What this jersey represents

Brondby IF is simply one of the most historic clubs in Scandinavia. Founded in 1964 in Brøndby, a working-class suburb of Copenhagen, the club dominated Danish football for decades before experiencing a long period in the wilderness in the 2010s. The 2016-17 Danish Superliga season marked the beginning of a true comeback: Brondby finished as runners-up, a sign that the machine was back in motion.

It was also a pivotal time for the club on the European stage, with regular participation in the preliminary rounds of UEFA competitions. The sponsor Arbejdernes Landsbank — a Danish cooperative bank with working-class roots — perfectly matches the club's popular and authentic identity. It's no coincidence that this partnership resonates with fans: Brondby is the people's club of Copenhagen.

The men who wore this jersey

During this period, Teemu Pukki was perhaps the most prominent name at Brondby. The Finnish striker, before becoming a Premier League star with Norwich City, scored important goals in these colors and became a darling of Brøndby Stadion. His association with creative Danish midfielders gave Brondby's play a real attacking fluidity.

Andrew Hjulsager, a technical Danish midfielder trained at the club, was also an essential cog in the team during this era. And at the back, the defense organized around seasoned Superliga players made Brondby difficult to handle at home. Wearing this 2016-17 Brondby Hummel jersey means wearing the energy of this group that truly believed in returning to the top.

Moments etched in this jersey

The comeback in the Superliga
The 2016-17 season saw Brondby finish in a very strong position, reigniting the rivalry with FC Copenhagen. After years of drought in the standings, fans once again felt the thrill of the title within reach.

The atmosphere of Brøndby Stadion
This 29,000-seat stadium, one of the most fervent in Nordic football, was once again buzzing this season. The derbies and European evenings in this arena have a reputation that extends far beyond the Danish borders.

Hummel, the club's historic kit manufacturer
The Danish brand Hummel and Brondby have a long-standing love affair. The characteristic chevrons on the sleeves are instantly recognizable to any connoisseur of vintage Scandinavian football jerseys. This collaboration gives the jerseys of that era a strong graphic identity, highly sought after today by collectors.

Authentic vs Replica

An authentic vintage jersey is one that truly circulated through the official channels of the time — not a reproduction made afterwards to satisfy market nostalgia. The finishes, the cut, the materials: everything betrays the real from the fake for an experienced eye. An authentic from this era has a texture and drape that modern replicas simply cannot imitate.

This one is in 9/10 condition with a SPOT state — which means a very localized micro-imperfection, perfectly visible and honestly described. Nothing that disfigures the jersey, everything that proves it's real. A 10/10 jersey has never lived. This one, however, has a story.

Vintage sizing guide

Vintage football jerseys consistently run smaller than modern standards. A 2016-17 S does not correspond to a modern S — the cuts were more fitted, less oversized, with less room everywhere. If you usually wear an M in current jerseys, this vintage S is probably for you, but check anyway.

Before confirming your order, take a tape measure and measure your chest circumference and torso length. Compare these flat measurements with those of the jersey if available, or contact us directly. A minute of measuring is better than an unnecessary return — and a collector's Brondby Hummel jersey waiting for you deserves your attention.

Why have it in your collection

Vintage Scandinavian football is clearly underestimated in the collector's jersey market, and that's exactly why you should be interested now. Brondby IF is a club with a real European track record, a passionate fan base, and a strong visual identity through Hummel. Jerseys from this era are becoming rare in good condition — and demand is only increasing as collectors broaden their horizons beyond the major leagues.

There aren't many in this condition on the market. A 2016-17 Brondby home jersey in 9/10 is a piece that has been preserved without being museum-worthy. It's ready to join a serious collection or even be worn on match days — with the pride of knowing you're wearing something real, not a mass-produced print.
