.

Lasogga, the rising local boy
Pierre-Michel Lasogga, born in Herford in 1991, was at that time one of the club's most exciting prospects. To see him flocked on a vintage Hertha jersey from this period is to hold in your hands a piece that documents the beginning of a career that would later take him to Hamburg and the German national youth team.

Deutsche Bahn, historic sponsor on the chest
The DB (Deutsche Bahn) logo, the German national railway company, is one of the most emblematic partnerships of the Berlin club during this period. This sponsorship anchors the jersey in a strong identity — Berlin, capital, mobility, national ambitions — and makes this jersey a doubly identifiable piece for any connoisseur of German football.

Authentic vs Replica

An authentic vintage jersey is a piece actually manufactured and marketed at the time — not a recent reproduction, not a reprint. The finishes, the inner labels, the cut and the materials immediately betray its original origin. This is what makes the value of such an object in the eyes of serious collectors: you hold something real, not a copy made to satisfy the nostalgia of the current market.

This one has a 7/10 condition with wear on the flocking — what collectors call "used printings". This is not a jersey fresh out of its plastic bag, it's a jersey that has lived. The slight wear of the Lasogga flocking does not detract from its authenticity, quite the contrary: it tells us that someone wore it, perhaps during an evening at the Olympiastadion, perhaps in a bar watching a crucial Bundesliga match.

Vintage sizing guide

Vintage Nike jerseys of this generation generally run smaller than modern cuts. A vintage S is often the equivalent of a current XS to S depending on body types. The cut is more fitted, more adjusted to the torso, in the tradition of player jerseys from the late 2000s and early 2010s. If you usually wear an M in a modern football jersey, this vintage S may suit you if you are slim, but measure before buying.

Practical advice: take a jersey you already wear and measure the shoulder width and chest circumference flat. For this vintage Hertha Berlin size S jersey, count approximately 44-46 cm chest width flat. If you are in this range or slightly below, it's the right fit. When in doubt, contact us before validating — we are here for that.

Why have it in your collection

Vintage Hertha Berlin jerseys from 2010-2012 remain relatively rare pieces on the secondary market, especially those with original player flocking. Lasogga is not a name you see flocked every day — that's precisely what makes it a find for the collector who likes jerseys with a story behind the number. A jersey flocked with a youth academy player is always more interesting than a blank version.

The 7/10 condition makes it an honest and accessible piece — not perfect, but real. There aren't many in this condition with this specific flocking circulating on the market. If you collect vintage Bundesliga jerseys or have a particular affection for Berlin football, this piece ticks all the boxes: specific era, identifiable player, historic sponsor, premium kit manufacturer.
