It was the era when this Silesian club, long discreetly in the shadow of Polish giants, began to lay the foundations for something great.

Founded in 1945 in the industrial region of Silesia, it long operated in the shadow of the most successful Polish clubs, never truly making an impact on the league. In \u003cstrong\u003e2017-18\u003c\/strong\u003e, the club was firmly established in the \u003cstrong\u003eEkstraklasa\u003c\/strong\u003e, the Polish top division, and methodically built its sporting project under the direction of coach Waldemar Fornalik — a man who knows Polish football better than anyone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"line-height:1.8;margin-bottom:20px;\"\u003eThis shirt represents a pivotal season, the one immediately preceding the historic title. The squad is united, the playing identity clear, and ambition is no longer hidden. The fans of the \u003cstrong\u003eStadion Miejski in Gliwice\u003c\/strong\u003e are starting to truly believe. Wearing this shirt means holding the chapter just before the breakthrough.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 style=\"font-size:1.4em;font-weight:bold;margin-top:28px;margin-bottom:12px;\"\u003eMoments Etched into This Shirt\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"line-height:1.8;margin-bottom:12px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe building of the Fornalik squad\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWaldemar Fornalik, former coach of the Polish national team, took the helm of Piast Gliwice with a precise vision: a compact, hard-to-beat block, effective on the counter-attack. The 2017-18 season was when this philosophy truly took shape on the field.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"line-height:1.8;margin-bottom:12px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA top-level defensive base in the Ekstraklasa\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Piast of this era was distinguished by its defensive solidity, one of the best in the Polish championship. It was this culture of collective work, visible in every home match, that built the club's reputation at this time and foreshadowed what would come two years later.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"line-height:1.8;margin-bottom:20px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe strong regional roots of a Silesian club\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGliwice is Silesia — a working-class, passionate, proud region. Piast embodies this local identity with rare intensity. The regional derbies of that season, played before a noisy and involved crowd, are moments of authentic football that this shirt symbolically carries.\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 shirt\u003c\/strong\u003e is not a copy. It is the real product of its time — manufactured by \u003cstrong\u003eJoma\u003c\/strong\u003e for the 2017-18 season, with the same finishes, materials, and details as those worn by players or sold in the club's official stores at that precise moment. The difference from a modern replica is immediately apparent as soon as you hold it: the textiles, the prints, the cut — everything is from the era.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"line-height:1.8;margin-bottom:20px;\"\u003eThis one is rated \u003cstrong\u003e10\/10 in NEW condition\u003c\/strong\u003e — meaning it has never been worn, never washed, probably never taken out of its original packaging or stock. For a Polish club shirt from that era, this is exceptional condition. It is not common to find a \u003cstrong\u003ePiast Gliwice 2017-18 shirt\u003c\/strong\u003e in this state of preservation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 style=\"font-size:1.4em;font-weight:bold;margin-top:28px;margin-bottom:12px;\"\u003eVintage Sizing Guide\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"line-height:1.8;margin-bottom:14px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVintage shirts\u003c\/strong\u003e do not size like modern ones. In 2017-18, Joma's cuts for Polish football remained relatively fitted and straight — without the elastic stretch of current technologies. A \u003cstrong\u003esize M\u003c\/strong\u003e from this era generally corresponds to a slender profile with a standard build, and may appear shorter or tighter than a current M depending on the brand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"line-height:1.8;margin-bottom:20px;\"\u003eBefore buying, take your tape measure and measure your chest width (armpit to armpit), shoulder width, and torso length. Compare with the flat measurements of the shirt if available. This is the only reliable method to avoid unpleasant surprises with a \u003cstrong\u003ecollector's item shirt\u003c\/strong\u003e that you won't be able to return.\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;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePiast Gliwice\u003c\/strong\u003e is one of the least represented clubs in vintage shirt collections outside of Poland. However, it is a club with a real history, real achievements since 2019, and a strong regional identity. The shirts from the \u003cstrong\u003e2017-18\u003c\/strong\u003e period, just before the Polish championship title, have real narrative value: it's the season of preparation, the penultimate chapter before the major breakthrough. For a collector who loves off-the-beaten-path clubs and Central European football, this is exactly the kind of piece that makes a difference in a display case.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"line-height:1.8;margin-bottom:20px;\"\u003eAnd in \u003cstrong\u003e10\/10 NEW condition\u003c\/strong\u003e, it's even rarer. You won't find dozens of \u003cstrong\u003ePiast Gliwice Joma shirts\u003c\/strong\u003e from this season in perfect condition on the market. Most have been worn, washed, used. This one, no. It is intact, as if just taken out of the boxes on the first day. There aren't many in this condition — and that, in the market for \u003cstrong\u003evintage Polish football shirts\u003c\/strong\u003e, really matters.\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\/Piast_Gliwice\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"\u003ePiast Gliwice - 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 - History of Kits\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;\"\u003eA Polish club shirt in perfect condition is a rarity that few collectors have in their wardrobe.
