This \u003cstrong\u003evintage Adidas away shirt\u003c\/strong\u003e from the 2013-14 season embodies the ambition of a historic club that refuses to fade away.\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 2013-2014\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClub:\u003c\/strong\u003e SK Rapid Wien\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e Away\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Adidas\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e 8\/10\u003cbr\u003e\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\u003cp style=\"line-height:1.8;margin-bottom:14px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSK Rapid Wien\u003c\/strong\u003e is Austria's most successful club, founded in 1899, with a history intertwined with that of Central European football. In 2013-14, the club was playing in the \u003cstrong\u003eAustrian Bundesliga\u003c\/strong\u003e under a rebuilding squad, seeking to reclaim the national title after a few difficult seasons. It is precisely this tension between a glorious past and renewed ambition that makes this \u003cstrong\u003evintage Rapid Wien shirt\u003c\/strong\u003e so interesting to own.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"line-height:1.8;margin-bottom:20px;\"\u003eOn the field, players like \u003cstrong\u003eSteffen Hofmann\u003c\/strong\u003e — a living legend of the club, a technical midfielder who dedicated most of his career to Rapid — continued to embody the club's identity. Alongside him, players like \u003cstrong\u003eMario Sonnleitner\u003c\/strong\u003e in central defense and \u003cstrong\u003ePhilipp Schobesberger\u003c\/strong\u003e in attack represented the new wave carrying the hopes of the \u003cstrong\u003eWeststadion\u003c\/strong\u003e supporters. It was a committed, contested season, with that particular flavor of Austrian football that connoisseurs of the beautiful game know well.\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 quest for the Austrian Bundesliga title\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nIn 2013-14, Rapid was determined to compete with Red Bull Salzburg, who were then establishing their dominance in Austrian football. Every away trip — and therefore every outing in this away shirt — was a statement of intent.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"line-height:1.8;margin-bottom:12px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSteffen Hofmann, the captain at the heart of the game\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nHofmann is an institution at Rapid. In 2013-14, he was still one of the midfield leaders, distributing play and character in every match. Wearing this shirt from that era is a tribute to one of the greatest players in the history of the Viennese club.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"line-height:1.8;margin-bottom:20px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Vienna derby against Austria Wien\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThe \u003cstrong\u003eWiener Derby\u003c\/strong\u003e is one of the most passionate derbies in Central Europe, with an intensity that rivals Spanish clasicos or Italian derbies. In its away version, this shirt may have graced opposing pitches in the total electricity of this Viennese clash.\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\u003cp style=\"line-height:1.8;margin-bottom:14px;\"\u003eAn \u003cstrong\u003eauthentic vintage Adidas shirt\u003c\/strong\u003e is a different planet compared to a mass-market replica. The finishes are different, the fabric is more technical, the manufacturing details immediately reveal an item actually worn in matches or training by professionals. This is what makes the difference for a true collector: authenticity can be felt, touched, and examined in every seam.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"line-height:1.8;margin-bottom:20px;\"\u003eThis one boasts an \u003cstrong\u003e8\/10 condition\u003c\/strong\u003e, which is frankly solid for a shirt that is now over ten years old. At this level, we're talking about a shirt that has seen some life — perhaps dressing rooms, pitches, stands — but is still in a significantly better condition than the average pieces from that era found on the market. No major defects, no unpleasant surprises: that's what we look for in a \u003cstrong\u003evintage collector's shirt\u003c\/strong\u003e.\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\u003cp style=\"line-height:1.8;margin-bottom:14px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVintage Adidas jerseys from 2010-2014\u003c\/strong\u003e have cuts that have evolved since. Generally, the cuts from that era were more fitted, closer to the body, with measurements that can easily be one size smaller compared to current standards. A vintage Adidas Medium might correspond to the morphology of a modern Small, depending on current reference brands. This is a crucial piece of information to consider before confirming your purchase.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"line-height:1.8;margin-bottom:20px;\"\u003eThe practical advice is simple: first and foremost, get out a tape measure. Measure your chest circumference and shoulder width, then compare with the flat measurements of the shirt. For this \u003cstrong\u003eRapid Wien shirt size M\u003c\/strong\u003e, expect a shoulder-to-shoulder width of around 46-48 cm flat, and a chest circumference of around 50-52 cm flat. If you are used to modern loose fits, anticipate one size up in your usual logic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 style=\"font-size:1.4em;font-weight:bold;margin-top:28px;margin-bottom:12px;\"\u003eWhy have it in your collection\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"line-height:1.8;margin-bottom:14px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRapid Wien\u003c\/strong\u003e remains one of the most historic clubs in Central Europe, often underrepresented in vintage shirt collections outside of Austria. This is precisely what makes it a rare and sought-after piece by connoisseurs. An \u003cstrong\u003eAdidas Rapid Wien 2013-14 away shirt\u003c\/strong\u003e isn't found under every rock: production for Austrian clubs at the time was limited, and good condition examples are becoming increasingly rare over the years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"line-height:1.8;margin-bottom:20px;\"\u003eWith an \u003cstrong\u003e8\/10 condition\u003c\/strong\u003e, you have a piece that can be proudly displayed in a showcase, framed on a wall, or worn to a retro match without a complex. There aren't many in this condition still circulating freely — Austrian club shirts of this generation are gradually disappearing from radar, bought by collectors who know exactly what they're doing. If you sleep on it, you might regret it.\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\/SK_Rapid_Wien\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"\u003eSK Rapid Wien - 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 – History of kits\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;\"\u003eThis Rapid Wien 2013-14 away shirt is a piece for those who know football beyond the top five leagues — and who can recognize a true collector's gem when they see one.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Other European Clubs","offers":[{"title":"M","offer_id":54012071575827,"sku":"364848","price":29.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0949\/4839\/3235\/files\/eng_pm_2013-14-RAPID-SHIRT-M-364848_1.jpg?v=1775502444","url":"https:\/\/supporterid.com\/en\/products\/2013-14-rapid-shirt","provider":"SUPPORTER ID®","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
