SPORTIN LISBON 2002-2003

The Sporting Lisbon 2002-2003 Home Kit, crafted by Reebok, is an iconic piece of football history, famously worn during Cristiano Ronaldo’s debut season with the senior team at just 17 years old. The jersey features the club’s traditional green and white horizontal hoops, with a modern twist: each green hoop is composed of fine alternating green and black lines, creating a darker green effect from a distance. A stylized white panel connects the shoulders to the armpits, separated from the hoops by a thin black line, adding a contemporary edge. The black PT (Portugal Telecom) sponsor logo sits prominently in the center, with a secondary Banco Espírito Santo logo on the back. The kit is completed with white shorts and green-and-white hooped socks, maintaining a cohesive, classic look.

Made from 100% polyester with Reebok’s breathable fabric technology, the kit ensured comfort and performance for players like Ronaldo, Ricardo Quaresma, Mário Jardel, and Pedro Barbosa during Sporting’s third-place Primeira Liga finish. The jersey also featured the Portugal champions patch, marking the club’s title defense from the previous season. Ideal for collectors or nostalgic fans, personalization options for names and numbers, such as Ronaldo #28 or Quaresma #20, are available on retro reproductions. This kit remains legendary as the one where Ronaldo began his storied career, impressing scouts like Alex Ferguson.
