Inter Miami CF 2020 — The First-Ever Jersey of a Franchise Born to Change American Soccer

In 2020, Inter Miami CF played its very first matches in Major League Soccer. A brand-new club, a franchise built around David Beckham's vision, and an inaugural Adidas jersey that forever marks the birth of an ambitious project. What you see here is the zero piece. The absolute beginning.

What This Jersey Represents

Inter Miami CF officially began competing in the 2020 MLS season, a season completely disrupted by the global Covid-19 pandemic. The league was suspended in March, before resuming in a sanitary bubble in Orlando — the famous MLS is Back Tournament — in July. For a club in its infancy, launching a franchise under these conditions was a total challenge. And yet, Miami was there.

The inaugural squad included players like Rodolfo Pizarro, recruited as a key midfielder, American international defender DeAndre Yedlin arriving later, and goalkeeper Luis Robles. The sporting project, led by sporting director Paul McDonough, relied on a mix of players at the end of their European careers and North American talents. All under the constant gaze of the most famous shareholder in world football: David Beckham.

Moments Etched in This Jersey

Inter Miami's first official match — March 1, 2020
Inter Miami CF played its first MLS match on March 1, 2020, against Los Angeles FC, losing 1-0. A beginner's result, but a historic moment: the franchise came to life after years of administrative battles and the construction of the Beckham project.

The MLS is Back Tournament — July 2020
In the Orlando bubble, Inter Miami played its first matches in a completely extraordinary atmosphere, without spectators, in overwhelming Floridian heat. This relaunch tournament is a unique interlude in the history of American soccer, and this jersey is a direct witness to it.

First MLS victory — August 2020
Miami secured its first regular-season victories after the league restarted, confirming that the franchise had the legs to exist in the Eastern Conference. A difficult but foundational first season, which laid the groundwork for a club that would sign Lionel Messi three years later.

Authentic vs Replica

A vintage authentic jersey is a piece produced in limited numbers for the season concerned, with the textile technologies of the time, the original flocking and cutting details that have not been reproduced since. It is not a re-edition, it is not a replica released five years later to fuel nostalgia. It is the real object, manufactured in the real context.

This one boasts a 9/10 condition, which is exceptional for a jersey that existed in the real world. The code EH8637 corresponds to the original Adidas product reference — a detail that true collectors appreciate at its true value. Practically no visible signs of wear, all seams in place, flocking intact. It's rare.

Vintage Size Guide

Vintage Adidas jerseys generally run smaller than current standards. An XL from 2020 often corresponds to a modern L, or even an M depending on body type. The cut from the 2020s was still relatively fitted compared to the oversized cuts that have since exploded in casual sportswear.

Before buying, take a tape measure and measure your chest flat, then compare with the flat measurements of the jersey available on the product sheet. For a vintage collector's jersey in size XL, expect between 58 and 62 cm for the half-chest measurement, depending on the exact Adidas cut of that period. A simple tip: always measure rather than rely on the label.

Why Have It in Your Collection

This Inter Miami 2020 jersey is a collector's item in its own right for a simple reason: it is an inaugural jersey of a franchise that has become, in the space of three years, one of the most publicized clubs on the planet thanks to the arrival of Lionel Messi in 2023. Everything from 2020 — the very first season — will become increasingly rare and sought after. This is the undeniable logic of the collector jersey market: the more the club rises, the more valuable the early relics become.

There aren't many in this condition. A 9/10 on an Inter Miami inaugural season jersey is the kind of piece that disappears from private collections and never returns to the market. Most copies from that era have been worn, washed, and used. This one, no. It's here, intact, available today — and tomorrow is less certain.
