This \u003cstrong\u003eAdidas home kit sponsored by FXPRO\u003c\/strong\u003e perfectly embodies that: a strong identity, an ambitious club, a season where the Hornets showed their teeth against the biggest clubs in England.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 style=\"font-size:1.4em;font-weight:bold;margin-top:28px;margin-bottom:12px;\"\u003eKit Details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"line-height:2;margin-bottom:20px;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeason:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2017-2018\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClub:\u003c\/strong\u003e Watford FC\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e Home\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eKit Manufacturer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Adidas\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSponsor:\u003c\/strong\u003e FXPRO\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAvailable Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e S\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 style=\"font-size:1.4em;font-weight:bold;margin-top:28px;margin-bottom:12px;\"\u003eWhat This Kit Represents\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"line-height:1.8;margin-bottom:14px;\"\u003eThe 2017-18 season was a pivotal period for \u003cstrong\u003eWatford FC\u003c\/strong\u003e. Under \u003cstrong\u003eMarco Silva\u003c\/strong\u003e at the start of the season, the Hornets got off to a strong start, displaying ambitions clearly above what most people expected from a club of their standing. Vicarage Road was buzzing, the club was gaining momentum, and this \u003cstrong\u003eAdidas home kit\u003c\/strong\u003e is a direct witness to that. It was a time when the Giallorossi of Hertfordshire – as some fans affectionately call them – sought to establish themselves permanently in the English elite.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"line-height:1.8;margin-bottom:20px;\"\u003eOn the pitch, \u003cstrong\u003eRicharlison\u003c\/strong\u003e arrived that summer and immediately established himself as one of the Premier League's revelations. \u003cstrong\u003eTroy Deeney\u003c\/strong\u003e, the iconic captain, continued to lead the team with his legendary grit. \u003cstrong\u003eAbdoulaye Doucouré\u003c\/strong\u003e marshalled the midfield with an ease that caught the eye of scouts from Europe's biggest clubs. This kit belongs to these three, to a compact, difficult-to-play-against team, capable of stinging anyone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 style=\"font-size:1.4em;font-weight:bold;margin-top:28px;margin-bottom:12px;\"\u003eMoments Etched in This Kit\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"line-height:1.8;margin-bottom:12px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe brilliant start under Marco Silva\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nWatford achieved one of its best Premier League starts under Marco Silva, racking up positive results and finding themselves in the top 8 in the first half of the season. The atmosphere at Vicarage Road was electric, and this Adidas home kit was worn during memorable evenings against top-caliber opponents.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"line-height:1.8;margin-bottom:12px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRicharlison, the revelation of the year\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nSigned from Fluminense for around €11 million, \u003cstrong\u003eRicharlison\u003c\/strong\u003e established himself in a few weeks as one of the most exciting attackers in the Premier League. His home performances, in this specific kit, definitely convinced England – and Everton came calling the following summer, signing him for five times that amount.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"line-height:1.8;margin-bottom:20px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJavi Gracia takes the reins\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nIn January 2018, after Marco Silva's departure, \u003cstrong\u003eJavi Gracia\u003c\/strong\u003e took over and stabilized the team with remarkable defensive solidity. Under his leadership, the Hornets finished the season calmly, securing another year in the Premier League, which remains the primary goal for a club of this size.\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\n\u003cp style=\"line-height:1.8;margin-bottom:14px;\"\u003eAn \u003cstrong\u003eauthentic vintage kit\u003c\/strong\u003e like this one is the real model sold at the time – not a mass-produced replica for tourists. The cut, the Adidas finishes, the FXPRO sponsor flocking, everything is original. You are holding in your hands exactly what supporters wore in the stands of Vicarage Road during home matches of the 2017-18 season.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"line-height:1.8;margin-bottom:20px;\"\u003eThe condition of this kit is not specified in our data, so we invite you to consult the photos and contact us if you need further information. What we can say is that a well-preserved \u003cstrong\u003eAdidas Premier League kit from this era\u003c\/strong\u003e represents a serious collector's item – the Hornets don't exactly have an army of fans flooding the vintage market.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 style=\"font-size:1.4em;font-weight:bold;margin-top:28px;margin-bottom:12px;\"\u003eVintage Size Guide\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"line-height:1.8;margin-bottom:14px;\"\u003eGolden rule of the \u003cstrong\u003evintage kit\u003c\/strong\u003e: a 2017-18 size S is not the size S you know today. Adidas cut their kits more fitted at that time, with narrower shoulders and often a shorter length than current standards. If you normally wear an M in a modern kit, a vintage S might suit you – but it also depends on your body type.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"line-height:1.8;margin-bottom:20px;\"\u003eBefore ordering, measure your chest circumference and compare it with our product photos. If you want to play it safe: take a kit you wear regularly, lay it flat, and measure the width at the armpits and then the back length. These are the two measurements that don't lie. If in doubt, our team is here to help you find the right size.\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\n\u003cp style=\"line-height:1.8;margin-bottom:14px;\"\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eWatford 2017-18 collector's kit\u003c\/strong\u003e checks boxes that many items don't: a club with a true identity, a pivotal season with players who would become stars (Richarlison, Doucouré), a renowned kit manufacturer (Adidas), and an FXPRO sponsor no longer present on the Hornets' kits today. This is exactly the type of kit that gains value as these players build their careers at the highest level. When Richarlison plays in the World Cup or Champions League with his club, people look for his beginnings – and his beginnings are in this kit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"line-height:1.8;margin-bottom:20px;\"\u003eThe market for \u003cstrong\u003evintage Premier League kits\u003c\/strong\u003e from 2015-2020 is booming among serious collectors. Teams like Watford – not Manchester United, not Liverpool – are precisely the most sought after because they are rarer on the second-hand market. There aren't hundreds of them lying around. If you miss this one, you might wait a long time before finding another one in size S.\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\/Watford_F.C.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"\u003eWatford FC - 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 – Kit History\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.premierleague.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"\u003ePremier League – Official Website\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"font-style:italic;line-height:1.8;\"\u003eIf Watford is one of your favorite clubs or if you collect kits from the golden era of the Premier League, this 2017-18 Adidas home kit clearly deserves a place in your wardrobe.
