By 2012-2013, this reign had ended some years prior, and the club was going through a difficult \u003cstrong\u003eperiod of transition\u003c\/strong\u003e, both sportingly and economically.

Cuts from the 2000s and early 2010s were designed to be fitted, with narrower shoulders and less generous body lengths than an equivalent modern jersey. A \u003cstrong\u003evintage L Boys\u003c\/strong\u003e, in particular, corresponds to a large size child or teenager cut — not an adult of standard build.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"line-height:1.8;margin-bottom:20px;\"\u003eBefore finalizing your order, take a tape measure and measure your chest circumference and shoulder width.
