In 2016-17, FC St. Pauli played in the 2.

What this shirt represents

In 2016-17, FC St. Pauli was having a solid season in the antechamber of German football. The club from the port of Hamburg – the one that plays with a skull and crossbones on its scarves and a pirate flag in the stands – had lost none of its rebellious soul. Under Armour, then the club's kit manufacturer for a few seasons, dressed St. Pauli with particular care, far from the industry giants, in a partnership that perfectly matched the anti-conformist identity of the Kiez.

The sponsor Congstar – a German mobile operator, a subsidiary of Deutsche Telekom – adorned the chest of this away shirt, as it did for several other seasons during that period. What distinguishes this piece is the Møller Dæhli flocking: a name that speaks to true fans, not football tourists. Marcus Møller Dæhli, a Norwegian attacking midfielder who played for Manchester City as a youth and was trained in the school of Nordic efficiency, left a real mark at the Millerntor.

Moments etched in this shirt

Møller Dæhli at the heart of Hamburg's game
A creative and tireless midfielder, Marcus Møller Dæhli was one of the most technical players in the Pauli locker room in 2016-17. His profile – technical, high pressing, game vision – perfectly matched the football advocated at St. Pauli, a committed, no-frills football, with intensity in every duel.

The 2. Bundesliga, a daily battleground
The German second division is one of the most demanding leagues in Europe at this level: physical, tactical, unforgiving. St. Pauli's away shirts from this era were worn in stadiums where the warmth of the stands contrasted with the cold of northern Germany – a rough, authentic football that the club's fans cherish.

Under Armour x St. Pauli: an unconventional partnership
The American brand Under Armour did not equip Europe's most successful clubs at the time – and that's precisely why its association with St. Pauli made sense. Two entities that refuse the easy path, that build their identity on something other than trophies and flashy marketing.

Authentic vs. Replica

An authentic vintage shirt is not the same as a replica fresh off the printer. It's the original fabric, the finishes of the era, the technical details designed for players – breathability, athletic fit, textile weight. On an Under Armour shirt of this generation, these characteristics are found: slim fit, lightweight material, HeatGear technology integrated into the fabric.

This one is given in 9/10 condition: in other words, you have in your hands a shirt that has lived without showing the wear and tear. No fading, no visible snags, intact flocking. It's the kind of piece that could have stayed in its packaging – but still has the soul of a shirt that existed in the real world of football.

Vintage Size Guide

Vintage shirts from the 2010s – and Under Armour in particular – often run smaller or more fitted than the modern oversized cuts seen everywhere today. An Under Armour XL from this era corresponds to an athletic cut designed for a player's physique, not a roomy XL from 2024 streetwear. Keep this in mind before ordering.

Practical advice: measure your chest and shoulders first. If you typically wear a modern straight-cut L, the vintage Under Armour XL will be comfortable without being too loose. If you wear a modern loose-cut XL, stick with XL but know that the fit will be closer to the body. If in doubt, do not hesitate to contact us – we are here to help.

Why have it in your collection

An FC St. Pauli Under Armour 2016-17 away flocked shirt is not something you see every day. St. Pauli has a massive international fanbase – the club is cult outside of Germany, from the United States to Japan – but authentic flocked shirts from this generation remain rare on the resale market. The Møller Dæhli flocking adds another layer of specificity: it's not a generic number 10 shirt, it's that of an identified player, from a specific era.

And in 9/10 condition, there really aren't many in this state. St. Pauli shirts from this period were often worn until they were threadbare – because fans of this club wear their shirts, they don't put them under glass. This one has been preserved. It's a direct window into a season of German second division football, with a unique club and an identity that no one can copy.
