His interim successor, and then \u003cstrong\u003ePepe Mel\u003c\/strong\u003e appointed in January 2014, took the reins of a destabilized squad that was nonetheless strong enough to keep the club in the English top flight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"line-height:1.8;margin-bottom:20px;\"\u003eOn the field, \u003cstrong\u003eBaggies\u003c\/strong\u003e fans could count on warriors like \u003cstrong\u003eYoussouf Mulumbu\u003c\/strong\u003e, tireless in midfield, and \u003cstrong\u003eSaido Berahino\u003c\/strong\u003e, who was just starting to make a name for himself as he broke into the professional squad. \u003cstrong\u003eVictor Anichebe\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eShane Long\u003c\/strong\u003e, and captain \u003cstrong\u003eChris Brunt\u003c\/strong\u003e formed the backbone of a competitive group, capable of challenging the best \u003cstrong\u003ePremier League\u003c\/strong\u003e teams when the collective clicked.\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\u003cp style=\"line-height:1.8;margin-bottom:12px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSteve Clarke's dismissal — December 2013\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAfter a difficult run, Clarke left the club mired in the bottom half of the table.

The finishes, the inner labels, the original flocking — everything speaks of an era when English football was still rooted in that mix of working-class tradition and the nascent money of the \u003cstrong\u003ePremier League\u003c\/strong\u003e.

We strongly advise you to carefully check the product photos and contact the store if you have any doubts about the condition — especially for a \u003cstrong\u003ecollector's shirt\u003c\/strong\u003e that you plan to frame or proudly wear in the stands.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 style=\"font-size:1.4em;font-weight:bold;margin-top:28px;margin-bottom:12px;\"\u003eVintage sizing guide\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"line-height:1.8;margin-bottom:14px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVintage Adidas sizes from the 2010s\u003c\/strong\u003e do not always correspond to current standards, even if this generation is closer to our modern benchmarks than models from the 90s. An XXL from 2013-14 can, depending on the cut, be closer to a current XL in terms of chest circumference, especially with the fitted cut that Adidas favored during this period. Never assume — always check.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"line-height:1.8;margin-bottom:20px;\"\u003eThe reflex to have before buying: measure your chest circumference and compare it with the actual dimensions of the shirt if they are available. If you plan to wear it in a match or in the stands, keep in mind that \u003cstrong\u003evintage football shirts\u003c\/strong\u003e are often shorter in the body than modern cuts. For framed use as decoration, this concern obviously does not arise.\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;\"\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eWest Bromwich Albion 2013-14 shirt\u003c\/strong\u003e belongs to that category of pieces that are just beginning to become rare on the market. We're talking about a club founded in 1878, one of the founding members of the Football League, and a season that perfectly embodies the contradictions of the \u003cstrong\u003emodern Premier League\u003c\/strong\u003e — millions injected everywhere, but managerial stability that remains a rare commodity. The sponsor \u003cstrong\u003eZoopla\u003c\/strong\u003e, an online real estate giant, is itself a strong time marker: this partnership had a limited lifespan, which makes this shirt even more dated in the best sense of the word.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"line-height:1.8;margin-bottom:20px;\"\u003eThe XXL size is also good news for larger collectors or those who want to actually wear their piece — large vintage sizes are often harder to find in good condition, as they are less \"kept in the back of a drawer\" than standard sizes. If the condition of this shirt is correct, it's an opportunity not to be missed.\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\/West_Bromwich_Albion\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"\u003eWest Bromwich Albion - 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 football 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;\"\u003eA Baggies shirt from the Zoopla era in XXL isn't something you come across every day — if it's your size and you respect the history of English football, the decision should be made quickly.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"West Bromwich Albion","offers":[{"title":"XXL","offer_id":54010315276563,"sku":"246257","price":34.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0949\/4839\/3235\/files\/eng_pm_2013-14-WEST-BROMWICH-ALBION-SHIRT-XXL-246257_1.jpg?v=1775445412","url":"https:\/\/supporterid.com\/en\/products\/2013-14-west-bromwich-albion-shirt","provider":"SUPPORTER ID®","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
