Robhino – Brasil (2005 – 2005) [Yellow Home]

I was going through a real purple patch getting these Brasil shirts. I could not believe my luck. I knew before the games which shirts would come, and if there would be complications getting them. With this particular tournament I knew I would not get worn and unwashed shirts, as the shirts needed to be used by the players throughout the tournament. I knew shirt swapping would not be taking place, and it was good to see this confirmed as I watched the TV coverage. Shirts were used across the tournament, so there were very few per player. I knew I would have to wait until after the tournament to get the shirts, and I managed to get the two best available. This one I received well after the tournament, following the time the team met up next, to enable it to be autographed. This came to me as the Confederations Cup Final shirt, however if you look at the pictures of the game it also looks like the shirt worn in the semi-final also. Most shirts has the lettering level on the back, but this one clearly did not, so matches that used in the semi as well as the final. It was used for the final for sure.
