What this jersey represents

The 2022-23 PSV Eindhoven season will be remembered as a season of rebuilding and renewed pride. Under the guidance of then-head coach Ruud van Nistelrooy, the Eindhoven club had a strong campaign in the Eredivisie, finishing as runners-up behind Feyenoord, who were having the season of their lives. No title in the end, but a rediscovered playing identity and a team that had more to say.

This jersey also embodies a pivotal period for the club: when PSV sought to regain control of the Dutch championship after seasons dominated by Ajax. The squad included quality players like Luuk de Jong, who returned to make an offensive impact, and Xavi Simons, the young prodigy on loan from Paris Saint-Germain who truly exploded in the Netherlands that season. And it is precisely that name – Xavi – that is flocked on the back of this jersey.

Moments etched in this jersey

Xavi Simons' explosion in the Eredivisie
On loan from PSG at just 19, Xavi Simons had an absolutely exceptional season in this jersey, scoring over 19 league goals and becoming one of the sensations of the 2022-23 Eredivisie. His name on the back of this jersey makes it a true archival piece – a player who, that season, was the talk of Europe.

The European campaign in the Champions League
PSV qualified for the group stage of the 2022-23 Champions League, returning to the big European stage with the ambition that characterizes the club. Evenings at the Philips Stadion against continental giants were played in this very Puma home jersey sponsored by Brainport Eindhoven.

Ruud van Nistelrooy at the helm
Seeing a club legend take over as head coach of PSV Eindhoven was a strong signal sent to the fans. Van Nistelrooy brought an offensive dynamic back to the team, and this 2022-23 jersey is directly associated with this particular chapter in the club's history.

Authentic vs Replica

An authentic vintage jersey is a jersey that has lived. It's not a museum replica straight out of plastic packaging — it's an item that has been worn, washed, and breathed in. The internal finishes, the quality of the Puma technical fabric, the slim fit characteristic of professional player standards: all of this you won't find on a mass-market replica. The difference is felt from the very first second you touch it.

This one displays an 8/10 condition with some small fabric pulls — these are the marks of a jersey that has been used, not stored in a closet. For serious collectors, this is exactly what gives the piece its authenticity. A perfect 10/10 jersey could be anything. An 8/10 with some history tells a story.

Vintage size guide

Vintage size L football jerseys don't always correspond to what we call an L today. Pro-level cuts from the 2020s remain quite fitted, designed for professional footballers' physiques — broad shoulders, slim chest, standard arm length. If you usually order an L in modern jerseys, you should be in the right zone, but it's still worth checking.

Before finalizing your order, take a measuring tape and measure your chest circumference and shoulder width. Then compare with the exact measurements of the jersey if they are available, or contact us directly — we prefer that it fits you well rather than you having to resell the item because it's too tight. A PSV collector's jersey deserves to be worn, not just hung up.

Why have it in your collection

A PSV Eindhoven 2022-23 jersey with Xavi Simons flocking is a piece that already has strong narrative value — and it will only grow. Xavi Simons is currently one of the most sought-after midfielders in Europe, in the Dutch national team and in the biggest clubs on the continent. His season at PSV will remain the moment when everyone understood that he was a key player in the upcoming generation. Having his name on this specific jersey is having an archive of that turning point.

And in this condition — 8/10, little pulls, excellent overall condition — it's not common. Authentic jerseys of players who lit up the season don't stay on the market for long. True collectors of vintage Eredivisie jerseys know: when a piece like this comes along, you don't hesitate too long.
