Twelve months after being crowned \u003cstrong\u003eEnglish champions in 2016\u003c\/strong\u003e against all odds, the Foxes experienced their first \u003cstrong\u003eUEFA Champions League\u003c\/strong\u003e campaign. It is historic, unprecedented, and this shirt is a direct witness to it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"line-height:1.8;margin-bottom:20px;\"\u003eOn the pitch, Claudio Ranieri was still on the bench at the start of the season, surrounded by legendary warriors: \u003cstrong\u003eRiyad Mahrez\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eJamie Vardy\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eKasper Schmeichel\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eWes Morgan\u003c\/strong\u003e. And in midfield, \u003cstrong\u003eDanny Drinkwater\u003c\/strong\u003e — the tireless midfielder whose name adorns this shirt — continued to do his work in the shadows, essential in ball recovery and transition.

Leicester held its own and brilliantly passed the group stage, notably beating FC Porto. An incredible feat for a club that was fighting for survival in the top division a few years earlier.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"line-height:1.8;margin-bottom:12px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRound of 16 against Atlético de Madrid\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nIn March 2017, Leicester faced Simeone's Colchoneros in the round of 16. A world-class opponent, a tight two-legged tie. Qualification ended there, but the mere fact of having reached that far while wearing this shirt remains a historic performance for the Foxes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"line-height:1.8;margin-bottom:20px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRanieri's departure and the revolt of the senior players\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nIn February 2017, the unthinkable happened: \u003cstrong\u003eClaudio Ranieri was sacked\u003c\/strong\u003e despite his championship title a year earlier. The dressing room, the fans, all of England were in shock. Craig Shakespeare took the reins. This shirt also carries that wound — the brutality of professional football even for heroes.\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 shirt\u003c\/strong\u003e is not a souvenir from a stadium shop produced in hundreds of thousands of copies. It is a piece that existed in the real time of football, with its materials from that era, its original cut, its Puma finishes designed to be worn — not hung in a glass display case. The difference is felt in the hands from the very first second.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-style:italic;line-height:1.8;\"\u003eIf you were there in 2016 to experience Leicester's title, this shirt will take you back there in two seconds.
