After several seasons playing second fiddle to Benfica in the \u003cstrong\u003ePrimeira Liga\u003c\/strong\u003e, the club from northern Portugal returned to the top of the league and became champions of Portugal at the end of the season. It was a liberation, a return to the natural order of things for the \u003cstrong\u003eDragons\u003c\/strong\u003e supporters, who had suffered in silence for too long.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"line-height:1.8;margin-bottom:20px;\"\u003eOn the field, \u003cstrong\u003eSérgio Conceição\u003c\/strong\u003e took the reins of the club during the previous season and imposed his style: intense pressing, compact block, and a warrior mentality. Players like \u003cstrong\u003eHéctor Herrera\u003c\/strong\u003e, a true midfield metronome, and \u003cstrong\u003eVincent Aboubakar\u003c\/strong\u003e, a ruthless goalscorer, wore this jersey with a pride and intensity that was felt in every match. The team was young, hungry, and they showed it.\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\u003eThe 2017-18 Portuguese championship title\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePorto ended several seasons of drought by winning the \u003cstrong\u003ePrimeira Liga\u003c\/strong\u003e, their 28th national title. A triumph that restored the club to its natural place at the top of Portuguese football and validated the Conceição project in its first full season.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"line-height:1.8;margin-bottom:12px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Champions League campaign\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the \u003cstrong\u003eUEFA Champions League\u003c\/strong\u003e, Porto held their own against top opponents.

This season marked the beginning of a victorious cycle for Porto, and this jersey is a witness to this tactical and mental metamorphosis.\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 jersey\u003c\/strong\u003e is an example that was actually in circulation during the season concerned — not a re-issue, not a copy produced years later. It is the original edition, with the finishes, labels, and materials of the time, manufactured by \u003cstrong\u003eNew Balance\u003c\/strong\u003e to be worn in the stands of stadiums or by real supporters. The difference with a replica is felt in the details: the quality of the fabric, the cut, the original sewn or heat-sealed badges.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"line-height:1.8;margin-bottom:20px;\"\u003eThis one is advertised in \u003cstrong\u003e8\/10 condition\u003c\/strong\u003e, which means a jersey in very good overall condition — few visible signs of wear, logos are intact, and the overall appearance is preserved. For a piece that is now over seven years old, this is excellent preservation. You are getting a true piece of Porto history without compromising on visual quality.\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 jerseys\u003c\/strong\u003e — and even 2017-18 jerseys, which now fall into this category — often have a more fitted cut than current models. A \u003cstrong\u003evintage size S\u003c\/strong\u003e generally corresponds to a tight athletic size S, sometimes equivalent to a modern XS depending on body types. New Balance at that time had relatively slim cuts on their football jerseys, designed to fit close to the body rather than to hang loosely.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"line-height:1.8;margin-bottom:20px;\"\u003eBefore you fall for it, get out the tape measure. Measure your chest circumference and compare it with the flat measurements of the jersey that we indicate in the photos or by contacting the shop. One thing is certain: it is better to check twice than to receive a jersey that is tight under the arms when you put on your Dragons jersey to watch the match.\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;\"\u003eThe 2017-18 season was a \u003cstrong\u003epivotal season for FC Porto\u003c\/strong\u003e — it was the beginning of a new victorious cycle, the return to the top, the season of the rediscovered title. Jerseys from this period are now increasingly sought after by \u003cstrong\u003evintage football jersey collectors\u003c\/strong\u003e, as they embody a specific turning point in the club's recent history. With kit manufacturer \u003cstrong\u003eNew Balance\u003c\/strong\u003e, we have a collaboration that produced clean and solid designs, often underrated at the time but increasingly appreciated today by connoisseurs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"line-height:1.8;margin-bottom:20px;\"\u003eAnd here, we are talking about an item in \u003cstrong\u003e8\/10 condition\u003c\/strong\u003e. In the life of a vintage jersey, this is what is called a beautiful specimen — clean, intact, suitable for framing or wearing. There aren't tons of them in this condition on the market, especially with several years on the clock. If you collect jerseys of big Iberian clubs or have a particular affection for Porto, this piece clearly deserves a place in your wardrobe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 style=\"font-size:1.4em;font-weight:bold;margin-top:28px;margin-bottom:12px;\"\u003eTo go further\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\/FC_Porto\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"\u003eFC Porto - 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;\"\u003eThis jersey is Porto reclaiming its throne — if you're a Dragons fan or a Portuguese football enthusiast, you already know this piece won't wait long.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"FC Porto","offers":[{"title":"S","offer_id":54012989931795,"sku":"371474","price":24.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"M","offer_id":54012989964563,"sku":"346801","price":34.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0949\/4839\/3235\/files\/eng_pm_2017-18-PORTO-SHIRT-S-371474_1.jpg?v=1775518492","url":"https:\/\/supporterid.com\/en\/products\/2017-18-porto-shirt","provider":"SUPPORTER ID®","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
