Original Adidas Germany DFB Home Shirt World Cup 2002
Miroslav Klose – Number 11 – Japan & South Korea – White
Offered for sale is an original Adidas home shirt of the Germany national football team from the 2002 FIFA World Cup in Japan & South Korea, featuring the original name and number 11 of Miroslav Klose.
Germany finished the tournament as World Cup runners-up, and Miroslav Klose was one of the defining players of the competition, marking his international breakthrough at this World Cup.
This is the white home version and includes the official FIFA World Cup 2002 patch on the left sleeve.
This was the only World Cup patch ever worn on the left sleeve. In later tournaments, patches were worn on the right sleeve, except in cases where two patches were used (such as Fair Play or Respect).
The DFB crest with the four stars is straight and correctly positioned, exactly as required on original shirts.

Original vs. Fake – Clear Identification Features
Original Adidas shirts from the 2002 World Cup can be clearly distinguished from counterfeits by the following characteristics:
Fabric and feel
The original shirt has a slightly rough texture and a firm, high-quality feel.
Counterfeits are usually very smooth, noticeably lighter, and feel inferior.
Cut
The original features the wider cut typical of the late 1990s and early 2000s.
Counterfeits are often based on modern cuts from around 2010 onwards, with a slimmer fit, disproportionately short sleeves, and an incorrect-looking collar.
Logos and spacing
On fake shirts, the spacing between the Adidas logo and the DFB crest is often incorrect.
On the original, these elements are precisely aligned and proportioned.
Stitching
Counterfeits show poor and uneven stitching.
Adidas originals are cleanly and consistently stitched.
Size label
The size label on counterfeit shirts is almost always wrong:
-
missing size information
-
incorrect printing
-
poorly positioned or incorrect flag details
-
sometimes missing entirely
Conclusion:
Original and counterfeit shirts are two completely different products, made for two entirely different customer groups.
The original offered here also has strong long-term collector and value potential.
