Erling Haaland

Erling Haaland shirts from the Borussia Dortmund era are where most collectors start. The 2019/20 season was his breakthrough at senior level, arriving from RB Salzburg in January, he hit the ground running in a Puma home shirt that has since become one of the more recognisable pieces linked to his rise. The yellow Dortmund home and the darker away shirt from that season both carry the #17 nameset, worn before he switched to #9. For a Haaland man city shirt collector, the Dortmund pieces represent a short window that closed quickly, he spent only two and a half seasons there before moving to the Premier League.

The Man City Years and What They Produced

The Manchester City home shirt from 2022/23 is the most significant piece in the current collection. That was Haaland's first full season at the Etihad, the year he scored 52 goals in all competitions, broke the Premier League single-season record, and won the treble. The Puma light blue home shirt with the Nexen Tire sponsor and #9 Haaland nameset is directly linked to one of the most statistically dominant individual seasons in English football history. A man city Haaland shirt from that specific campaign is not the same as a generic City piece. The context of that treble-winning season is embedded in it.

Norway and the World Cup on the Horizon

Haaland is Norway's all-time top scorer, and his international shirts carry a different kind of weight to the club pieces. Norway recently qualified for the 2026 World Cup in the USA, and all eyes will be on him when they get there. One detail worth knowing for collectors: on Norway shirts he wears Braut Haaland on the back rather than just Haaland, incorporating his mother's surname. That makes the name set on Norwegian international pieces immediately distinct from his club shirts and adds a specific point of interest for anyone putting together a full career collection. Norway pieces will be added to the collection shortly, ahead of what should be his first World Cup appearance.

Authenticity and What to Look For

All Haaland shirts at First11Shirts are 100% authentic, no replicas and no fan versions. The Man City 2022/23 shirt in particular is worth verifying carefully. Because it is directly tied to the treble season, it was produced in large numbers and has been widely copied since. On an authentic Puma shirt, the badge sits cleanly, the Nexen Tire sponsor is correctly proportioned and centred, and the #9 name set font is noticeably sharper than on replica versions. The Dortmund pieces are slightly easier to authenticate by feel alone given the age, but condition varies.
