Genuine original Nike Arsenal 2003/04 away shirt, from the legendary Invincibles season, featuring Robert Pires #7.
A particularly special shirt for my husband, as he bought it at Highbury and had the Pires 7 name and number applied in the Arsenal club shop during the 2003/04 season.

The shirt itself is the genuine Nike 2003/04 Arsenal away shirt, with the correct internal labels and Nike product coding. The 112712 product code is associated with this 2003/04 Arsenal away shirt, and the shirt’s construction, fabric, crest, sponsor and labels are all consistent with the original period shirt.
Pires 7 printing
The Pires name and number are original period flock/felt-style Premier League printing, consistent with the official namesets used during this era.
Most importantly, this is not a modern Pires nameset added to a vintage shirt — My husband personally had the Pires 7 applied at the Arsenal club shop at Highbury during the 2003/04 season.
Condition
Overall we would describe the shirt as Very Good for its age.
The colours and shirt fabric remain in very good condition, with the usual signs of age expected from a shirt dating from 2003/04.
There is one small area of lifting to the edge of the number 7, which we have photographed in close-up for complete transparency. The Pires print remains firmly attached overall and displays very well.
Please study all photographs carefully — the close-ups show the labels, product codes, printing and the small area of lifting to the 7.
Why this shirt is special
This is from Arsenal’s unbeaten 2003/04 Invincibles season, when Pires was one of the key players in Wenger’s legendary side.
It also has genuine Highbury provenance — bought at the stadium and personalised in the Arsenal shop at the time.
A great piece of Arsenal, Highbury and Invincibles history, particularly for a Pires or vintage Arsenal collector.
