What this shirt represents

In 2017-18, Queens Park Rangers played in the Championship, the English second division, after the turbulence following their relegation from the Premier League. The London club, based at Loftus Road in the Shepherd's Bush district, was then in a phase of patient and serious rebuilding. Errea, the Italian kit manufacturer loyal to the R's for several seasons, designed a jersey that perfectly embodies the identity of this popular club, without fuss, without frills — pure and hard football.

The sponsor Royal Panda was prominently displayed on the front of the jersey, marking a time when partnerships with online gaming platforms were starting to become established in the lower English divisions. Ian Holloway's team, and then Steve McClaren's at various times, brought together Championship fighters like Luke Freeman, Jamie Mackie, and Joel Lynch — players who gave their all in every game. It is this sincere, unglamorous football that this MANNING flock represents.

Moments etched in this jersey

A Championship season of intense intensity
The English Championship in 2017-18 was one of the most competitive and physical leagues in Europe. QPR fought tooth and nail, in London derbies against Brentford, Millwall, or Fulham that made Loftus Road roar to the last row.

Loftus Road, a unique atmosphere
The stadium in Shepherd's Bush is one of the most intimate and electric in England, with its stands close to the pitch. This jersey was worn — or was intimately close to — an atmosphere that many Premier League fans have never experienced.

The MANNING flock, a personal story
A jersey flocked with a player's name is always something special in collector culture. This MANNING flocked jersey refers to a specific player, a specific identity, a part of the R's history etched in the fabric.

Authentic vs Replica

An authentic vintage jersey is not a factory-sealed product. It's a piece that has lived a life — matches, changing rooms, travel, stands. The difference with a replica is felt in the cut, the quality of the materials, the finishes. Errea crafts its jerseys with recognized seriousness and expertise in European football, and you can feel it as soon as you touch the fabric.

This one shows a condition of 9/10 with traces (stains) — which, in the vintage world, is a very honest rating. The slight marks present simply testify to the fact that this jersey truly existed, that it wasn't kept in plastic. For purists of collector football jerseys, this is exactly what we're looking for: authentic, not museum-piece.

Vintage Sizing Guide

Vintage jerseys — and especially Errea productions from that generation — generally run smaller than modern standards have accustomed us to. An M from that era often corresponds to what we would wear today as a large S or a fitted M. This is not a flaw; it's simply the reality of the cuts at the time, which were more form-fitting and functional.

Before finalizing your order, grab a tape measure. Measure your chest circumference flat, then compare it with the actual dimensions of the jersey — total length, width at armpits. This is the only way to be 100% sure the piece will fit you. A collector's jersey that doesn't fit is an unnecessary frustration that two minutes of measuring can completely avoid.

Why have it in your collection

Vintage QPR shirts from the Championship years are clearly undervalued in the current collector market. Everyone chases after the big Premier League teams, and meanwhile, pieces from clubs with strong identities like Queens Park Rangers remain accessible — for now. An Errea QPR 2017-18 player flocked shirt is a rarity on the secondary market: low stock, low visibility, and total authenticity.

And in this precise condition — 9/10 with stains — there aren't many circulating. Most copies from that season have disappeared into drawers or been damaged far beyond what the market can accept. Here, you have a piece that breathes authenticity, with a preservation rating that remains largely in the noble zone for a serious collector. Don't hesitate too long.
