After two catastrophic seasons marked by total instability — coaches fired mid-season, erratic results, internal warfare between management and Peter Lim — the club finally returned to solid ground. Marcelino arrived in June 2017 and restored a collective identity to a locker room that desperately needed it. It was a \u003cstrong\u003eseason of real reconstruction\u003c\/strong\u003e, not cosmetic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"line-height:1.8;margin-bottom:20px;\"\u003eOn the field, this jersey was worn by a generation of players who gave their all to put Valencia back among the greats. \u003cstrong\u003eDani Parejo\u003c\/strong\u003e, captain and midfield maestro, dictated the tempo. \u003cstrong\u003eRodrigo Moreno\u003c\/strong\u003e scored goals in La Liga. \u003cstrong\u003eCarlos Soler\u003c\/strong\u003e, a young product of the Cantera, began to establish himself in the starting eleven. And then there was \u003cstrong\u003eGeoffrey Kondogbia\u003c\/strong\u003e, on loan from Inter Milan, who had one of the best seasons of his career. A solid, identifiable collective that once again became capable of instilling fear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 style=\"font-size:1.4em;font-weight:bold;margin-top:28px;margin-bottom:12px;\"\u003eMoments etched in this jersey\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"line-height:1.8;margin-bottom:12px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe return to the Champions League after five years of absence\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nValencia finished 4th in La Liga 2017-18 and qualified directly for the \u003cstrong\u003eChampions League\u003c\/strong\u003e. For a club of this stature, five years away from the Champions League was an eternity — and this jersey is from the season that ended that drought.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"line-height:1.8;margin-bottom:12px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA consistent season from start to finish\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nUnlike previous seasons, Valencia did not collapse after the winter break. \u003cstrong\u003eMarcelino\u003c\/strong\u003e installed a strong defensive block — only 35 goals conceded in 38 games — and built a difficult-to-play-against team, capable of beating Barça or Atlético at Mestalla.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"line-height:1.8;margin-bottom:20px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRodrigo, top scorer of the season for Valencia\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThe Spanish striker finished as the club's top scorer in La Liga with a consistency not seen for a long time in a rebuilding Valencia. \u003cstrong\u003eRodrigo\u003c\/strong\u003e became the symbol of this offensive revival, the one on whom the hopes of an entire Comunitat Valenciana rested.\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 not a jersey pulled from a new box and wrapped in plastic. It is an item that has a story in its seams — washes, heat, real use. \u003cstrong\u003eAuthentic Adidas jerseys\u003c\/strong\u003e from that era are distinguished by their athletic fit, technical fabric, and finishing details absent from replica versions: internal labels, flocking quality, density of Climalite fabric.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"line-height:1.8;margin-bottom:20px;\"\u003eThis one is in \u003cstrong\u003e8\/10 condition with a \"dirty\" state\u003c\/strong\u003e — meaning it has lived. No tears, no holes, but a patina that gives it its character as a worn piece, not a museum piece. This is exactly what true \u003cstrong\u003evintage jersey collectors\u003c\/strong\u003e look for: authenticity, not the sanitized perfection of a souvenir under glass.\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 Adidas jerseys from the late 2010s\u003c\/strong\u003e still have a more fitted cut than current sportswear standards. A 2017-18 M does not have the same width as a 2024 M — the cuts are closer to the body, the length sometimes shorter. If you usually wear an L today for comfort, a vintage M might correspond to your actual size, but it will be tighter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"line-height:1.8;margin-bottom:20px;\"\u003eBefore buying, take a jersey you wear regularly and measure its flat armpit-to-armpit width and its total length. Compare it with the actual product dimensions if provided. This is the only reliable method to avoid ending up with a \u003cstrong\u003ejersey that is too short or too tight\u003c\/strong\u003e — and to avoid having to part with it just because you skipped the measuring step.\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 \u003cstrong\u003eValencia 2017-18 Adidas home jersey\u003c\/strong\u003e represents a pivotal season for a historic club — the fifth Spanish club in terms of La Liga titles, two-time Champions League finalist. This specific season is one of tangible, documented, real revival. It is not an anecdotal jersey: it is that of a \u003cstrong\u003esporting resurrection\u003c\/strong\u003e carried by a collective and a coach who redefined the club's identity. This type of piece, in ten years, will be even more sought after.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"line-height:1.8;margin-bottom:20px;\"\u003eAnd honestly? There aren't many in this condition on the market. A \u003cstrong\u003evintage Valencia jersey in 8\/10 condition\u003c\/strong\u003e with this BLU sponsor, this Adidas cut specific to this season, is a window that closes quickly. \"Dirty\" pieces scare some people — that's precisely why real connoisseurs snap them up before anyone else. A good professional cleaning often puts everything back in order, without ever erasing its history.\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\/Valencia_CF\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"\u003eValencia CF – 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.laliga.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"\u003eLa Liga – Official Website\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;\"\u003eIf Valencia 2017-18 speaks to you, if Mestalla has ever thrilled you, this jersey belongs in your collection — not in an Amazon warehouse.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Valencia","offers":[{"title":"M","offer_id":54005598322963,"sku":"338818","price":44.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"XL","offer_id":54005598355731,"sku":"238811","price":24.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0949\/4839\/3235\/files\/eng_pm_2017-18-VALENCIA-SHIRT-M-338818_1.jpg?v=1775179923","url":"https:\/\/supporterid.com\/en\/products\/2017-18-valencia-shirt","provider":"SUPPORTER ID®","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
