After winning the Dutch championship in 2015-16, the Eindhoven club set off with the same ambitions: to dominate the \u003cstrong\u003eEredivisie\u003c\/strong\u003e and make an impact in the \u003cstrong\u003eChampions League\u003c\/strong\u003e. Phillip Cocu was still on the bench, the team's dynamics were in place, and PSV knew exactly what it wanted to achieve that season.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:1.1em;line-height:1.8;margin-bottom:20px;\"\u003eThe squad featured names that resonated with true fans: \u003cstrong\u003eLuuk de Jong\u003c\/strong\u003e up front, \u003cstrong\u003eHéctor Moreno\u003c\/strong\u003e in defense, \u003cstrong\u003eAndrés Guardado\u003c\/strong\u003e in midfield, and in goal, \u003cstrong\u003eJeroen Zoet\u003c\/strong\u003e established himself as number one — relegating \u003cstrong\u003eRemko Pasveer\u003c\/strong\u003e and van Casteren to backup roles. This V.Casteren flocking, precisely, is the story of a man in the shadows, professional to the core, whose name on an official jersey remains a rarity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 style=\"font-size:1.4em;font-weight:bold;margin-top:28px;margin-bottom:12px;\"\u003eMoments Etched into This Jersey\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"line-height:1.8;margin-bottom:12px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePSV in the 2016-17 Champions League\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePSV was drawn into a group with Atlético Madrid, Bayer Leverkusen, and Rostov. A difficult European campaign against high-level opponents, but one that confirmed the club's place among the continental elite.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"line-height:1.8;margin-bottom:12px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Battle for the Eredivisie Title\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThat season, \u003cstrong\u003eFeyenoord Rotterdam\u003c\/strong\u003e beat PSV to the punch and won the championship — the Rotterdam club's first title since 2002. A blow for Eindhoven, who finished as runners-up, which further adds value to this particular season in the club's recent history.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"line-height:1.8;margin-bottom:20px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLuuk de Jong, PSV's Offensive Leader\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Dutch striker confirmed his status as a key player for the club that season, scoring goals and providing assists. His efficiency in the penalty area was one of the hallmarks of Cocu's PSV, and this 2016-17 jersey is directly linked to this successful period for the striker.\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;\"\u003eA \u003cstrong\u003evintage authentic jersey\u003c\/strong\u003e is not the same as a replica released for the club's 50th anniversary. It's a jersey that existed in the real world, during that specific season, worn or sold at that time, with the real Umbro markings, the real PHILIPS logo sewn or flocked, and the real finishes of the era. That's what makes all the difference for a \u003cstrong\u003evintage football jersey collector\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"line-height:1.8;margin-bottom:20px;\"\u003eThis one is listed in \u003cstrong\u003e8\/10 condition with slightly used printings\u003c\/strong\u003e. The flocking shows some signs of life, which is normal, it's honest. It means that this jersey had a history before it came into your hands, and no one has hidden anything about its actual condition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 style=\"font-size:1.4em;font-weight:bold;margin-top:28px;margin-bottom:12px;\"\u003eVintage Size Guide\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"line-height:1.8;margin-bottom:14px;\"\u003eThis jersey is labeled \u003cstrong\u003eXL Boys\u003c\/strong\u003e — a child\/junior size from the Umbro era. Children's cuts from the 2010s are generally tighter and shorter than what is expected in adult vintage sizes. An Umbro XL Boys from 2016 corresponds approximately to an adult S in modern cuts, sometimes an M depending on body shape.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"line-height:1.8;margin-bottom:20px;\"\u003eBefore buying, \u003cstrong\u003emeasure your chest circumference and compare it with the actual measurements of the jersey\u003c\/strong\u003e — if they are not available, do not hesitate to contact the seller. For this type of item with specific flocking, it would be a shame to miss out over a matter of centimeters.\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;\"\u003eA \u003cstrong\u003ePSV Eindhoven jersey flocked with V.Casteren\u003c\/strong\u003e is ultra-specific. We're not talking about a De Jong or a Guardado that you regularly come across in football flea markets. Van Casteren is a goalkeeper who had a long professional career in the shadows, and finding his name flocked on an authentic \u003cstrong\u003eUmbro PHILIPS home 2016-17\u003c\/strong\u003e is the kind of piece that makes any true collector of \u003cstrong\u003eretro football jerseys\u003c\/strong\u003e raise an eyebrow.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"line-height:1.8;margin-bottom:20px;\"\u003eAt 8\/10 with slightly used printings, the jersey remains in solid condition for an authentic item of almost ten years. There aren't many in this condition with this specific flocking — it's not an item that is made on demand. When it's gone, it's gone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 style=\"font-size:1.4em;font-weight:bold;margin-top:28px;margin-bottom:12px;\"\u003eTo Learn More\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\/PSV_Eindhoven\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"\u003ePSV Eindhoven — 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 — Jersey History\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;\"\u003eIf you're looking for a vintage PSV jersey with character and unique flocking, you're in the right place — this kind of piece doesn't come around twice.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"PSV Eindhoven","offers":[{"title":"XL.
