The Top 5 Lamine Yamal Shirts
He's barely started his career and already has some of the most iconic shirts in football. Here are the five that stand out.
Lamine Yamal turned 17 two days after the Euro 2024 final. By that point he had already broken Spain's appearance and goalscoring records, scored one of the best goals in the tournament, and become undeniable as Barcelona's most important player. For collectors, his career so far has produced a short but seriously compelling catalogue. Here are the five shirts that matter.
Barcelona 23/24 Home Shirt – The Number 27
Before he moved to number 11, Yamal wore 27 for Barcelona in the 23/24 season. He was 16, already starting regularly in La Liga, and playing a central role in the team. It's easy to overlook this shirt compared to others on this list, but it captures a specific moment: the season before the whole world fully understood what they were watching.
Spain 23/24 Home Kit – The Record Breaking Debut
On September 8, 2023, Yamal came on for Spain against Georgia at 16 years and 57 days old, and immediately became Spain's youngest ever player and goalscorer in the same appearance. Spain won 7–1. He looked completely unfazed. If you're collecting Yamal shirts in any kind of order, this one belongs near the top of the list.
Spain 24/25 Home Kit – Euros Glory
Euro 2024 semi-final against France. Yamal picks up the ball on the right, baits Rabiot, cuts inside, and bends it into the far corner from 25 yards to make it 1–1. He was only 16. Spain won 2–1, then won the one day after Yamal turned 17. The 24/25 Spain shirt is the kit from that whole run, and the goal against France is the moment that defined it.
Barcelona 22/23 Home Shirt – The Debut Jersey
Yamal made his Barcelona debut on April 29, 2023, against Real Betis, wearing number 41. He became the youngest player in the club's history to appear for the first team. The 22/23 shirt with that number is genuinely rare, he only wore 41 for a handful of appearances before switching to 27. For a serious Yamal collection, this is the one that matters most.
Barcelona 24/25 Away Kit – A Splash of Bold Colors
The 24/25 Barcelona away kit is one of the boldest things Nike has put out in years, and it sold out on Barcelona's official website almost immediately after launch. Yamal wears it as the undisputed standout player in the squad at 17. Whether you're drawn to the design, the moment, or both, it's hard to argue it doesn't feel like his shirt.
A Star in the Making
Five shirts in barely two seasons of senior football. The most interesting thing about a Yamal collection right now is that there's still so much to come. Which one is your favourite?
