This \u003cstrong\u003eAdidas away jersey sponsored by ARRIBA\u003c\/strong\u003e is a direct witness to those nail-biting seasons — where every hard-fought point tasted like a cup final victory.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 style=\"font-size:1.4em;font-weight:bold;margin-top:28px;margin-bottom:12px;\"\u003eJersey details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"line-height:2;margin-bottom:20px;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeason:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2014-2016\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClub:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hamburger SV\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e Away\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Adidas\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSponsor:\u003c\/strong\u003e ARRIBA\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e 8\/10\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eState:\u003c\/strong\u003e LITTLE PULLS, SLIGHTLY USED PRINTINGS — authentic wear of a worn vintage jersey, not a jersey taken out of a box this morning, and that's exactly what makes it charming.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 style=\"font-size:1.4em;font-weight:bold;margin-top:28px;margin-bottom:12px;\"\u003eWhat this jersey represents\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"line-height:1.8;margin-bottom:14px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHamburger SV\u003c\/strong\u003e is one of Germany's most historic clubs. Founded in 1887, it long remained the only club never to have left the \u003cstrong\u003eBundesliga\u003c\/strong\u003e since its creation in 1963 — an absolute source of pride, almost an identity obsession for its supporters. However, the 2014 to 2016 seasons were among the most painful in its history: two consecutive seasons of anxiously watching the bottom of the table, two relegation play-offs that nearly brought the institution down.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"line-height:1.8;margin-bottom:20px;\"\u003eIt was in this context of a \u003cstrong\u003efight for survival\u003c\/strong\u003e that this away jersey was worn. On the bench and on the pitch, coaches came and went — Mirko Slomka, Josef Zinnbauer, Bruno Labbadia — each trying to provide direction to a team searching for its bearings. Players like \u003cstrong\u003eRafael van der Vaart\u003c\/strong\u003e, who returned to the club in 2012 and remained until 2015, wore this jersey with the full weight of Hamburg's history on their shoulders.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 style=\"font-size:1.4em;font-weight:bold;margin-top:28px;margin-bottom:12px;\"\u003eMoments etched in this jersey\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"line-height:1.8;margin-bottom:12px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe survival play-off — May 2015\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAt the end of the 2014-2015 season, Hamburg finished 16th in the Bundesliga and had to play a relegation play-off against Karlsruher SC.

The materials, finishes, flocking, labels: everything is from the era.
