What this jersey represents

In 2011-12, CSKA Moscow was not just a major Russian club — it was a title-winning machine domestically and a serious contender on the European stage. The club enjoyed dominant seasons in the Russian Premier League, with a solid team built around an experienced backbone. The sponsor Bashneft, a Russian oil giant from Bashkortostan, alone illustrates the colossal investments flowing into Russian football at that time.

This Ignashevich flocked jersey is a historical document. Sergei Ignashevich, a monumental central defender, was then one of the most capped players in the history of the Russian national team and CSKA's undisputed defensive leader. Around him played names like Seydou Doumbia, a prolific scorer, and Alan Dzagoev, a brilliant technical midfielder. The squad was well-oiled, ambitious, and feared.

European campaigns in the Champions League

Authentic vs. Replica

An authentic vintage jersey is not the same as a souvenir shop replica. It's a genuine jersey designed to be worn on — or near — a pitch, with specific technical finishes, finer fabrics, and a cut adapted to athletic performance. With Reebok in the early 2010s, authentic jerseys were distinguished by the quality of the flocking, the care given to the badges, and an overall construction frankly superior to standard replicas.

This one is in 9/10 condition — which, in the world of collectible jerseys, represents a truly remarkable state for a piece over ten years old. The Bashneft sponsor is present and intact, the Ignashevich flocking is legible and solid. This is exactly the kind of piece that makes a difference in a serious collection.

Vintage Size Guide

The sizes of early 2010s Reebok vintage jerseys do not correspond to current standards. An XL from that era can easily be closer to a modern L in terms of fit, especially because football cuts back then were more fitted and tailored than current, looser, and oversized cuts. Never rely solely on the label.

Before buying, take a measuring tape and measure your own chest flat — then compare with the flat measurements of the jersey (back width x2). For a vintage football jersey size XL Reebok from this period, generally count around 55 to 58 cm flat width depending on the model. If in doubt, do not hesitate to ask for exact measurements — it's better to check than regret.

Why have it in your collection

Vintage CSKA Moscow jerseys remain rare pieces on the Western market. Russian football, despite its very high European level during that decade, is largely underrepresented in jersey collections — which makes every well-preserved item all the more valuable. A jersey flocked with an iconic player like Ignashevich, produced by Reebok and sponsored by Bashneft, is an object that tells both a footballing and geopolitical story.

In 9/10 condition, there are really not many in this state. This type of jersey circulates rarely, and when it does, it's often much more worn. Here we're talking about a near-new piece that has survived more than a decade without showing any signs of aging. Whether you're a fan of Eastern European football, a collector of Reebok jerseys, or simply an amateur of rare pieces that stand out from the beaten path — this is a clear opportunity.
