About this shirt

Engineered by Adidas with breathable ClimaCool technology, this jersey showcases the club's traditional red and white vertical stripes, beautifully elevated by premium gold accents on the V-neck collar and the iconic three-stripes treatment down the shoulders. The front features an embroidered gold Adidas logo alongside a meticulously stitched club crest, with the heat-pressed Dafabet chest sponsor positioned seamlessly across the torso. Both sleeves are adorned with official felt Premier League arm patches. The reverse is fully customized with the official white-bordered black Premier League nameset and bold number 18 of clinical English goalscoring icon Jermain Defoe.
The story behind the shirt
2016/17 in context
The 2016-17 campaign was a highly dramatic and hard-fought season for the Black Cats in the top flight under David Moyes. While the team ultimately faced relegation, the absolute shining light at the Stadium of Light was the sensational individual performance of Jermain Defoe. The veteran striker defied the odds to score a phenomenal 15 Premier League goals, earning himself a emotional recall to the England national team at the age of 34. Defoe's clinical finishes, professional leadership, and deeply heartwarming relationship with young fan Bradley Lowery cemented his legacy as an eternal club hero, making this #18 shirt a deeply sentimental piece for football purists.
