What this jersey represents

AS Saint-Étienne from 2013 to 2015 was a club in full identity reconstruction. After plumbing the depths of Ligue 2 in the early 2000s, Les Verts had regained their standing and were firmly established in the top 5 of Ligue 1. These two seasons represent a pivotal period when the club sought to reach a new level, to become essential on the national stage again, and to regularly return to Europe.

On the pitch, Christophe Galtier had been in charge since 2009 and was patiently building a solid, hard-to-play-against squad. Players like Blaise Matuidi had already left, but the generation replacing him was just as good. Loïc Perrin, an emblematic captain, embodied the Saint-Étienne philosophy: courage, commitment, belonging. The Chaudron was roaring again, and this away jersey is a direct witness to that.

Moments etched in this jersey

The return to European competition (2013-14)
Saint-Étienne qualified for the Europa League in the 2013-14 season, thus returning to the continental stage. This away jersey therefore potentially graced European pitches, a rare and valuable fact for any serious collector.

The rivalry with Lyon reignited
The Rhône-Alpes derby between ASSE and OL experienced increased intensity during this period, with Les Verts capable of competing against their hated neighbors. Wearing this away jersey when traveling to Gerland was a declaration of war.

Winamax, the sponsor that marked its era
The arrival of Winamax as jersey sponsor for Saint-Étienne symbolized a new commercial era for the club. This partnership, visible on this away jersey, is now an historical marker that speaks directly to fans and collectors of the period.

Authentic vs Replica

An authentic vintage jersey is not a jersey fresh out of a box in plastic wrap. It's a jersey that has lived — that has been worn during training, matches, or that belonged to a real fan who wore it dozens of times. The manufacturing details, the Adidas cut of the era, the finishes on the flocking: all of this does not lie and immediately distinguishes an original from a copy.

This jersey is announced in condition 8/10 with USED PRINTINGS, which means that the textile is in excellent overall condition, but that the prints (flocking, logos, sponsor) show slight visible wear. This is exactly what one expects from an authentically used vintage collector's jersey: not a fake new retouched item, not an immaculate counterfeit. The real deal.

Vintage size guide

Vintage Adidas jerseys from the 2010s have a more fitted cut than what we know today with modern oversized cuts. An XL from that era often corresponds to a current L, or even an L/XL depending on body types. Don't blindly trust the label: size standards have evolved, and what was cut large in 2013-15 might be surprising in 2024.

Before ordering, take a measuring tape and measure the chest width of your favorite jersey flat, then compare. For an XL vintage Adidas of this generation, count approximately 58 to 62 cm chest flat depending on the exact cut. If you are between two sizes, take the larger one — a slightly loose football jersey always looks better than a too-tight one.

Why have it in your collection

The Saint-Étienne away jersey 2013-15 ticks several rare boxes simultaneously: historic French club, Adidas equipment supplier with its recognized expertise, Winamax sponsor as an era marker, and a particularly interesting sporting period with Les Verts' return to Europe. ASSE away jerseys from this generation are becoming rarer on the secondary market, especially in large sizes like XL which sell quickly.

In condition 8/10, it's an excellent quality-condition ratio for authentically worn vintage. There aren't many in this condition still lingering on the market — most of these jerseys have either been lost, damaged, or jealously kept by their original owners. When an example like this resurfaces, serious collectors don't hesitate.
