About this shirt

The Barcelona home shirt from 2012 — long sleeve. Sizes S-XXL. Worn in La Liga.

The last season of the Qatar Foundation sponsorship, which had run since 2011. The front changed the following year.

The home shirt is the one the season is remembered by — it is the design that appears in every team photo, every highlight and every sticker album of that year, which is why home shirts anchor a collection and away shirts add the variety around them.

We also hold the home shirt from 2013, 2013/14 and 2011/12.

Barcelona in 2012

Messi’s 91-goal calendar year — 2012, the most goals any player has scored in a single year in recorded football, breaking Gerd Müller’s record from 1972.

Barcelona in the archive

Everything listed by season. The blaugrana stripes are the constant. For most of the club’s history there was no commercial sponsor on the front at all, which is itself a way of dating a shirt. Twenty-nine La Liga titles and five European Cups. Away shirts carry the design risk here. Barcelona have used orange, turquoise, black and various split designs on the road while the home shirt stayed recognisable, so the away is usually the more distinctive shirt from any given season.

Printing, delivery and returns

Name and number printing is free on this shirt. Choose a squad player and the number is applied as issued, or send any name and number you want. Printing adds one to two working days before dispatch, and printed shirts cannot be returned unless faulty — if unsure of the size, order it plain and we print it afterwards for the same price. Full detail on the printing page.

Tracked as standard, everywhere — packed flat between card, never folded into a bag. Allow 7–14 days from order to delivery.

Service	Time	Cost
Standard tracked	7–14 days	£3.95
Orders over £30	7–14 days	Free

The same rate applies to every country: free over £30, otherwise £3.95, tracked, in the same 7–14 days. Orders outside the UK may attract import duty on arrival, which is the customer’s responsibility. Full tables on the shipping page.

30 days from delivery to change your mind — longer than the 14-day statutory minimum. Email hello@shirt-archive.com with your order number before posting anything back; send it unworn with tags attached, and the refund goes to the original payment method within five working days of arrival. If we sent the wrong thing, postage is on us both ways. Full policy on the returns page.

Common questions

Which season is this Barcelona home shirt from?

This is the 2012 home shirt. The season is stated on every listing and on the order confirmation, so what arrives is the season named here, not a current substitute.

What size should I order?

Sizes run S-XXL. Measure pit to pit on a shirt you own and compare it with the chart above — between sizes, take the larger.

Can I get a name and number printed on it?

Yes — free, applied before dispatch, which adds one to two working days. Printed shirts cannot be returned unless faulty, so if you are unsure of the size, order plain and we print it afterwards for the same price.

How quickly will it arrive?

Allow 7–14 days from order to delivery, everywhere. Standard tracked is £3.95, and orders over £30 ship free to every country. Everything is tracked, including international.

Is the long-sleeve version the same fit as the short-sleeve?

The body is identical — only the sleeve differs. Size exactly as you would the short-sleeve shirt.

Will a retro shirt fit like a modern one?

No — shirts of this era were cut looser. A nineties Large sits closer to a modern Medium, which is why the flat measurements above matter more than the size on the label.
