Willem II 2020-21 Shirt – Robey, Home, Signed by Players

This signed Robey home shirt by several team members — Rick Zuijderwijk, Pol Llonch, Connor van den Berg among others — is a direct artifact from that exceptional season.

What this shirt represents

Willem II is one of the oldest and most beloved clubs in Dutch football. Founded in 1896 in Tilburg, the club is named after King Willem II and embodies a strong popular identity in North Brabant. In 2020-21, the Tricolores — as their supporters call them — played in the Eredivisie under coach Zeljko Petrovic, in a season marked by the complete absence of spectators due to COVID-19.

It was a difficult season for the club: fighting to stay in the Dutch elite without the support of the stands at Koning Willem II Stadion was another form of battle. The players wore this shirt in matches played in an eerie silence, against opponents like Ajax, PSV, or AZ. A season that will remain etched in the memory of true club fans.

Moments etched in this shirt

An Eredivisie season played behind closed doors
COVID-19 emptied Dutch stadiums all season. Willem II played every match in a ghostly Koning Willem II Stadion, without the thousands of supporters who usually create the atmosphere of the Brabant club.

Rick Zuijderwijk, the starting right-back
Trained at the club and an unshakeable presence on the right flank, Zuijderwijk embodies this generation of local players dedicated to the shirt. His signature on this jersey is a direct link to the soul of the club.

Pol Llonch, the Spanish midfielder at the heart of the game
A technical midfielder from Spanish academies, Pol Llonch brought his grit and passing quality to Willem II's midfield. Seeing his name on this shirt means seeing the European dimension the club has built in its squads.

Authentic vs. Replica

An authentic shirt — also known as player issue or match issue — has a different cut, technical competition materials, and a finish that is unlike any replica sold in stores. Robey, a Dutch kit manufacturer specializing in football, is known for its fitted cuts and breathable fabrics that meet professional Eredivisie standards.

This shirt is in 10/10 condition, new state — it has never been worn outside the context in which the signatures were applied. You hold in your hands an item that came directly from the professional world, intact, without any alteration. This is what makes it an exceptionally valuable collector's item for any lover of vintage Dutch shirts.

Vintage Sizing Guide

Football shirts from the 2000s to 2020s generally have more fitted cuts than current standards, especially from kit manufacturers like Robey who size precisely for professional footballers' physiques. A size S on this shirt often corresponds to what a modern wearer of size M would wear tightly — this is the collector style many are looking for, but it's good to know before buying.

Before confirming your order, measure your chest circumference and compare it with the product dimensions. Generally: if you wear a standard modern M, this Robey S will be worn very snugly. Perfect for displaying in a frame or for a bold streetwear look — less suitable if you want to wear something underneath.

Why have it in your collection

Shirts from Dutch clubs outside the big three (Ajax, PSV, Feyenoord) are systematically undervalued in the collector's market — and that's exactly why they're interesting. Willem II is a club with over 125 years of history, three Dutch championship titles to its name, and one of the most loyal fan bases in Brabant. This Robey 2020-21 shirt with the Destil Prolians sponsor is a typical piece from a club with an authentic working-class and footballing culture — exactly the kind of jersey that top collectors look for before its value rises.

There aren't many in this condition. A shirt signed by several professional squad players, in 10/10 condition, still new — that's a rare combination. Signed pieces sell quickly because they combine two values: the textile value of the shirt itself, and the commemorative value of the autographs. Here you have both. Rick Zuijderwijk, Pol Llonch, Connor van den Berg — these are names that truly graced the Eredivisie pitches in this jersey.
