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 \u003cstrong\u003eEredivisie\u003c\/strong\u003e under coach Zeljko Petrovic, in a season marked by the complete absence of spectators due to COVID-19.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"line-height:1.8;margin-bottom:20px;\"\u003eIt was a difficult season for the club: fighting to stay in the Dutch elite without the support of the stands at \u003cstrong\u003eKoning Willem II Stadion\u003c\/strong\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2 style=\"font-size:1.4em;font-weight:bold;margin-top:28px;margin-bottom:12px;\"\u003eMoments etched in this shirt\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"line-height:1.8;margin-bottom:12px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAn Eredivisie season played behind closed doors\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCOVID-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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"line-height:1.8;margin-bottom:12px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRick Zuijderwijk, the starting right-back\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTrained 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"line-height:1.8;margin-bottom:20px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePol Llonch, the Spanish midfielder at the heart of the game\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA technical midfielder from Spanish academies, Pol Llonch brought his grit and passing quality to Willem II's midfield.

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 \u003cstrong\u003evintage Dutch shirts\u003c\/strong\u003e.\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\u003eFootball shirts from the 2000s to 2020s\u003c\/strong\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"line-height:1.8;margin-bottom:20px;\"\u003eBefore 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.\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\u003cstrong\u003eShirts from Dutch clubs outside the big three\u003c\/strong\u003e (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 \u003cstrong\u003eRobey 2020-21 shirt\u003c\/strong\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"line-height:1.8;margin-bottom:20px;\"\u003eThere aren't many in this condition. A \u003cstrong\u003eshirt signed by several professional squad players\u003c\/strong\u003e, 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.\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\/Willem_II_(football_club)\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"\u003eWillem II Tilburg – 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 – History of jerseys\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 you collect Eredivisie shirts or if Willem II is part of your football history, this signed jersey is a clear opportunity — a new, authentic piece, directly from the 2020-21 season, that won't come around again.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Other Dutch Clubs","offers":[{"title":"S","offer_id":54011377582355,"sku":"367736","price":99.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0949\/4839\/3235\/files\/eng_pm_2020-21-WILLEM-II-SHIRT-S-367736_1.jpg?v=1775480734","url":"https:\/\/supporterid.com\/en\/products\/2020-21-willem-ii-shirt","provider":"SUPPORTER ID®","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
