What this jersey represents

Olympiacos FC is not an ordinary football club. It is a Greek national institution, the most successful club in the country, with over 47 Greek championships to its name. In 2017-18, the club went through a period of rebuilding and reassertion, seeking to maintain its dominance in the Greek Super League against the rise of rivals such as PAOK and AEK Athens. That season marked a break in the red and white's near-monopoly on Greek football — PAOK ultimately won the title — but Olympiacos remained a formidable force in Balkan football.

On the pitch, players like Kostas Fortounis, the club's soul and emblematic captain, continued to proudly wear the colors of Piraeus. The Greek international attacking midfielder perfectly embodies Olympiacos' identity: technical, combative, attached to his roots. Alongside him, players like Panagiotis Retsos, then a dazzling young talent who would soon join Bayer Leverkusen for a record sum, show that Olympiacos also knows how to develop and reveal high-level players on a European scale.

Moments etched in this jersey

Return to the Europa League 2017-18
Olympiacos participated in the group stage of the 2017-18 UEFA Europa League, keeping the Greek flag flying in European competition. The club played high-level matches against continental opponents, wearing this Adidas jersey on pitches across Europe.

The revelation of Retsos and the record transfer
Panagiotis Retsos, born in 1998, exploded onto the European scene during the 2017-18 season at Olympiacos. His level of play was such that he joined Bayer Leverkusen in the summer of 2018 for approximately 12 million euros, a record transfer for a Greek player of that age.

The break in the monopoly — pivotal season
After years of near-absolute domination, the 2017-18 season was when Olympiacos saw PAOK Thessaloniki snatch the Greek championship title from them. An electroshock for the Piraeus club, which would have to rebuild and bounce back — as it always has throughout its history.

Authentic vs. Replica

An authentic vintage jersey like this one is a piece worn or designed to be worn on the field, with technical materials, careful finishes, and a different look from mass-market replicas. The embroidery is sharper, the fabric more technical, and the manufacturing details immediately tell you that you are dealing with a real match jersey or an authentic version — not a copy intended for the stands.

With a condition rating of 8/10, this Olympiacos Adidas 2017-18 jersey is in excellent condition for a piece nearly seven years old. No significant wear to report, the prints are clear, the fabric is intact. This is exactly the kind of condition you look for when building a serious collection of vintage European football jerseys.

Vintage size guide

Please note, this jersey is a Boys M size — therefore a medium-sized children's jersey. Vintage children's football jerseys generally correspond to builds between 8 and 12 years old depending on the brands and eras. Adidas has its own size charts which may vary slightly from one collection to another, but generally, an Adidas Boys M from this era corresponds to a chest circumference of approximately 68-72 cm.

Before ordering, take the time to measure the chest circumference and back length of the future wearer. A poorly fitting jersey, even in excellent condition, loses its charm. For collector use or for framing, size matters little — but for wearing, be precise in your measurements. If in doubt, do not hesitate to contact us for the exact measurements of this jersey.

Why have it in your collection

Vintage jerseys from Greek clubs, and Olympiacos in particular, are still relatively rare on the European collector's market. The Piraeus club remains underrepresented in collections compared to its status as a giant of Mediterranean football. Owning an Olympiacos Adidas home jersey 2017-18 in Boys M size means having a piece that speaks of a pivotal season, a generation of talented Greek players, and a quality equipment partnership between Adidas and one of Greece's most emblematic clubs.

And in this condition — 8/10 — it's frankly not common. Children's jerseys often suffered more than adult versions, worn in playgrounds, neighborhood matches, washed a hundred times. This one has clearly been cherished. For an Olympiacos fan, for a collector of vintage Adidas football jerseys, or simply for someone who loves Greek football and its great European nights, this is a meaningful acquisition.
