Atlanta United FC didn't truly exist yet — it was literally the club's first season in \u003cstrong\u003eMajor League Soccer\u003c\/strong\u003e. What you're looking at is an \u003cstrong\u003eAdidas Atlanta United 2017 Player Issue jersey\u003c\/strong\u003e, the one worn by the players themselves during that foundational year, sponsored by \u003cstrong\u003eAmerican Family Insurance\u003c\/strong\u003e, in size XL, and in absolute pristine condition. A born collector's item.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 style=\"font-size:1.4em;font-weight:bold;margin-top:28px;margin-bottom:12px;\"\u003eJersey Details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"line-height:2;margin-bottom:20px;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeason:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2017\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClub:\u003c\/strong\u003e Atlanta United FC\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eKit Manufacturer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Adidas\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSponsor:\u003c\/strong\u003e American Family Insurance\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e Player Issue\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e XL\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e 10\/10\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eState:\u003c\/strong\u003e NEW — never worn, unprepared, straight from the locker room\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 style=\"font-size:1.4em;font-weight:bold;margin-top:28px;margin-bottom:12px;\"\u003eWhat this jersey represents\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"line-height:1.8;margin-bottom:14px;\"\u003e\nWhen \u003cstrong\u003eAtlanta United FC\u003c\/strong\u003e arrived in MLS in 2017, no one really knew what to expect. The franchise was new, the city of Atlanta didn't have an established football culture, and yet from the very first matches, something happened. The club attracted massive crowds to \u003cstrong\u003eMercedes-Benz Stadium\u003c\/strong\u003e, built a solid sporting project, and immediately established a strong identity in American soccer. This wasn't a franchise fumbling around — it was a franchise arriving with clear ambitions.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"line-height:1.8;margin-bottom:20px;\"\u003e\nFor this \u003cstrong\u003einaugural 2017 season\u003c\/strong\u003e, the club was coached by Gerardo \"Tata\" Martino, the Argentine tactician who had managed the Argentine national team and FC Barcelona — quite an impressive resume. On the field, players like \u003cstrong\u003eMiguel Almirón\u003c\/strong\u003e, the electric Paraguayan who would become one of MLS's revelations, and \u003cstrong\u003eJosef Martínez\u003c\/strong\u003e, the Venezuelan striker with a poacher's instincts, wore this jersey and began to build the club's legend. The atmosphere in the stands was already incredible, stadiums were sold out, and MLS understood that Atlanta was a serious market.\n\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 club's first official match — March 2017\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nAtlanta United played its very first MLS match in March 2017, at home in front of over 55,000 spectators. This was the birth certificate of a franchise that would quickly become one of the most popular in the United States.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"line-height:1.8;margin-bottom:12px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMiguel Almirón, the season's revelation\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nIn 2017, \u003cstrong\u003eAlmirón\u003c\/strong\u003e impressed everyone with his speed, technique, and vision. He established himself as the team's creative engine and put Atlanta United on the map as a club to watch in North America.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"line-height:1.8;margin-bottom:20px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRecord attendances for a first year\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nAtlanta United shattered MLS attendance records in its first season, with an average spectator per game far exceeding most established franchises. This jersey was worn under fiery stands, in an atmosphere few American clubs had experienced before.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 style=\"font-size:1.4em;font-weight:bold;margin-top:28px;margin-bottom:12px;\"\u003eAuthentic Player Issue vs Replica\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"line-height:1.8;margin-bottom:14px;\"\u003e\nA \u003cstrong\u003ePlayer Issue jersey\u003c\/strong\u003e is the holy grail for any serious collector. This is not the replica sold in official stores to the general public — this is the version made specifically for professional players. The finishes are on another level: more resistant technical fabrics, a tailored fit designed for performance, manufacturing details you won't find on a supporter version. This is literally what players put on before stepping onto the pitch.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"line-height:1.8;margin-bottom:20px;\"\u003e\nThis \u003cstrong\u003eAdidas Atlanta United 2017 Player Issue jersey\u003c\/strong\u003e is in 10\/10 condition, NEW. What does that actually mean? That it has never been worn for play, never washed, never crumpled in the bottom of a drawer. It is intact, in the same condition as the day it left Adidas' hands. For a jersey from the inaugural season of a club that has since won the MLS Cup, it is truly exceptional.\n\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\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlayer Issue jerseys\u003c\/strong\u003e and professional jerseys in general have different cuts than mass-market replicas. The XL size here corresponds to a tailored professional fit — intended for athletes, not for wearing with a sweater underneath. Generally, authentic football jersey sizes tend to be tighter fitting than usual clothing standards, especially for Adidas models from this period.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"line-height:1.8;margin-bottom:20px;\"\u003e\nBefore confirming your purchase, take your measurements: chest circumference and back length are the two key measurements. Compare them with the actual dimensions of the jersey that we provide on request. A collector's jersey in perfect condition can be worn, framed, or cherished — but in any case, it's best to get the right size to avoid regrets.\n\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\n\u003cstrong\u003eFirst season jerseys\u003c\/strong\u003e of a football club don't grow on trees. Even less so in a Player Issue version. Atlanta United has become in a few years one of the most iconic franchises in \u003cstrong\u003eMLS\u003c\/strong\u003e, with one of the most passionate fanbases in the United States and an MLS Cup title in 2018 — the following season. In other words, this 2017 jersey represents the very beginning of something that would become great. It's pure history.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"line-height:1.8;margin-bottom:20px;\"\u003e\nAnd in this condition — 10\/10, NEW, never worn — there aren't many floating around like this. Player Issue jerseys usually end up exchanged in locker rooms, given to relatives, or put up for sale after years spent at the bottom of a sports bag. Finding an example that deviates from this usual logistics in perfect condition is rare. Truly rare.\n\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\/Atlanta_United_FC\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"\u003eAtlanta United 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.mlssoccer.com\/clubs\/atlanta-united\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"\u003eAtlanta United FC — Official MLS Website\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp style=\"font-style:italic;line-height:1.8;\"\u003e\nThis jersey is ground zero for an adventure that changed the face of American soccer.
